Bitcoin's biggest June conference is not in Miami. Not in Las Vegas. And not in Nashville.
It is in Nairobi.
Bitcoin Nairobi Conference runs at ASK Dome in Jamhuri Park this month. Bitcoin Plus Plus Nairobi runs June seventeen through nineteen, open source edition, with developers flying in to hack on Bitcoin protocol code. Bitcoin School Kenya is shipping a new student Bitcoin app every week through its VibeCode program.
The center of gravity in this industry moved while nobody was watching.
Miami sells real estate. Nairobi ships code.
Bitcoin started in a North American mailing list in 2008. It scaled in Salvadoran beach towns in 2019. Kenyan students are building it in 2026.
Sovereignty is contagious. The country that needs Bitcoin the most learns Bitcoin the fastest. Kenya is one of the largest mobile money markets in the world and one of the youngest tech populations on the planet, and the people closest to the problem are the ones doing the work.
A Bitcoin conference in Miami is a marketing event. A Bitcoin conference in Nairobi is a survival skill.
Real adoption looks for the people who need it.

You've got to start with Customer Experience and work backwards to the Technology. You can't start with the Technology and try to figure out where you're going to try to sell it.
What incredible benefits can you give to the CUSTOMER!? 🤯

Flashback to the very first edition of ABC, when Charlene Fadirepo shared a powerful message about the importance of women seeing themselves in the room and being part of Bitcoin conversations.
Five editions later, that message continues to resonate. More women across Africa are learning, building, innovating, and taking their place in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Representation matters. Visibility matters. And when women see what’s possible, they inspire others to join the journey.
What inspired your journey into Bitcoin?
