₿🎉 UASF Independence Day Anniversary Celebration

Every August 1st, Bitcoiners around the world are celebrating the UASF Independence Day, which showed that Bitcoin cannot be co-opted by petty business interests.

"The biggest takeaway, however, is that Bitcoin Independence Day conveyed who really controls Bitcoin. Its aggregate user base, not the whims of a few mining and corporate oligarchs, are at the helm. This is why we celebrate August 1 — it was Bitcoin’s first major community stress test. And rather than buckle under pressure, the community rose to the occasion."

In Munich we'll also come together for this special occasion at Bikini Mitte, a deli and bar that accepts bitcoins, both onchain and via Lightning.

Please notice that some COVID-19 restrictions still apply!
