Title: Create cryptolina

The Carolinas first-ever Bitcoin Expo will be kicked off in Raleigh on August 15 and 16, 2014. Cryptolina will be held at the Raleigh Convention Center. It will serve as a gateway to hundreds of new interested businesses, investors, and enthusiasts. Cryptolina follows successful Bitcoin conferences held in cities throughout the world, including Miami, Hong Kong, Washington, San Francisco, New York City, and Amsterdam.

More than 500 new faces of the emerging Bitcoin community are expected to attend, network and discuss this emerging industry behind the digital currency. Cryptolina’s announcement comes on the heels of several positive Bitcoin evaluations including acknowledgement by the Federal Reserve that “Bitcoin does not present a threat to economic activity by disrupting traditional channels of commerce; rather, it could serve as a boon."

Cryptolina is being held in Downtown Raleigh in order to capitalize on the flourishing startup scene and exponential growth. Frequently cited as a "New Silicon Valley" of the East Coast, the Research Triangle region is a natural fit due to the high-tech jobs and leading companies.

Current issues and events pertaining to Bitcoin technologies, startups, venture capital investment and angel investment will be discussed during multiple panels. In addition to a Bitcoin based business exhibition, there are plans to host nearly two dozen speakers.
