Bridging Blockchain Eindhoven - Social Edition (Crypto Pubcrawl)
Details
Hi bitcoin and crypto fans,
You know what is better than HODLING coins? Buying more? Selling the dip? No… Spending them on drinks! After having a few meetups in a somewhat formal ‘speaker-audience’ setup we very much like the idea of having an social edition and meet each other during an informal drink.
What we have planned:
= What: informal social drink
= Secret mission: inform people about cryptocurrency as form of payment
= Location: Soul Kitchen at Strijp-S
= Date: friday 27th July 2018
= Time: feel free to join us anytime you like
(optional) 18:00 we’re getting a bit to eat
20:00 Introduction to ‘whatis and howto bitcoin’ and kick off the evening
20:15 Informal drinks
= Bring: curiosity, friends, smartphone

But I’m not an expert?
There’s no knowledge required to join. We will kick-start the session by explaining the basics about blockchain, bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, mobile wallets and anything else you want to know. We can show you how fast and easy a transaction is made between two wallets and help you setup a wallet on your phone. Or not and just talk about your latest investments, (crypto)kitten and Magic The Gathering cards!
Soul Kitchen is the (bitcoin) place!
Our pre-investigation isolated at least one location we know that accepts bitcoins as form of payment: Soul Kitchen on Strijp-S. That is where we will start this first edition of a ‘crypto pubcrawl’. Following Arnhem as ‘bitcoincity’ (see: www.arnhembitcoinstad.nl) we believe Eindhoven has enough high-tech-adopters that can help spread the promise of cryptocurrency by converting thirst and coins into drinks and joy!
If you already know another place in Eindhoven that accepts bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency, or maybe someone with a bar/restaurant that is curious to it, please let us know!
Crypto wallets
A cryptocurrency wallet works a little different from a physical wallet for cash and a little different from an app to check your digital bank balance. We will show you how to use one during the intro session. For those who want to prepare and have some coins ready to spend, these are some of the (mobile) wallets we use ourselves and you can try:
= Coinomi (https://coinomi.com/downloads/) → supports multiple coins
= Blockchain.info (https://blockchain.com/nl/wallet) → easy interface plus browser access
= Paytomat (https://paytomat.com/#wallet) → easy interface
