Dakar Bitcoin Days return in October 2025 (from October 29 to 31, 2025) for a third edition which already promises to be memorable.
Three days of conferences, workshops and meetings, in the Senegalese capital, around a single subject: Bitcoin. Nothing else. No shitcoins, no distractions, just the heart of the matter.
Why is Dakar becoming a flagship city for Bitcoin in the region?
For two editions, this event has succeeded in creating a unique space in West Africa. A place where developers, entrepreneurs, teachers, students, regulators, traders, and the simply curious meet.
Dakar is not only a beautiful city where life is good, it is also a strategic place to discuss financial inclusion, monetary sovereignty and the role Bitcoin can play in a continent where banking systems still leave many people behind.
The themes of this 3rd edition
This year, four main areas will guide the discussions:
- Bitcoin & Financial Inclusion : how to give a monetary tool to those who do not have access to a bank account.
- Lightning Network : understand instant payment solutions, and see how to use them today in Africa.
- Digital sovereignty : learn how to regain control of your money, your privacy and your online security.
- Education & Communities : because Bitcoin does not spread by itself, but thanks to local initiatives and trainers.
Speakers and speakers
The organizers are already announcing several renowned speakers : technical experts like Claude Bernardini (BTCPay Server, B2P Central), local scene actors such as " Nuru » (Banxaas), Mamadou Diagne, Sebastian Ramos, researchers, developers and entrepreneurs who come to share their experiences. This mix of profiles is what makes the event so rich: we talk concrete, we talk field, we talk future.
A unique setting
Dakar Bitcoin Days, it's not just listening to lectures. It's mostly meet people, chat in the corridors, share a meal or a coffee and come out with new ideas, new partners, or simply new energy. Many participants of past editions speak of a real community which is created beyond the event.
The price of the ticket? 2 sats
Yes, you read that right. Admission for all three days costs only 2 satoshis, or just a few euros. We can clearly see here the organizers' desire to make the event accessible to all.
Payment is made directly via the Lightning Network, allowing you to experience Bitcoin as soon as you purchase your ticket. If you don't have a wallet yet, now's the perfect time to set one up (WalletOfSatoshi, Phoenix, Blink, Breez…).
Why you have to go there
Because this kind of event is rare. You won't find many conferences entirely dedicated to Bitcoin, with such strong African roots. This is an opportunity to:
- Train yourself seriously and for free (or almost).
- Ask your questions directly to the experts.
- Discover concrete local projects.
- Understanding how Bitcoin is already changing the lives of some communities in Africa.
- And above all, join a global dynamic, but adapted to the West African context.
👉 See you at the end of October 2025, in Dakar. Three days to understand, learn, experiment and above all… to experience Bitcoin differently.
