🎉🔥\*\*Road to Unconference 2026!\*\*🔥🎉 **Event terbesar [My First Bitcoin](https://edu.myfirstbitcoin.io/) di Asia akan segera hadir 🚀** **Kita akan mengadakan Bitcoin Unconference pertama kami—** **mengumpulkan pemula, alumni, hingga Bitcoiner dari berbagai penjuru dunia.** **📍 Surabaya — 22 Agustus 2026** **🚨Tempat terbatas.** **Kalau kamu mau jadi bagian dari ruang diskusi yang beda…** **👉 amankan tiketmu sekarang:** **[unconference.bitcoinindonesia.xyz](unconference.bitcoinindonesia.xyz)** Halo Bitcoiner Bekasi! 👋 Dunia sekarang makin terasa “ramai”—banyak perubahan, banyak ketidakpastian, dan arah ekonomi global pun nggak lagi satu suara. Di tengah kondisi seperti ini, muncul pertanyaan menarik: apakah ada aset yang bisa jadi tempat berlindung? 🤔🌍 Di meetup kali ini, kita bakal ngobrol santai tentang Bitcoin sebagai *safe haven* di dunia yang semakin multipolar. Bukan buat klaim atau janji berlebihan, tapi untuk memahami kenapa banyak orang mulai melirik Bitcoin sebagai alternatif di tengah dinamika global yang terus berubah. ⚡ Kita akan bahas bagaimana perubahan kekuatan ekonomi dunia bisa mempengaruhi nilai uang, kenapa ketidakpastian sering bikin orang mencari “perlindungan”, dan di mana posisi Bitcoin dalam cerita besar ini. 💭 Menariknya, dari diskusi ini kita bisa melihat Bitcoin bukan cuma dari sisi teknologi atau harga, tapi sebagai bagian dari respons terhadap kondisi dunia yang terus berkembang. Dari situ, perspektif kita biasanya jadi lebih luas. 💡 Meetup ini cocok buat kamu yang ingin memahami Bitcoin dari sudut pandang global, sekaligus melihat bagaimana konteks dunia saat ini ikut membentuk cara orang memandang aset dan nilai. ✨ Seperti biasa, suasananya santai dan terbuka. Kamu bisa tanya, diskusi, atau sekadar menyimak juga nggak masalah. Yang penting, kita sama-sama belajar. 🤝 Yuk gabung dan lihat bareng-bareng bagaimana Bitcoin diposisikan di tengah dunia yang semakin dinamis. Siapa tahu, dari obrolan ini kamu menemukan sudut pandang yang baru. 🚀⚡ 📌 Info Penting:🔸 Tiket **GRATIS**, tapi peserta beli makan/minum sendiri selama acara🔸 Tidak ada promosi altcoin, NFT, token, atau proyek “kripto” lainnya🔸 100% tentang **Bitcoin** — teknologi, nilai, dan potensinya untuk dunia 🔗 **Tentang Kami**🟠[ ](https://x.com/bitcoinindo21)[Bitcoin Indonesia](https://x.com/bitcoinindo21)[ ](https://x.com/bitcoinindo21)adalah inisiatif nirlaba yang bertujuan untuk:🕊️ Menyebarkan pemahaman soal **Bitcoin** sebagai alat pembebasan individu⚖️ Mendorong **kedaulatan finansial** lewat edukasi netral dan jujur📚 Menyediakan konten edukasi **open-source & gratis** untuk semua **📲 Telegram: [https://t.me/+OIIRyKQmvJY0MWFk](https://t.me/+OIIRyKQmvJY0MWFk)** **📸 Instagram: [https://instagram.com/bitcoinindo21](https://instagram.com/bitcoinindo21)** **🌐 Website: [https://bitcoinindonesia.xyz](https://bitcoinindonesia.xyz/)**

Let's have the most delicious Neapoletan pizza in Jakarta at **Pizzeria Zapoli in Menteng 🍕**. This is a new outlet from Zapoli and around the corner of MRT Bundaran HI.
