Cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin have become increasingly popular in South Africa with the word &#8220;bitcoin&#8221; in South Africa, as the most searched for term globally, on Google, in early 2018.</p>
<p>An instructor from <a href="https://sacrypto.co.za" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SA Crypto</a> and from the Blockchain Academy will guide you through many interesting topics. The bootcamp will be held at <a href="https://thesett.co.za/">The Sett</a>, Umhlanga, Durban.</p></div>

<p>The growing interest surrounding the opportunities that cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin, offers, is evident through the enquiries received by the Blockchain Academy.</p>
<p>From investing, trading, mining bitcoin, the opportunities definitely exist. This event is for individuals looking for a crash course on blockchain technology and bitcoin: how to get started using bitcoin, buying, selling on local and international cryptocurrency exchanges, securely storing bitcoin in a wallet, sending and receiving bitcoin and learning about the risks and regulation that governments are imposing on cryptocurrency exchanges. Exploring how blockchain technology could potentially disrupt many industries and how some of the world&#8217;s largest organisations are already using this technology from payments, trade finance, settlements and clearing, identity, energy, health, record-keeping, supply-chain management, provenance, voting, land registries, ownership and many more.</p></div>
