North Korea trip..?
We don't wanna do that, so we’re getting as close to it as possible. We’ll head to the DMZ, descend into a tunnel secretly dug by North Korea, look across the border, and sit down with a North Korean defector for an open Q&A. You MUST bring your passport. VIP ticket holders and speakers of the Bitcoin Korea Conference and/or btc++ Seoul edition are eligible for the tour.

Hosted by Bitcoin Korea Conference
Bitcoin Korea Conference
Bitcoin Korea Conference (BKC) is Korea's Bitcoin-only conference, taking place November 7–8, 2026 in Seoul. Now in its third edition, BKC has covered Bitcoin only — from day one — while other events in Korea have broadened their scope into RWA, stablecoins, and AI. Attendance has grown from 200 at the first edition to 800 at the second, with 2,000 attendees targeted this year. The two-day program brings together developers, educators, and long-term Bitcoiners for talks, workshops, a lightning market, and community building, with a speaker lineup spanning Bitcoin Core contributors, Lightning developers, privacy researchers, and self-custody educators.
