A 40-meter-tall Bitcoin and over 500 orange umbrellas achieve a historic milestone: making the world’s largest Bitcoin B. Last Saturday, and despite the intense cold, more than 500 people gathered in the middle of the Campo Argentino de Polo.
June 10 will be a day that remains in the memory of Argentines who are adept at cryptocurrencies because it was the day chosen to celebrate the 10 years of the NGO Bitcoin Argentina, the oldest in the region, with an original meeting and objectivemake the world’s largest Bitcoin B.
“We hope that this is only the first of several attempts to break this record,” the organizers commented, “because it is a way of showing that Bitcoin is a technology that mobilizes people willing to defend the pillars of monetary freedom, privacy, disintermediation finance, distributed trust and other values of this space”, commented Jimena Vallone, director of the NGO Bitcoin Argentina.
Throughout the event, 2 drones captured the dimension of the event, both day and night with cell phones onwhile on the floor people also enjoyed games like a Kahoot that distributed 212121 satoshis (the smallest unit of Bitcoin) among the winners.
“The 21 is in honor of the 21 million Bitcoin that may ever exist and that differentiates it from any other monetary system where the potential emission is infinite,” they clarified from the NGO.
The media Carlos Maslaton was also part of the game. He highlighted the role that this currency has as an alternative for Argentine citizens in the face of the debacle of traditional monetary models, he said that It is a currency that does not ask for permission or state recognition, but is simply the best monetary invention in the world and everyone can access it.
“Despite inflation and new local regulations, this was not an event with a local focus, and that is why we did not block any streets, but instead Its objective is to send a message to the world with this image in defense of the pillars of this ecosystem in times where they are being systematically attacked by abusive international regulations. that try to obscure the advantages of these technologies in order to perpetuate financial, monetary and government models that only concentrate power in the state instead of respecting the rights of individual monetary sovereignty and the demand for greater state transparency”, he highlighted. Rodolfo Andragnes, founder of the NGO and promoter of this meeting.
When asked about the orange umbrellas, the EsHoraDeBitcoin collective that donated them clarified that “those umbrellas represent the role of Bitcoin as a protection against monetary issue and inflation and a protection against the global and inevitable financial crisis, and the orange is for the color of Bitcoin because we wanted an orange that could be seen from the sky”.
“I think it is time to express ourselves in defense of the values of Bitcoin”, added Rodolfo, who also leads ‘B•Arte Award – Express the blockchain revolution with your art’ and the LABITCONF conference. “These other two events will also have the same spirit of encouraging to act, react, intervene and revolutionize in different ways,” he clarified.
