Bitcoin Asia attracted over 6,000 attendees, surpassing initial expectations. Notably, around half of these attendees were from mainland China, highlighting the significant regional interest in Bitcoin. This turnout is particularly exciting considering the recent launch of Bitcoin ETF products and the showcasing of several Bitcoin layer two products at the conference, many of which were developed by local founders and firms. These key statistics underscore the growing enthusiasm for Bitcoin in this region and point to a promising future.

There is an explosion of innovation happening in bitcoin right now. Some of these ideas are going to be famous companies a decade from now; some of these are gonna go to zero. So it’s still the wild, wild west but … it’s now the wild west on layer 2 of bitcoin.
