Connecting People, Policy and Bitcoin

Join us to explore the change and promise of the Bitcoin Blockchain industry in South Carolina.

Economic Development
Digital Asset Data Centers are an estimated $1.5 billion opportunity in South Carolina that puts stranded and excess power generation to work in short order. Where they intersect with Opportunity Zones in SC, they create another layer of investment opportunity for big capital gains tax savings. Learn how you can benefit from Bitcoin mining, even on a small scale, and drive a circular economy that promotes savings, education, innovation and expands financial inclusion.

Education
What is digital currency literacy? What should you know about digital wallets, public/private keys, self-custody, mobile identity and accessing both the Bitcoin & Lightning Network, the only public financial network that allows you and your business send money anywhere in the world instantly with little to no fees.

Policy Guidance
We are writing the rules today for the financial system of the very near future. With over 50 bills in Congress and 4 in the SC General Assembly there’s a lot to learn and implement. Get informed, help shape government & legal policies through active involvement and targeted education. South Carolina’s first steps have begun, with $500,000 allocated to State Treasurer Curtis Loftis for “Digital Currency Literacy” in our state.

Foster Investment
Build your network, connect with stakeholders, discover startups and early stage technology companies in the Palmetto State and from around the world.
