Bukele’s Bitcoin Conference Enter Thirds Day with 44 Countries Attending
This Monday, 44 central bankers from developing countries around the globe gathered in El Salvador attending a three-day conference where they discuss financial inclusion, financing for small and medium-sized businesses and Bitcoin (BTC).
Upon invitation of El Salvador President Nayib Bukele’s, who announced the big news Sunday night, delegates from Ghana, Burundi, Jordan, Pakistan, Maldives, Costa Rica and many other countries, showed up in the Bitcoin adopted country.
Entering its third and final day on Wednesday, the conference is organized by the Alliance for Financial Inclusion, a global policy leadership alliance, in partnership with El Salvador’s central bank.
El Salvador’s head of central bank, Douglas Rodríguez, said on Twitter:
“El Salvador is proud to receive representatives from 44 central banks and financial authorities to learn about the implementation of Bitcoin and policies to promote Financial Inclusion.”

Currently, there are two countries in the world that have formally recognized Bitcoin as legal tender: El Salvador and recently the Central African Republic.
With 44 countries attending Bukele’s conference, the big question is: Who will be next to embrace Bitcoin? Could it be Tonga, Panama, Honduras or maybe Ukraine?
