On October 9, 2024, the Bitcoin 2024 Amsterdam Conference, a global Bitcoin industry event, opened at Westergas in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The two-day conference attracted more than 5,000 attendees who will listen to the insights and discussions of more than 150 speakers.
One of the focuses of the conference is discussing Bitcoin as a potential means to combat currency depreciation, especially in the current context of rising inflation in Europe. In addition, Bitcoin's regulatory challenges, mining and the future of scaling solutions are also hot topics.
Among the speaker lineup, Strike CEO Jack Mallers will speak on "Bitcoin Revolution", while Lightning Labs CEO Elizabeth Stark will lead a discussion on Bitcoin technology and adoption. Other well-known speakers include Blockstream CEO Adam Back, German Parliament member Joana Cotar, etc.
Kotal gave a speech at the conference on "How Bitcoin Will Change National Economies", emphasizing Bitcoin's potential to help fight inflation and promote global economic liberalization. She also pointed out that Bitcoin provides economic freedom and financial access to people around the world, especially those on the African continent and in developing countries.
In addition, it is worth noting that Chinese processing hardware manufacturer Bitmain released the S21+ Hyd. and S21+ mining machines at the Bitcoin 2024 Amsterdam Summit.
The energy efficiency ratio of S21+ Hyd. is 15.0J/T, and the single-machine computing power is 319T. This means that the machine can generate 1T of computing power for every 15 joules.
The S21+ energy efficiency ratio is 16.5J/T, and the single-machine computing power is 216T, that is, for every 16.5 joules consumed by the machine, it can generate 1T of computing power. For every 16.5 joules consumed by S21+, it can generate 1T of computing power.
Although the S21+ has a slightly lower hashrate than the S21+ Hyd., its energy efficiency ratio of 16.5J/T is still outstanding, which will bring users a stable and efficient mining experience.
This conference is not only a forum for discussing Bitcoin technology, but also a place to socialize and celebrate Bitcoin culture. Amsterdam, with its central position in Bitcoin innovation and political subversion, provides an ideal backdrop for this global Bitcoin gathering.
As the conference progresses, more announcements and surprises about the future of Bitcoin are expected. This conference will undoubtedly become one of the most important events in the Bitcoin field in Europe and even the world this year.
