Dear friends,

Recently we have been at the Bitcoin Conference in Tallinn and want to share with you how it was. This was one-day conference on 9th May 2017. Surprisingly for such a small town (Tallinn has only 400 000 citizens) over 250 people from 20 countries decided to join.

In general, the conference was focused on Estonian and foreign projects implementing Blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Experts shared their experience of implementing Blockchain in governmental institutions, banking system, trading, media, healthcare, and other spheres. It was interesting to learn about new innovative IT products.

Presentations were given by Emercoin, Distributed Lab, Bitcoin Foundation, e-Residency, WageCan, Innovations and Development Foundation, IBM, Openledger, HashCoins, Funderbeam, LHV, National Blockchain Association, BitcoinChaser, Cryptopay, cyberFund, Waves platform, and Tallinn University of Technology.

Here are two speeches of our friends that worth your attention. (Sorry in advance for the video quality, that was a live broadcast).
