bitcoin++ villain edition

bitcoin++ is villainizing bitcoin at the Hoover Dam. This intimate, 100-person event is happening just before the Vegas conference. Join us for two days of scheming at bitcoin++’s first ever unconference style summit.

Hoover Dam, Nevada | Hoover Dam Spillway House | April 23+24, 2026

Why Villians?

bitcoin++ is excited to launch our first ever conference on government property: the Hoover Dam. What better topic to discuss than all the villainous ways that bitcoin developers have worked to subvert the state and themselves. At this two-day seminar and unconference style event, we'll dig into protocol proposals, quantum threats, and maybe even try to soft fork bitcoin from the vantage point of the beautiful Hoover Dam Spillway house.

Tickets include a full hour Hard Hat Tour of the Hoover Dam and power plant. Feel powerful as a bitcoin dev while also marveling at the power of water to make the lights on the Vegas strip stay lit. Guaranteed to be a dam good conference.

Marvel at the power of water at the Hoover Dam

bitcoin++ is heading to the seventh marvel of the engineering world: America's Hoover Dam. We'll spend two days cloistered at the exclusive Hoover Dam Spillway House, a 100-person venue that overlooks the reservoir. Come take a look at what's possible in bitcoin as well as some dam good power generation. All tickets include lunch and a hard hat tour of the power plant on-site.

Who's Coming

bitcoin++'s first ever villain edition will have a controversial lineup of open-source contributors, protocol developers, and button-pushers from around the globe.
