Bitcoin Hong Kong (Bitcoin Asia)

27 – 28 August 2026 · HKCEC, Hong Kong

The APAC edition of the Bitcoin Conference series, held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. It is the largest Bitcoin-only gathering in the region.

Why it might be worth the flight

The programme leans into Hong Kong's regulatory framework - spot ETFs and the territory's stablecoin policy in particular. If you are trying to read where Asian regulation is heading, Hong Kong is currently the most instructive jurisdiction to watch.

Paying while you are there

  • Hong Kong is card-first and Octopus everywhere else. Always choose Hong Kong dollars at the terminal.
  • Tickets and hotels are usually priced in dollars already, so there is nothing to convert.
  • At the card machine, choose the local currency. Never take the offer to be billed in dollars.

Know before you tap

Two rules that save you real money abroad

  1. 01

    At the card machine, always choose the local currency

    Converts once, at a flat 1.8% Forex Charge.

    Why the dollar option costs more

    The machine will offer to charge you in dollars instead. It sounds helpful. It is not. Choose the local currency - baht, yen, won, whatever is on the screen - and your money converts once, at a flat 1.8% Forex Charge.

    Taking the dollar option is called dynamic currency conversion. The shop sets that exchange rate, not Visa, and it usually costs you 3% to 7%. You will never see it listed as a fee, because it is hidden inside the rate. That is the point of it. Say no, every time.

  2. 02

    Online, pay in dollars when the site is already in dollars

    Nothing to convert, nothing to pay. 0%.

    Why this one is not a trick

    Booking sites, conference tickets and airlines often quote in dollars already. That is not a conversion trick. That is just the price. Your money is already in dollars, so there is nothing to convert and nothing to pay. 0%.

    Hotel in dollars. Flight in dollars. Ticket in dollars. Three charges, no conversion on any of them.

Your money stays yours, wherever you land
