FAQ
Sessions are available in both patterns: Japanese and English.
The main stage on September 21 (Day 1) is consciously arranged with mostly Japanese sessions, so that those who are Japanese can learn important trends and overviews related to Bitcoin in Japanese. English sessions will also be provided for the on the main stage on the 21st.
On the other hand, sessions on September 22 (Day 2) will be a mixture of Japanese and English, and the content will be deeper and more specialized than the first day’s topics. There will also be a “Lightning Marche,” “Corporate Booths,” and “TAKARA Arcade” where visitors can actually use Bitcoin.
Yes, we think it makes quite a bit more sense if you are rather less familiar with it.
Bitcoin Tokyo 2024 is programmed for various levels of participation, and much of the content can be well understood by those who are not yet familiar with Bitcoin.
In particular, the main stage on Day 1 is ideal for those who are not yet that familiar with bitcoin, as it discusses the most important trends of bitcoin step by step, including the most rudimentary aspects.
It is also an opportunity for those who are usually involved in crypto or Web3-related businesses other than Bitcoin to efficiently catch up on Bitcoin, as it includes explanations of areas such as the technical, business and use case differences between Bitcoin and crypto/web3.
In addition, the expo space on the Day 2 will have many exhibits where visitors can actually touch and learn about Bitcoin and Lightning Network technology, so even beginners will be able to enjoy it in a hands-on way.
Some of the sessions from the main stage on Day 1 of the conference may be available later on YouTube or elsewhere.
Other sessions will be recorded for archival purposes, but we cannot promise that they will be available to the public. Please buy tickets and visit the venue.
