Austin, Texas, is known for its vibrant culture and innovative community. Each year, the city attracts thousands of visitors from around the world to attend the South By Southwest (SXSW) festival, a celebration of music, film, and technology that began over three decades ago. This year, in March, the Bitcoin community in Austin is excited to introduce another event, the #BitcoinTakeover, that will be held in conjunction with SXSW.
