In April 2025, bitcoiners around the world will converge in Douala, Cameroon, for the Bitcoin Afrique conference (CBA), a revolutionary event dedicated to the adoption of Bitcoin in French -speaking African countries.
This is not only another cryptographic or bitcoin event: it will be a focused and high impact meeting that aims to educate, enhance and connect the French -speaking bitcoin community as never before.
With over 400 participants in person expected and a digital scope of more than 50,000 people through social media platforms such as Facebook, X, YouTube and Tiktok, this conference represents a crucial milestone in the adoption of Bitcoin throughout French -speaking Africa.
But why is this event only French and only Bitcoin? And why does it host him in Douala, Cameroon, so significant? Let’s explore.
The Franc CFA: a legacy of economic dependence
To understand why the adoption of Bitcoin is gaining traction in French language Africa, it must first be understood the controversial Franco Cfa-a colonial current currency used by 14 African nations and controlled by the French treasure.
For decades, this system has hindered economic sovereignty, has imposed high inflation rates and independence of limited monetary policy for millions of people.
Unlike the Africans who live in the countries of Africa of English, which often enjoy greater monetary autonomy, the Africans in French -speaking African nations remain linked to a financial system that gives priority to stability for France on economic growth of Africa.
This is where Bitcoin comes into play.
Bitcoin offers an alternative: an open financial system, decentralized and inflation and censorship resistant. It authorizes individuals to take control of their wealth without having to rely on centralized institutions or foreign influence.
The Bitcoin Afrique conference is dedicated to the exhibition as Bitcoin can help break these economic chains.
Why a French Bitcoin conference only?
Despite the growing adoption of Bitcoin all over the world, French -speaking Africa remains undernusing when it comes to conferences on Bitcoin.
Most of the main conferences of Bitcoin, educational resources and companies are strongly focused on English, leaving millions of French -speaking Africans behind the global Bitcoin movement.
By making a conference in Bitcoin Afrique a conference for French only, we are dismantling the linguistic barrier that has long prevented access to bitcoin education and networking opportunities. This is not just a regional event: it is a movement to establish French -speaking Africa as an important force in the global economy of Bitcoin.
For international companies and Bitcoin supporters, this is a unique opportunity to interact with an unsuccessful market, create localized solutions and build relationships with basic bitcoiners that guide adoption on the ground.
Why only Bitcoin?
Unlike many crypto conferences that mix Bitcoin with thousands of altcoin and blockchain projects, the Bitcoin Afrique conference is only Bitcoin. That’s why:
- Bitcoin is the only truly decentralized and censorship resistant digital resource.
- It has the safety and adoption of the strongest network globally.
- It is the best tool for financial sovereignty in Africa.
- It aligns with the conservation of long -term wealth, not to speculation.
The “crypto” narration in Africa has often been contaminated with scams, unreliable Ponzi and token patterns. Many people have lost money by chasing the hype and we believe it is time to re -enter the main mission of Bitcoin: financial freedom and economic enhancement.
At the Bitcoin Afrique conference, the participants will not be bombarded with questionable “investment opportunities” or flashy technological expedients. Instead, they will acquire real intuitions, practical tools and networking opportunities that support the adoption of the real world of Bitcoin.
It is worth noting that this is not the first conference only Bitcoin in the region. In fact, we draw inspiration from various pioneering events:
- Dakar Bitcoin Days in Senegal was the first Bitcoin conference held in French on the continent, establishing a precedent for localized Bitcoin education accessible.
- The Bitcoin mind in Benin, organized by the Loic Kassamotto and Alphons Mehume, and the efforts of Hourou with two editions of Dakar Bitcoin Days all laid the foundations for what we aim to build.
- The African Bitcoin conference also deserves to be mentioned for its significant contributions as inspiration and reference point.
With CBA, we are trying to create a wider bitcoin educational platform for the region in order to make our collective voice stronger.
Our long -term vision is to bring Bitcoin Afrique to conferences in different French -speaking countries in subsequent editions, further expanding the scope and impact of Bitcoin education throughout Africa.
Why Douala, Cameroon?
Douala is the economic capital of Cameroon, an important shopping center and one of the most active cities in the region.
Bitcoin Afrique hosting conference in Akwa, the central commercial district of the city, is strategic for various reasons:
- Accessibility: Douala is well connected to other African cities and international locations.
- Bitcoin growing community: The city has a flourishing Bitcoin scene with active P2P trading, companies that accept Bitcoin and basic educational initiatives.
- Strategic position: Cameroon is at the center of French language Africa, making it an ideal meeting point for participants from West and central Africa.
For global Bitcoin supporters, this is a unique opportunity to experiment firsthand as Bitcoin is transforming everyday life into French language Africa.

Conclusion: an invitation to action
Conference Bitcoin Afrique is more than a simple event: it is a movement. And it aims to free French -speaking Africa from financial colonialism, to educate communities on the power of bitcoin and connect international bitcoiners with a rapid growth market.
