Program BTC Prague 2026

When one person says they use Bitcoin, they don't always mean the same thing that someone else says. Let's explore together Bitcoin's properties and what that really means for what it can be used, by whom, and how.

Bitcoin is money. But if you hear about it in school at all, all you hear about is how people gamble on it and some people get rich while other people lose all their money. No one ever talks about using it as money and a whole new generation are being raised with this false belief. Here's what I wish teachers taught about Bitcoin, money, and the world to really help the next generation use Bitcoin instead of misunderstanding what it is.

Not your keys, not your coins. And if your loved ones can't access your keys, your Bitcoin could be gone forever.

This panel examines what are the right products for self-custody and who benefits from each of them. How to create the most secure setup that works for YOU, without overcomplicating the process. Putting together an inheritance plan along with viable recovery options for those who come after you.

The game of “Getting Bitcoin for Printed Money” is on, whether you like it or not. If you want to learn how to play it yourself, join us for a demystifying session on Invity Turbo Buy: a product designed by Bitcoiners for Bitcoiners to gain an edge over large institutions that can accumulate more Bitcoin by creating liquidity out of thin air.

If you've been around Bitcoin for long, you've seen dozens of "layer two" networks come and go, all with grand promises but often with little more than a centralized bridge and a token to pump. Yet there is a need for a powerful, easy-to-use layer two for Bitcoin that will help Bitcoin scale, provide better privacy, and let us build better tooling around Bitcoin.

So what is the current state of scaling Bitcoin, and how to Spark, Arkade, Bark, BitVM, and all of the other layer two's competing for our attention actually break down?

In Bitcoin, privacy is often lost through small, unnoticed mistakes. This talk focuses on where those mistakes happen and how to fix them, with practical steps ranging from simple habits to more advanced techniques.

The Lightning Network's capacity is an at all-time high at more than 5,500 BTC. In its current state, Lightning can process over $1.1 billion from 5.2 million transactions,, as it continues to prove its worth as a scaling solution. Learn what are the latest developments around Lightning and how individuals and businesses can benefit from adopting Bitcoin's premier layer two solution.

Why does every Bitcoiner need to live in sync with nature, mitochondria, and natural LIGHT? In this talk, we will explore why the Czech Republic and Slovakia are surprisingly risky regions when it comes to light stability and human health, and why we should plan our light exposure just like we plan our daily work tasks.

Jaroslav Lachký will also introduce the first free Mitochondriac app designed to make light planning simple.

Bitcoin fixes the money, but only you can fix your health. Applying "low-time preference" to your body is the ultimate investment. Get 5 actionable, high-impact health hacks designed specifically for the Bitcoiner lifestyle.

As geopolitical tensions rise and trust in traditional institutions erodes, Bitcoin Citadels —sovereign co-living communities backed by hard money— offer a compelling alternative for families seeking autonomy and resilience. Drawing on his experience founding citadel.garden, Rahim Taghizadegan explores both the promise and the pitfalls of building permanent, Bitcoin-backed communities across multiple jurisdictions, asking what it truly takes to create lasting havens in an unstable world."

While the mainstream media talks about Bitcoin as a "speculative asset," entire communities are already using it as their only medium of exchange. This is where the real growth is happening. Learn how to plug into and profit from burgeoning circular economies around the world. Discover the blueprint for living entirely on a Bitcoin standard today, bypassing fiat-dependent supply chains and building local resilience.

While much of the world still views Bitcoin primarily as a speculative asset, in many parts of Africa it is already being used as a practical financial tool for everyday life. This keynote explores how Bitcoin is enabling real economic activity in environments where traditional systems fall short.

Drawing from on-the-ground experience with Conference Bitcoin Afrique, Bitcoin Kids, and grassroots communities across English speaking & Francophone Africa, I’ll share concrete examples of circular economies, education-driven adoption, and the realities of building with Bitcoin where it matters most.

Only those with a sovereign plan will survive and thrive. This panel is a bit dark, tactical deep-dive into worst-case scenario preparation. Learn how to build unshakeable infrastructure —from offline communication, Bitcoin security & No-KYC Peer-2-Peer bitcoin exchange, censorship resistance and energy independence— that keeps your family safe and your Bitcoin accessible even in the most extreme conditions. Don't just hope for the best; build for the worst.

What if the critical systems of civilization —housing, energy, food, and manufacturing— were open, modular, and collaboratively developed like open source software? Open Source Ecology (OSE) is working to make that a reality by creating the Global Village Construction Set: a library of open, low-cost, high-performance machines that enable distributed production and local resilience at industrial productivity.

This keynote outlines how OSE combines extreme design-build, collaborative literacy, and enterprise-backed training to accelerate the development of open hardware ecosystems. By integrating education, production, and entrepreneurship —such as building homes while training new practitioners— OSE demonstrates a viable pathway to an open source economy with lower costs, faster innovation, and broader access to the means of production.

The talk challenges assumptions about proprietary development and industrial scale, presenting a concrete, scalable alternative: a transparent, collaborative model capable of rebuilding the technosphere for abundance, resilience, and human flourishing.

Why Bitcoin —and only Bitcoin— matters in an era still flooded with countless confusing crypto alternatives.

What separates a casual holder from a truly sovereign individual? This session brings together the most "badass" users in the space to share their war stories and strategies. Get the mental models and tactical advice you need to push the boundaries of what's possible with Bitcoin. From high-security ops to radical lifestyle design, learn how to move from being a participant in the network to being a master of it.
