According to the event’s website, the conference will help to build “bridges of friendship and collaboration with the DPR of Korea” in an “exclusive environment of confidentiality” where attendees have “contacts with the highest government officials and engineers”.
The event has attracted considerable scepticism from the US-based bitcoin industry.
