BTC Prague

Imagine a visitor who has read about Bitcoin but is still unsure which wallet she needs. A wallet is a tool for receiving and sending bitcoin. It may be an app, sometimes paired with a dedicated device that protects access to the funds. At BTC Prague she can listen to an explanation, then ask someone at a stand how a particular device works. This combination of talks and an exhibition is central to the event. The exhibition, also called the Expo, lets visitors examine products and speak to their makers. Understanding every technical subject is unnecessary: even one question answered well can make a visit worthwhile. [2] [8] [16] [19] [20]

Brothers Martin Kuchař and Matyáš Kuchař are behind the conference. They gained experience running ChainCamp in Ostrava before creating a separate event for an international audience. ChainCamp did not thereby change its name or disappear. The organisers trace BTC Prague’s beginnings to the bear market of 2022: a period of falling prices and waning enthusiasm about Bitcoin. They chose to build an event around meeting and learning at a time when the market was putting many people off. [1] [10] [11]

The first BTC Prague took place on 8–10 June 2023. Later dates were 13–15 June 2024, 19–21 June 2025 and 11–13 June 2026. These editions are associated with PVA EXPO Praha in Letňany; the 2026 terms also name that venue. As of 17 October 2026, the website announces the next edition for 6–8 May 2027, while the frequently asked questions (FAQ) page still says the venue will be announced. The old address should therefore not automatically be treated as the confirmed location for the next conference. [1] [3] [9] [11] [12] [13] [16] [21]

Bitcoin-only means that the main programme focuses on Bitcoin rather than showcasing a wide range of cryptocurrencies and their tokens. Visitors can follow a sustained discussion of the same monetary system. In 2026, Bitcoin Living Masterclass added a broader accompanying programme covering health, artificial intelligence and parenting, among other subjects. That expands the event’s offering; it does not change Bitcoin’s rules. The organiser selects topics and guests, and its views do not speak for everyone who uses Bitcoin. [5] [16]

A large talk and a conversation at a stand serve different purposes. A stage can provide wider context; a demonstration can address someone’s own question step by step. According to the organisers, the main programme and exhibition stage are in English, while the outdoor stage serves a Czech-speaking audience. Choosing both a subject and a suitable language before visiting helps. Visitors should not assume every talk is translated or that a beginner programme necessarily fills the whole day. [11] [16]

Past speakers include Michael Saylor, Jack Dorsey, Jack Mallers and Adam Back. Their experience spans businesses, payments and the development of Bitcoin technology. Listeners benefit from separating accounts of what already works from opinions about what may come next. A well-known speaker’s presence does not establish the quality of every product on display. Nor does a list of past guests announce their participation next year; the current programme needs to be read separately. [1] [7]

Expo, two-day or three-day All Access and VIP tickets do not provide identical access. They differ in days, stages and additional services; the specific ticket description is what matters. A beginner mainly interested in looking at wallets may need something different from a developer attending specialist talks. A demonstration is also no reason to hand a stranger your own wallet backup. A Seed Phrase—the recovery words—may unlock funds; a demonstration device should be enough to explain a product. [6] [18]

Other gatherings, practical workshops and specialist events take place around the conference. For example, dev/hack/day on 18 June 2025 offered a technical programme for people wanting to work directly with Bitcoin software. Bitcoin Corporate Day focuses on using Bitcoin within businesses and has its own attendance arrangements. Nearby dates or inclusion among side events do not imply a shared ticket. For each gathering, distinguish its organiser, location and registration process. [15] [17]

BTC Prague brings international visitors, Czech projects and entrepreneurs together. It grows out of a wider community, however, including projects such as Trezor and smaller gatherings throughout the year. In materials for the 2026 app, the organisers cited roughly 8,500 attendees; a supplier’s case study also mentions more than 100 partners and more than 250 speakers. These figures describe the event’s reported scale, not independently verified talk quality. Likewise, calling a conference the largest requires knowing what is being compared. [8] [14]

Preparation can be simple: write down a question, choose a few suitable sessions and leave time for conversation. Afterwards, review your notes and check suggested procedures against documentation, particularly before entrusting money to a new service. The organisers say recordings of keynotes and panels are gradually published on YouTube; this is not a promise of a live stream. Anyone staying home can therefore start with the archive and use it to decide which subjects deserve more of their time. [16] [18]
