In April 2025, Bitcoiners from all over the world will converge in Dooala, Cameroon, for the Bitcoin Afrique (CBA) conference, an innovative event dedicated to the adoption of Bitcoin in French -speaking African countries.
This is not just another cryptographic event or Bitcoin, it will be a high -impact focused meeting that aims to educate, empower and connect French -speaking Bitcoin community as never before.
With more than 400 attendees in expected person and a digital scope of more than 50,000 people through social media platforms such as Facebook, X, YouTube and Tiktok, this conference represents a crucial milestone in the adoption of Bitcoin in French -speaking Africa.
But why is this event only French and only Bitcoin? And why is it to house in Dooala, Cameroon, so significant? Let’s explore.
The CFA Franc: a legacy of economic dependence
To understand why Bitcoin’s adoption is gaining ground in French -speaking Africa, first one must understand the controversial CFA Franc, a colonial era currency used by 14 African nations and controlled by the French treasure.
For decades, this system has hindered economic sovereignty, imposed high inflation rates and restricted the independence of monetary policy for millions of people.
Unlike Africans living in English -speaking Africa countries, who often enjoy greater monetary autonomy, Africans in African French -speaking nations remain tied to a financial system that prioritizes stability for France on growth Economic of Africa.
This is where Bitcoin enters.
Bitcoin offers an alternative: an open financial system, decentralized and resistant to inflation and censorship. Empuera to people take control of their wealth without having to trust centralized institutions or foreign influence.
The Bitcoin Africa conference is dedicated to showing how Bitcoin can help break these economic chains.
Why a Bitcoin French conference?
Despite the growing adoption of Bitcoin worldwide, French -speaking Africa remains unattended when it comes to Bitcoin conferences.
Most of the main Bitcoin conferences, educational resources and companies are very focused on English, leaving millions of French -speaking Africans in the global Bitcoin movement.
By making the Bitcoin conference a conference only in French, we are dismantling the language barrier that has prevented access to Bitcoin’s education and network opportunities. This is not just a regional event, it is a movement to establish French -speaking Africa as an important force in the global Bitcoin economy.
For international companies and defenders of Bitcoin, this is a unique opportunity to interact with an unspecified market, create localized solutions and build relationships with base bitcoots that drive adoption in the field.
Why only Bitcoin?
Unlike many cryptographic conferences that mix Bitcoin with thousands of Altcoins and Blockchain projects, the Bitcoin Afique conference is only Bitcoin. Here’s why:
- Bitcoin is the only truly decentralized and resistant digital asset.
- It has the safety and adoption of the strongest network worldwide.
- It is the best tool for financial sovereignty in Africa.
- It aligns with the preservation of long -term wealth, not speculation.
The narrative of “cryptography” in Africa has often been contaminated by scams, Ponzi schemes and unreliable tokens. Many people have lost money pursuing exaggeration, and we believe it is time to reénfocte in the central mission of Bitcoin: financial freedom and economic empowerment.
At the Bitcoin Afrique conference, attendees will not be bombarded with “investment opportunities” questionable or striking technological tricks. Instead, real ideas, practical tools and opportunities for networks that support the adoption of the real world of Bitcoin will obtain.
It is worth noting that this is not Bitcoin’s first conference in the region. In fact, we are inspired by several pioneer events:
- Dakar Bitcoin Days in Senegal was the first Bitcoin conference held in French in the continent, establishing a precedent for Bitcoin education located and accessible.
- Bitcoin Mastermind in Benin, organized by Loic Kassamotto and Alphons Méhoume, and Nourou’s efforts with two editions of Dakar Bitcoin Days have laid the foundations for what our goal is to build.
- The African Bitcoin conference also deserves to be mentioned for its important contributions as inspiration and reference point.
With CBA, we are trying to create a larger Bitcoin educational platform for the region so that we can make our collective voice stronger.
Our long -term vision is to bring the Bitcoin Africin conference to different French -speaking countries in later editions, further expanding the scope and impact of Bitcoin education in Africa.
Why douala, Cameroon?
Doua is the economic capital of Cameroon, an important shopping center and one of the most active cities in Bitcoin in the region.
The organization of the Bitcoin Afrique Conference in AKWA, the Central Business District of the city, is strategic for several reasons:
- Accessibility: Doua is well connected to other African cities and international places.
- Bitcoin community culture: The city has a prosperous Bitcoin scene with active P2P trade, companies that accept Bitcoin and base education initiatives.
- Strategic location: Cameroon is in the heart of French -speaking Africa, which makes it an ideal meeting point for western and central Africa attendees.
For the world defenders of Bitcoin, this is a unique opportunity to experience first -hand how Bitcoin is transforming everyday life into French -speaking Africa.
