Everything about Bitcoin ATMs at EBC 2023!
Apart from some employees from the company CoinFlip, the only company with a stall at the convention was Shitcoins.club. They had their very own ATM with them on display and were on hand to answer any questions and spread awareness about their ATMs. These Bitcoin ATMs can quickly, safely and smoothly convert cash into certain cryptocurrencies and vice versa.
There were a lot of blockchain businesses, startups, entrepreneurs, investors, as well as government and corporate vips. This amounted to a melange of different outlooks and sectors which made for a good mix of ideas and approaches for crypto moving forward.
Compiled in a list below are the different speakers who attended and joined in with the lectures. The topics discussed ranged from finance, security, the future of crypto, and the possible utility for blockchain technologies to such things as regulations, tokenization, and investment strategies. Below is a complete list of all the lectures which were held in the Hyatt Hotel in Barcelona during the convention, the speakers who took part, and a little about the companies they work for and the services they provide.
