And the Official Adopting Bitcoin Afterparty at Simmer Down Sivar closed things out with local musical acts Third Addiction, Mr Martens Sound, Lebanjy, and an opening set by the one and only @Roger 9000. 🎸

We also saw the launch of @BitTasker , adding to an already unforgettable night!

And a special shoutout to @Satlantis: Social Events and @Jordi Llonch Esteve for hosting and powering the satellite events all week long. 🥳

PubPay.me launched on both main stages and in the Nostr Lounge, with zaps flowing directly to the OP. A strong precedent for future bitcoin events. ⚡️

Thanks @Francis Mars for grinding to get this ready! More stats coming in our final report.

Our art exhibit showcased 30+ Salvadoran pieces curated with Akwa Art Hub, plus some additional special features from @Ralfy & friends.

A big thanks to @FractalEncrypt for the remote support of TimechainArtifacts.com 🎨

Our Privileged Access space & the Speakeasy Stage, directed by @Walton 🕶️, both buzzed with high-signal networking, while the Hacker Space gave builders a quiet area to focus.

Thank you to Liquid Manzana for supporting the PA area + @Breez ⚡️ for giving our builders a challenge to work towards with </time2build> ⚡️

The Network Effect Hall featured 40+ booths, turning the event into a living map of bitcoin’s growing physical network.

The @ Nostr Lounge (organized by @Tanja) serving La Cruz coffee from @Harry was a constant hotspot.

@My First Bitcoin - Bitcoin Education for the World welcomed friends and nodes from around the world on stage & at their lounge, and shared major announcements.

The Bitcoin Museum showcased their Proof of Work on the path to creating "world's preeminent Bitcoin museum for a history worth protecting from distortion".

The Games Area stayed active both days with:

♟️ Ultimate Chess x Rooky (rooky-annotator.pages.dev)
🃏 Poker with Tone Vays, powered by @nprofile1q... - included a total of 6,000,000 sats in play!
👾 @Chain Duel nonstop games, final tournament and fun & education for all!

The Bitcoin Farmers Market brought around 20 vendors, and we also welcomed 8 local food and beverage teams serving for sats.

The whole food & beverages area (+ merch, book sales, and more) was verified by a ⚡️ custom live transaction dashboard ⚡️ built by @nprofile1q..., utilizing @Blink Wallet and connecting to our merchants through our lightning payments partner, Pay With Flash.
