On October 17, Astana will host the second international conference and exhibition – Blockchain & Bitcoin Conference Kazakhstan. It focuses on the promotion of the blockchain development, cryptocurrency market, and ICOs.

The event is a part of the Blockchain World Events network organized by Smile-Expo International Company in 25 countries. The conference is aimed at establishing a single communication platform for blockchain experts from all over the world.

Why Kazakhstan?

The country keeps integrating blockchain into the government sector. It is confirmed by the launch of the Invest Online blockchain system in March, which allows citizens to invest in securities of the National Bank of Kazakhstan. According to Erbolat Dossaev, Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the next step is to shift the VAT administration system to blockchain.
