We dive into how Bitcoin culture in Europe has evolved, what it takes to build a true Bitcoin community, and the behind the scenes challenges of pulling off a world class event without compromising on the mission.Matyas shares the unique vibe of BTC Prague; why it’s not just another conference, but a meeting ground for ideas, innovation, and connection. We talk about the Czech Republic’s role as a Bitcoin hub, including its no capital gains tax law, a regulatory environment that’s empowering adoption. We also touch on the philosophical side of Bitcoin: is it a store of value, a medium of exchange, or both?From attracting big names and sponsors to sparking mindset shifts across Europe, this conversation is about how grassroots passion meets global impact. By the end, we explore the future of Bitcoin in Europe and how each of us can play a part in driving change; one block, one connection, one story at a time.
