An open and low-key gathering for anyone interested in Bitcoin.

Always held on the first Wednesday of every month.

For Bitcoin novices and experts alike.

This monthly meetup brings together a diverse group of people from all levels and backgrounds without any barriers in order to give this important new technology a prominent role in Dutch society.

One of the goals of Bitcoin Wednesday is to spread the word about Bitcoin (and related technology) in the Netherlands by raising the overall level of awareness and knowledge.

As experiment for Bitcoin Wednesday, this evening's program will be curated and presented by Mathias Koenraadt, a member of the Dutch Bitcoin community and founder of eCash:
