THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!!! Been working like a dog for a launch this week.. I'm trying to be compact here... bear with me: Let's wrap up the last 6 months. Since the first BTCHEL event last year, we have: • Upgraded the BTCHEL Hub from a temporary pop-up shop to a permanent and versatile physical space for local bitcoiners. You're welcome to check it out on Fridays when we have open doors and free entry! • Promoted Kaisu Hyvärinen, an experienced event producer as the company's COO and hired new talent; Rachel Geyer, the chairman of European Bitcoin Energy Association, to lead a new event we're launching. Welcome to our team, Rachel! • Raised a seed stage funding round of 100,000€ on a million-euro valuation for the company. We now have two prominent Finnish bitcoin mining companies on board around the year. Now, what's next for 2026? Today marks the 200-day countdown to this year's BTCHEL WEEK and thus we start to push the momentum for real. We launch a new, european wide bitcoin mining industry event similar to what they have in the US... it's about time we have our own in Europe. It's called the EUROPEAN MINING SUMMIT 2026 or EMS in short. EMS is the must-attend industry event for anyone with an interest in bitcoin mining in Europe. Miners, hardware manufacturers, hosts, pools, power plants and the whole energy sector. Our goal is to bring as much hashrate to Europe as possible. This has a tremendous impact for Europe's energy independence, abundance and decarbonisation. Now that we have our trademark industry event where we serve our corporate clients, we can now double down on HC cypherpunk and bitcoin pleb culture at BTCHEL2026. We are committed to staying true to the community ethos at the main event, so be prepared to see the most audacious and unapologetic bitcoin event in September. For BTCHEL, our vision is the actualization of the global Bitcoin Standard, and we are taking care of the Nordics by becoming the most influential Bitcoin media in our region. For that reason, we are sponsoring two other bitcoin conferences here this year: Bitcoin Copenhagen on March 21st and Bitcoin Symposium in Stockholm on April 24th. We want to show support to different initiatives accelerating the local bitcoin adoption in the Nordics with us. I know the market sentiment for bitcoin has not been the best lately, but I'm more bullish than ever. Bear with us through 2026 🧡

MVP’s of the Week 🏆

“A line in the sand” is nothing more than the limit we draw on our willingness to accept rules and behaviors we consider unjust, even when holding that line means making hard choices. You don’t choose Bitcoin because it’s easier. You choose it because it’s right. Proudly @BULLBITCOIN_ Thanks a lot @BTCPrague

This year's @BTCPrague is over. This edition was the most exciting and meaningful for me yet! I thoroughly enjoyed getting up on stage to discuss important security topics like taking self-custody, as well as emerging threats like quantum and AI. My visit to the @vexl stage to talk about the importance of privacy was another highlight. I was also a last-minute addition to the final panel of the conference on building a stronger Europe. We have a lot of work to do, but there are many great people working towards making this continent a better place. I was also running the book corner with the rest of the @btcinfinityshow team, with titles from @natbrunell, @knutsvanholm, @Princey21M, @IoniAppelberg, Max Hillebrand, and more! I also had the thrilling experience of launching my own book, Defending Bitcoin! So far, the response has been extremely positive, and I'm glad that the book has gotten into so many hands over these few days. Thanks to everyone who picked up a copy for your support, and I hope Defending Bitcoin helps you with your Bitcoin security and helps you contribute to the security of the whole network. The wide launch starts tomorrow! Overall, this year's conference left me optimistic and excited! It didn't feel like a bear market. Congratulations to @kucharmartin_ and @Matyas44Cook on another outstanding and inspiring event, and a big thank you for bringing me along to participate in so many ways! See you next year! When saying goodbye to friends, old and new, the phrase I kept hearing was "see you in Helsinki." So, next stop: @btchelevent - hope to see you there!

I identify as part of the Tolerant Minority ™️

Prague is for sure the second best city in Europe!

you can nobble your nodes if you want. you can fork off and find out if you want. or write a sternly worded letter to the internet. you can make silly analogies. but you can't censor bitcoin as we run the nodes. we are the tolerant minority. we keep bitcoin censorship resistant.

Keeping Bitcoin censorship resistant is based, because Bitcoin isn't Bitcoin without it.

NEW: Men under 5'8" threaten Bitcoin Conference boycott unless @coinjoined selfies are banned.

This is for you Yellow

What’s that litte creature?

You’re a pleb.

This year, Prague did something impossible. A bear market conference was completely packed the whole time. I’ve been here since the first one, and my professional evaluation is that this was the best one thus far. 🔥 My utmost respect for the whole team 🫡

Shoutout to the whole @BTCPrague team for putting this event together. Flawless!

I shilled too hard. Boltz was down for hours today lol. Sorry!
