Pure Bitcoin Signal in Prague

Last week in the heart of Europe, the Bitcoin community descended once again onto the charming medieval streets of Prague to attend our favourite Bitcoin conference, BTC Prague.

Often dubbed the ‘Bitcoin Capital of Europe’, Prague has earned a beloved reputation amongst the Bitcoin community as a hotbed of innovation. The world’s first hardware wallet was launched here, it’s host to the world’s oldest known Bitcoin mining pool, and it’s the birthplace of Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 39 (BIP39) which introduced seed phrases as a more practical way to store private keys. That’s an impressive legacy!

It should come as no surprise then that BTC Prague is considered one of the highest signal events on the calendar. The conference is strictly Bitcoin only, you can pay for everything in Bitcoin, and each year it hosts iconic speeches from some of the brightest minds in Bitcoin on its main stage.

This year’s event was even bigger and bolder than ever with over 10,000 attendees, 200+ speakers, hundreds of exhibitors, and countless side events for hardcore builders and innovators. No matter where you find yourself on your Bitcoin journey, BTC Prague will educate and inspire you, and help your skills progress.

Naturally, we had to be there!

For us here at The Bitcoin Way, BTC Prague holds a special significance. It was in Prague in 2023 that we first launched, and each return to this awesome event marks for us another year of growth and impact.

This year was particularly special. With our new and improved branding our stand was more impactful than ever, in the past 12 months our team has grown even bigger, and Tony and Michael blew the audience away with two incredibly powerful talks on the BTC Prague main stage!

Not to mention all the amazing clients and partners we got to meet from our growing community.

We always have fun at Bitcoin Prague, but 2025 took things to another level. Read on as we share some highlights from a truly unforgettable experience…

The Bitcoin Way - A Beacon of Self-Sovereignty

Our Bitcoin Way community grows stronger each year, and our numbers continue to swell each day. That means more people in secure self-custody, more full nodes, more secure devices, more privacy phones, and more Plan B passports.

We aren’t building a customer base, we’re building a self-sovereign army of individuals capable of protecting their property, privacy, and way of life. Some companies have to work hard to craft their ‘mission statements’; ours was obvious from day one.

For the past 12 months we’ve worked hard on our branding and messaging to properly convey this essence of what The Bitcoin Way represents. Our nautical theme represents your journey into the deeper waters of self-sovereignty, and imagery like our lighthouse represents our commitment to helping guide you through any storm that might come your way.

You will have seen this new branding all over our website and socials already, but to see it brought to life in full 3-dimensional glory was an incredible moment for us.

As gold sponsors for the first time at BTC Prague this year, we are truly grateful to see our brand continue to grow from strength to strength.  

We couldn’t have done it without you, our sovereign Bitcoin Way community. Thank-you for your continued support!

Making a Statement on the Main Stage

We didn’t just make a splash with a bigger stand this year, we also made our voices heard with multiple appearances on the BTC Prague main stage!

Our Chief Growth Officer and your favourite podcast host Michael Jordan graced the main stage with a talk about what it will take for Bitcoin to win and the steps we need to take toward the bright orange future we all long for.

And our talisman Tony Yazbeck appeared as part of an expert panel talking about the different approaches to Bitcoin custody, before taking to the main stage again to drive home one of the most impactful keynotes of the conference in his speech – ‘Code of Defiance’!

Here they are in the green room getting warmed up:

Michael Jordan – Bitcoin Only Wins If…

Michael is no stranger to public speaking about Bitcoin, but this was his debut on the main stage at a major Bitcoin conference. And what a debut it was…

Michael pulled no punches as he described the growing risks facing Bitcoin users today as ‘Number Go Up’ mentality runs rampant and countless people are being misdirected into buying basically anything other than actual Bitcoin UTXOs.

Michael’s provocative speech rails against the growing narrative that Bitcoin is nothing more than a store of value (SOV) and encourages the audience to think very carefully about the consequences of us once again relying on custodians and IOUs instead of simply using Bitcoin as money.

Packed with incisive memes and great analogies this is a talk you definitely don’t want to miss.  

Tony Yazbeck – Code of Defiance!

Tony appeared on the main stage in Prague this year on more than one occasion, but the performance you really don’t want to miss is his powerful keynote speech – Code of Defiance.

Tony isn’t known for mincing his words at the best of times, but his performance on stage in Prague brought the house down. Tony delivered nothing but pure signal to the audience, driving home in no uncertain terms that the only way to win back your freedom is by holding your Bitcoin in full self-custody. No custodians, no counterparty risk and no compromises.

Tony’s powerful speech echoed through the halls like thunder, and he was forced to go over his allotted time just to account for the frequent standing ovations from the crowd. If you only have time to watch one of the speeches from Prague this year, make sure it’s this one. It’s a very powerful message that everyone needs to hear.

(The speeches from BTC Prague will be available on their YouTube shortly. Don’t worry, you’ll be the first to know when they are available to watch).

Connecting With Our Bitcoin Way Community

There’s a lot to love about Bitcoin Prague, but one thing that always manages to top the list is getting to spend a weekend surrounded almost exclusively by Bitcoiners. When most of your interactions with other Bitcoiners happen online, it’s a real treat to connect properly with other like-minded individuals in person.

Being surrounded by open-minded, engaged and free-thinking people serves as an incredible tonic. Visiting Bitcoin Prague is like finding an oasis of rational thought in a desert of idiocracy and faulty thinking. The conversations are deep, rich and thoughtful, and the projects people are building are inspirational. We would challenge anyone to attend and not leave feeling incredibly bullish about the future.

If you want to be sure that Bitcoin is going to win, spend some time with other Bitcoiners. Nothing is going to stop such a formidable and intrepid group of people, especially when they have truth on their side.

Connecting with our partners and clients in Prague was definitely one of the highlights from our trip. If you managed to get any great pictures with the team, we’d love to see them so please email them in or tag us on X!

Celebrating the Journey

We’ve come a long way in the past 12 months since Prague 2024. We’ve attracted thousands of new followers, onboarded hundreds of new clients from all over the world, and made a measurable impact on the amount of reachable full nodes on the Bitcoin network.

It’s a great start, but we intend to go much further. The more sovereign individuals we create, the more safe, prosperous and secure society becomes. Every person we take on this journey with us increases our own individual freedoms as a result. It’s our collective duty to keep going and teach more people the skills they need to break free from financial oppression.

Building this community with you over the past three years has shown us what’s possible. The thing that makes us most bullish on the future is you, our clients. The commitment you show towards learning new skills and safeguarding your family’s futures has been nothing short of inspirational.

So, while our mission remains far from over, let’s take a moment to pause and reflect on just how far we have come together. Here’s to each and every one of you for coming with us on this incredible journey!

Come With Us

If Bitcoin Prague taught us anything this year, it’s that despite the growing noise from Tradfi with fiat loan products, proxy stocks, and other such shenanigans, there is a very strong and growing contingent of Bitcoiners who are focussed on what’s important, true self-sovereignty.

This was made abundantly clear by the incredible responses we received about Michael and Tony’s speeches, and the huge number of conversations we had at our booth with people who are focussed solely on Bitcoin.  

This makes us extremely bullish on the future. The more people who learn the skills to set themselves free, the sooner the world can start to heal from decades of broken incentives and corruption.

If you’re ready to join the revolution and learn the skills to set yourself free, then the best place to start is by booking a call with one of our experts. Guaranteeing your future has never been easier.
