Bitcoin Workshop
Remittances for the 21st Century?
IMTC USA 2014
2:20 pm-5:30 pm
June 25, 2014
“Since the first news about Bitcoin started to gather momentum, the use of bitcoin as a remittance instrument has always been mentioned without a deeper understanding of what this means, how bitcoin could be used by the millions of migrants that send money home everyday. As the premier remittance event in the USA, IMTC has realized that we needed to discuss this issue, setting the ground for a dialog between bitcoincompanies and traditional – and alternative – money transfer entities. Join us!”
