Conference Bitcoin Afrique aims to empower the French-speaking Bitcoin community across Africa.
In April 2025, Bitcoiners from across the world will converge in Douala, Cameroon, for the Conference Bitcoin Afrique , a groundbreaking event dedicated to Bitcoin adoption in French-speaking African countries.
But why is this event French-only and Bitcoin-only? And why is hosting it in Douala, Cameroon, so significant? Let’s explore.To understand why Bitcoin adoption is gaining traction in French-speaking Africa, one must first understand the controversial Franc CFA — a colonial-era currency used by 14 African nations and controlled by the French Treasury.
Most major Bitcoin conferences, educational resources, and businesses are heavily English-centric, leaving millions of French-speaking Africans behind in the global Bitcoin movement. The “crypto” narrative in Africa has often been tainted by scams, Ponzi schemes, and unreliable tokens. Many people have lost money chasing hype, and we believe it’s time to refocus on Bitcoin’s core mission: financial freedom and economic empowerment.
Dakar Bitcoin Days in Senegal was the very first Bitcoin conference held in French on the continent, setting a precedent for accessible, localized Bitcoin education.The African Bitcoin Conference also deserves to be mentioned for its significant contributions as an inspiration and benchmark.
