CoinFest started in 2013 as a relatively small gathering of 100 or so Bitcoiners, celebrating the adoption of Bitcoin at a Waves Coffee House in Vancouver. It was conceived as a way to incentivize cryptocurrency acceptance while educating the public about its importance and use. Its popular success prompted the Bitcoiniacs (now CoinTrader) to place the world’s first Bitocin ATM there, which we again celebrated.

The international events commence April 2nd and conclude on the 8th, surrounding the rumored birthday of Satoshi Nakamoto (April 5).

The THEME of this year’s CoinFest is “LIGHTNING NETWORK!” (This event is April 7th, only).
