So I asked
@Grok:
The famous notorious hardcore bitcoin plebs, the Dutch Noderunners, will have a conference on september 19th.
List the top 10 reasons to visit!🔥
1. Pure Bitcoin-only signal — No shitcoins, no VCs, no ETFs, no compromises. This is a gathering of hardcore Bitcoin maximalists, noderunners, miners, and plebs who actually build and run nodes. Expect zero dilution and maximum orange-pill energy.
2. Historic and symbolic venue — The Koepelgevangenis in Arnhem is a stunning 19th-century panopticon-style former prison (now a cultural space). "We. Are. All. Going. To. Jail!" perfectly fits the theme of breaking free from fiat and reclaiming sovereignty.
3. High-signal talks and panels — Topics include privacy (with experts like Kruw), self-custody, regulations, mining, Nostr, inheritance planning, and more. Speakers and panelists are real builders from the Dutch Noderunners community and beyond.
4. Hands-on workshops — Practical sessions like SeedSigner, SpecterDIY, Bitcoin Core Stratum v2, and Meshtastic. Perfect for leveling up your sovereignty game.
5. Bitcoin art, auction, and culture — A dedicated Bitcoin Art Museum open all day, plus a grand live auction hosted by
@onthebrinkie with pieces from Bitcoin artists. Support creators and take home unique orange art.
6. Arcade, games, and fun — Noderunners Blitz arcade, Chain Duel tournament (sats on the line),
@NoderunnersFM jukebox. It's not just talks—it's a full-day pleb party.
7. Networking with real builders — Meet Noderunners, Lightning devs, miners, privacy advocates, and the Dutch Noderunners crew. Expect genuine connections with people who walk the walk (no paper Bitcoin crowd).
8. Beer from BitcoinTaps, accepting sats. Spend your Bitcoin on-site in a circular Bitcoin economy.
9. Affordable and no-profit mission — Pleb tickets are Lightning-only (~93k sats at current rates), with proceeds going to the Noderunners donation fund for education, media, and building.
10. Arnhem Bitcoin City vibes — Arnhem has a long history as a Bitcoin-friendly spot with merchants accepting BTC. Combine the conference with exploring local Bitcoin culture in a beautiful Dutch city.
This is shaping up to be one of the most authentic, builder-focused Bitcoin events in Europe. Limited tickets—grab yours at
noderunners.network if your heart beats orange. 🧡
