From May 23 till May 25 I was in the Bitcoin capital of The Netherlands: Arnhem. There was a full program around the conference day on Saturday. I and many other bitcoiners gathered to celebrate the 10th anniversary of #bitcoincity Arnhem.

Playing the Blockhunters board game

It was very honourable to play with one of the first prototypes of the boardgame Blockhunters developed by Arnold Hubach.

Nostr meetup: Nostrdam Arnhem

A nice small present from Jurjen and meeting Nathan Day in real life from btcmap.org. A project that deserves some Nostr integration (which he agrees with!).

A gift from Bitpopart together with Patrick (who organised Adopting Bitcoin Arnhem), Jeroen, Mr. Bitpopart in the middle and Djuri. I’m on the right ;-)

Gravel at the Veluwe

On Friday morning I enjoyed a 70km gravel ride on the Veluwe to Radio Kootwijk and back.

Bitdevs meetup

In the afternoon I attended the Bitdevs meetup. It was my first time and I expected a lot of technical stuff to be discussed. This wasn’t the case, all conversations were led very professionally in an easy, understandable way. Also, the Silent payments (https://silentpayments.xyz/) feature was introduced to me. A very interesting feature integrated in Bitcoin recently which I would like to dive in later.

Meeting the Noderunners community

On Thursday I got a nice pin from a Noderunner community member. The Noderunners are a community with 200+ bitcoin-only minded people. I already knew some of them, but every time I attend a Bitcoin event I always learn to know new people who are often also members of that community. During the Bitcoin Business meetup on Friday night, I also met a new Noderunner who was also camping at the same site as me. He was literally standing beside me with his tent! Noderunners on stage
