The mother of all cryptocurrency meetups

The three Belgian cryptocurrency meetup groups, Antwerp, Ghent and Brussels, came together for a single day of talks, workshops and a hackathon.

The programme is a snapshot of what the Belgian scene was working on in late 2014: the launch of EBTM, the bitcoin machine operator; Stad van Bitcoin, Ghent's effort to get merchants accepting bitcoin; a Trezor hardware wallet demo, when hardware wallets were still novel; and a session with the Belgian Bitcoin Association, founded earlier that year by members of this community.

Pizza was ordered and paid for in bitcoin, which in 2014 counted as a demonstration.

Frequently asked questions

Some frequently asked questions for you.

Blockchain Brussels is Belgium’s first and biggest community of blockchain and crypto believers. It is also one of the oldest European meetup around Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and blockchain-based applications. Created in 2013, we organise events, conferences, gatherings and workshops for crypto users and blockchain experts on a regular basis.
We are building a blockchain community from the ground up in Belgium. We’re providing an inclusive forum for software developers of all levels, Crypto Enthusiasts and general public interested in Bitcoin to improve their understanding of distributed ledger technology and its social impact.
The aim is to bring together people that are interested in cryptocurrencies in the widest possible sense; to promote discussions among people from different fields of expertise, having different backgrounds and therefore different perspectives. The goal is to find common interests to be explored further, practically creating any kind of experimentation, vulgarization, or business opportunities. We target any kind of audience, whether you have strong expertise to share, you are totally new and curious, or even just want to pass by to have a beer and say hello!
Yes. We’re looking for sponsors to join us in growing our blockchain community and build long term partnerships. You can find all the details in the sponsorship document
You can apply to speak at a meetup. You can also have a look at the sponsorship opportunities.
Depending on current events and new blockchain projects, as well as the interest of our members, we organized in the past presentation sessions dedicated to topics such as :
  • Privacy and fungibility inn blockchain : a focus on Monero
  • Blockchain for energy
  • Altcoin and Bitcoin 2.0 platforms
  • Cryptocurrencies and Belgian taxation
  • Hardware wallets and cold storage solutions
