Photodump and my highlights from Adopting Bitcoin Arnhem

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.

I'm using a Blossom (Nostr) mediaserver (which I'm hosting at https://nosto.re) for the images here

Playing the Blockhunters board game#

It was very honourable to play with one of the first prototypes of the boardgame Blockhunters developed by @npub1w98e...cwpx .

Nostr meetup: Nostrdam Arnhem#

A nice small present from @npub1l77t...swft and meeting @npub1cn67...wt8a in real life from btcmap.org. A project that deserves some Nostr integration (which he agrees with!).
A gift from Bitpopart together with @npub14mge...jgm5 (who organised Adopting Bitcoin Arnhem), @npub17plq...ezx0 , @npub1gwa2...a2sz in the middle and @npub1k5f8...vqg2 . 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!
