I attended @BTC Prague with one main objective: Meet in person the event organizers and community leaders I've spent months talking to online. The result? New friendships, stronger partnerships, unforgettable side events, and a renewed conviction that Bitcoin adoption happens through communities. From the Bitcoin Educators Unconference to the Spanish Reunion, this year's BTC Prague reminded me why showing up matters. I wrote a few reflections on the people, events, and lessons I brought back to Barcelona. 👇 Read the full article below.

BTC Prague 2026: The Value of Showing Up

When I arrived at BTC Prague this year, I had a simple goal. I wanted to finally meet in person many of the event organizers and community leaders I

I'm about to start another workshop on how to monetize your community in Prague. If any of you is at @My First Bitcoin & @npub17f0f...v8ue Unconference, join me!! Tx @npub1jwjr...8lew for capturing it 📹

At the @npub16u0y...qpwk in Prague (right before @BTC Prague) I shared a stage with Max Hillebrand and Denis from Pubky to debate: Building on Nostr: Hype vs. Reality. We talked trade‑offs: censorship resistance vs. scalability vs. UX. Protocol comparisons. Bitcoin‑native identity layers. But here’s what I kept coming back to, both on stage and in how we build at @npub15xd2...t3l3: Nobody cares about your tech stack. Not really. Not the user. What they care about is: Does this app solve a real problem? Is it seamless? Does it respect my freedom without making me think about it? That’s why I see Nostr as an identity layer—not as a religion. Identity is fundamental. The protocol beneath it should be invisible. And that’s exactly what we’re doing at Satlantis: pouring all our energy into building the best events app we can. People will come for the product—for the experience, the connections, the utility. Not because it runs on Nostr vs. Pubky vs. something else. The most honest takeaway from the panel? Even when Max, Denis and I disagreed on architectures, we agreed on this: Build things people actually want to use. Everything else is noise. So my question to you: When was the last time you chose an app because of its protocol—or because it just worked? #FreedomTechSummit #Nostr #Pubky #Satlantis #Bitcoin #UX #BuildForPeople

⚠️ Most Bitcoin communities never break the 100-member mark. Last week, I asked 40 Bitcoin community leaders from around the world a simple question: "How big is your community?" 🔹 65% have 10 – 100 members 🔹 20% have 100 – 1,000 members 🔹 5% have 1,000+ members The interesting part isn't the numbers. It's that organizers from different countries are facing the same challenges: attracting newcomers, keeping people engaged, finding sponsors and turning meetups into sustainable communities. The people solving those problems are sharing what's working (and what's not) inside my Community Leaders Telegram group. ⚠️ A new 24-hour poll just opened: "What type of events do you run?" If you're building a Bitcoin community, you'll want to see the answers before the poll closes. Join the conversation and vote here 🗳️

Most #Bitcoin communities start with meetups, but running a variety of event types keeps members engaged and helps your community grow. I'm running a poll in my Community Leaders Telegram group, where I help community leaders grow profitable communities. 🗳️ Participate here:

Back in my hometown for the second edition of @npub1cc83...yz96 and once again reminded why I love this space. I wrote a short reflection on the conference, the cypherpunk spirit, and why community builders are becoming one of the most important forces in Bitcoin adoption. Let me know what you think. 🤝 Huge thanks to everyone I met, from old friends to new builders.

Barcelona Cyphers Conference 2026: The Cypherpunk Spirit is Alive and Well

Hey everyone! As you know, @npub15xd2...t3l3 has undergone a massive evolution. We've officially moved away from the "social travel super-app" concept to focus on a singular, powerful new mission: building the best, Bitcoin-native events platform in the world. Our focus is entirely on supporting the event organizers, meetups, and community builders who drive real-world connection. Over the last 6 months, we've successfully powered more than 1,000 events on Satlantis (yes, in only 6 months 😎), and we've learned exactly what it takes to build a thriving, highly engaged community from scratch. 🙋‍♂️ If you are running a meetup, conference, or community, I want you in our new group. I'll be sharing exclusive insights on building successful communities and helping you solve real-life use cases based on everything we've learned. Join me here to level up your community:
