NiceHashX is organized as part of NiceHash’s celebration of its tenth anniversary. The company was started by two Slovenian students in 2014, marking a decade of innovation in the hash power marketplace.
The two-day event, styled as “Bitcoin Conference on the Sunny Side of the Alps,” aims to provide attendees with insights into the European crypto market, focusing primarily on Slovenia. The conference also aims to highlight Maribor and the Slovenian region’s contributions to the crypto market, particularly towards Bitcoin adoption.

With 10 years of experience in this industry, we have witnessed phenomenal growth in the interest of using Bitcoin here in Maribor and around the country.”
The event will also showcase Slovenia as a significant hub for Bitcoin. NiceHash revealed that over 1000 businesses across the nation are already accepting crypto assets for payments of goods and services.
