Fellow Cypherpunks attending BTCPrague 2025!
We’re excited to announce the third edition of the Cypherpunk Meetup — an independently organized, official side event of BTCPrague.
Expect a cool venue, fresh guests, great networking, and even a few surprises!
This year, we'll explore the structures that connect us, confine us, and could one day set us free.
🔥 Webs, grids, meshes
🫂 Peer-to-peer Everything
We often get smitten by the picture of the world as a hierarchy: Someone always above, someone always below. Bosses, leaders, rulers, chains of command, all wrapped in societal imperatives.
But if you zoom out, the real world doesn’t run on pyramids – it runs on webs. Across the world, resilient communities and decentralized networks are quietly rewriting the rules. They don’t wait for permission. They don’t hold press conferences. They operate in whispers, in code, in trade, in trust. They don’t change the world top-down.They change it side-to-side, network to network.
Bitcoin has the power to turn a gathering into a market. A message into a contract. A connection into a livelihood. It empowers not just the individual, but the network—and in that network, we are seeing real resistance grow. And here, Bitcoin can play a critical role: as private money, as collateral, as a tool for exit.
Come to learn what works, meet those who’ve walked the path in different shoes and get inspired about how to connect the dots, the nodes and the webs into an unbeatable movement.
Because the people building the future aren’t climbing ladders. They’re weaving webs.
Come to ask not “How do we win?”—but “How do we weave?”

Crowdfunding
We are just enthusiasts wanting this event to happen.
We are crowdfunding the cost of the venue and rental
of the technical equipment. If there are any money
left over, we will get some drinks.
If you paid the invoice, you are in. There are no
automatic e-mail confirmations. If you
want to reach out with a question, please first read
this whole page, then you can e-mail us.
FAQ
Why didn't I receive confirmation e-mail after paying?
This is OK. There are no automatic e-mail
confirmations, if you paid the invoice, you are in.
Why is there a higher price if I choose on-chain Bitcoin payment?
Buying
tickets with on-chain transactions is expensive - both
for you and for us to spend the coins. The
additional fee covers mining fees to swap to lightning.
If you don't like it, start using Lightning and pay
for the ticket in Lightning. It will be cheaper for
you since the first transaction. Juraj has even made a super comprehensive course if you really want to dive in.
Is this event only for visitors of BTCPrague?
Nope. Anyone can join.
