On October 28-29 on Ceresio the main leaders of the Blockchain industry and authoritative experts of the financial markets and the Bitcoin environment

The Plan ₿ Forum event, promoted by Tether Operations Limited of the British Virgin Islands and City of Lugano, will see the major leaders of the Blockchain industry take turns on the stage of the Palazzo dei Congressi on 28 and 29 October, together with authoritative personalities who are experts in global financial markets and the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Plan ₿ is a joint initiative dedicated to the conscious integration of Bitcoin technology in the most populous city in the Canton of Ticino, from small economic transactions in local businesses to the payment of taxes, levies and public duties.

The Lugano Plan ₿ Forum presented the new speakers who complete the program and who will share their experiences on the cryptocurrency system with the public, in particular the most widespread and well-known one, and on the sensitive issue of individual freedoms.

Off to “Plan B” and to Lugano, the Blockchain capital of Europe

A unique virtual reality experience in the footsteps of the founder of WikiLeaks

During the forum, participants will also be able to have a unique virtual reality experience in the footsteps of Julian Assange.

For visitors it will be an opportunity to reflect on freedom of speech through the virtual navigation of the places where the journalist and communicator has lived in the last 10 years: from the Ecuadorian embassy in the United Kingdom to his current detention in the maximum security prison of Belmarsh in London.

Thanks to the presence of Julian Assange's family, a preview of the documentary film Ithaka will also be offered, an intimate portrait of the father John's struggle for the liberation of his son, produced by Gabriel Shipton.

From the ambassador of El Salvador to "crypto" exchanges between Israelis and Palestinians

Ambassador Milena Mayorga will participate in a panel discussion on the adoption of Bitcoin by states and nations, as recently happened in El Salvador and the Central African Republic.

Fadi Elsalameen will address the issue of the use of Bitcoin in favor of trade between Palestinians and Israelis.

Farida Bemba Nabourema will moderate a panel discussion entitled "Bitcoin as a tool for financial freedom".

Why is “public” Bitcoin liked and circulated in two sovereign states?

The right to privacy, inclusion and freedom (individual, speech, financial)

The Lugano Plan ₿ Forum includes speeches, interviews and panels with group discussions.

It will be a unique opportunity for dialogue with industry experts, in an open discussion with the other participants.

Panels and conversations will focus on the complex Bitcoin ecosystem and an insight into its different components.

“bitcoin” is a word used globally to define the digital currency that can be purchased, stored or exchanged; however, the word "Bitcoin" also defines the technological protocol that allows the creation of digital transactions.

The Bitcoin ecosystem is based on some fundamental principles that will be explored in the forum: the right to privacy, inclusion and freedom (individual, speech and financial).
