Surfin’ Bitcoin 2024 took place from August 28 to 30, 2024, in Biarritz. It was a dynamic platform for enthusiasts and professionals in the world of Bitcoin.
The conference kicked off with a public day on August 28, featuring a screening of the film “Cryptocurrencies: My Incredible Odyssey”, followed by a panel discussion aimed at demystifying Bitcoin compared to other cryptocurrencies, with Yorick de Mombynes from the French Court of Auditors. On August 29, the discussions shifted focus to professionals, addressing the impact of Bitcoin ETFs, the MiCA regulation, and the introduction of the Digital Euro by Michel Khazzaka from Valuechain, with expert contributions from Charles Gave and Yves Choueifaty. Finally, August 30 was dedicated to enthusiasts and developers, exploring technological advancements and the economic dynamics of Bitcoin, with Francis Pouliot from Bull Bitcoin discussing security and innovations. The event not only served as a platform for networking and education but also highlighted the growing importance of Bitcoin in the global financial landscape.
