The Northern Lightning Conference is set to take place in Bergen, Norway from March 17 to 19, and it promises to be the “most Bitcoin experience” in the world. The conference will feature high-signal speakers and will be topped off with an otherworldly rave running on Lightning.
Norway has become the “biggest bitcoin mining hub in Europe” with less than 0.07% of the world’s population, but churning out nearly 3% of Bitcoin’s global hash rate. This is mostly thanks to cheap, stranded, and renewable hydropower in the north.
Erik Dale, an organizer of the upcoming conference and host of a Scandinavian Bitcoin podcast, said that the conference will be a pure-signal event. The conference will feature some of the most knowledgeable and experienced speakers in the Bitcoin community, who will share their insights and knowledge with attendees.
The conference will also feature a rave that will run on Lightning, a payment protocol that enables fast and cheap transactions on the Bitcoin network. The rave will showcase the potential of Lightning and demonstrate how it can be used to power real-world applications.
The Northern Lightning Conference is a testament to Norway’s growing influence in the Bitcoin community. With its abundant renewable energy and supportive regulatory environment, Norway is well-positioned to become a major player in the Bitcoin ecosystem. The conference is a great opportunity for Bitcoin enthusiasts to learn more about the technology and connect with like-minded individuals from around the world.
