Hype, and we believe it’s time to refocus on Bitcoin’s core mission: financial freedom and economic empowerment.At Conference Bitcoin Afrique, attendees won’t be bombarded with questionable “investment opportunities” or flashy tech gimmicks. Instead, they will gain real insights, practical tools, and networking opportunities that support the real-world adoption of Bitcoin.It’s worth noting that this is not the first Bitcoin-only conference in the region. In fact, we draw inspiration from several pioneering events:Dakar Bitcoin Days in Senegal was the very first Bitcoin conference held in French on the continent, setting a precedent for accessible, localized Bitcoin education.Bitcoin Mastermind in Benin, organized by Loic Kassamotto and Alphons Mehoume, and the efforts of Nourou with two editions of Dakar Bitcoin Days have all laid the groundwork for what we aim to build.The African Bitcoin Conference also deserves to be mentioned for its significant contributions as an inspiration and benchmark.With CBA, we are attempting to create a larger Bitcoin educational platform for the region so that we can make our collective voice louder.Our long-term vision is to bring Conference Bitcoin Afrique to different French-speaking countries in subsequent editions, further expanding the reach and impact of Bitcoin education across Africa.Why Douala, Cameroon?Douala is the economic capital of Cameroon, a major trade hub, and one of the most Bitcoin-active cities in the region.Hosting Conference Bitcoin Afrique in Akwa, the city’s central business district, is strategic for several reasons:Accessibility: Douala is well-connected to other African cities and international locations.Growing Bitcoin Community: The city has a thriving Bitcoin scene with active P2P trading, businesses accepting Bitcoin, and grassroots education initiatives.Strategic Location: Cameroon is at the heart of French-speaking Africa, making it an ideal meeting point for attendees from West and Central Africa.For global Bitcoin advocates, this is a unique chance to experience firsthand how Bitcoin is transforming everyday life in French-speaking Africa.Get InvolvedBitcoiners, businesses, and global stakeholders can support this initiative by purchasing tickets or sponsoring the event.Information about both is available via the conference’s website.Conclusion: A Call to ActionConference Bitcoin Afrique is more than just an event — it is a movement. And it aims to liberate French-speaking Africa from financial colonialism, to educate communities on the power of Bitcoin, and to connect international Bitcoiners with a rapidly growing market.The time to act is now. Join us in Douala from April 25th to 27th, 2025, and be part of history.This is a guest post by Nzonda Fotsing.
