**BITCOIN METROPOLE, WE KEEP BUILDING, EVEN IN WINTER**
@bitcoinmetropole We keep building, even in winter.
We do not care whether we are in a bull market or a bear market. We do not need a rising
#Bitcoin price to stay active. We are not going to sit around complaining that the winter is taking too long. We are here to build, no matter how long it takes.
The Bitcoin Metropole in
#Kempten is a physical place for Bitcoin, self custody, privacy, open source, Austrian economics, culture, education, and real human connections.
There are countless podcasts, videos, and online communities. But what is still missing in many places is a real physical space where people can simply walk in, meet others, ask questions, learn, work, and become part of the community.
That is exactly why we are building the Bitcoin Metropole.
I am there almost every day, from morning until evening. Just yesterday, on a Sunday, someone came to visit us. He was extremely excited about the space and genuinely happy to have found a physical Bitcoin place he could visit.
A place where he could meet people, ask questions, and feel that he was truly part of the community.
Moments like this remind me why we are doing all of this.
We continue to grow, even during the bear market. Over the past few months, we have significantly upgraded the space. We can now host talks, workshops, podcasts, livestreams, panel discussions, book and product presentations, smaller hackathons, private events, and public Bitcoin or privacy events.

The Bitcoin Metropole can also be used as a coworking space.
From August 16 to 19, the
#Domain Summit Europe will take place partly inside the Bitcoin Metropole. This event is an important case study for us because it shows how the space can also be used for larger events.
Around the main event, we are organizing additional activities in the region, including a group excursion and a visit to a local brewery.
This brings people to Kempten, supports local businesses, and shows what can be created around a physical community space. The organizers are not only supporting us financially, they are also bringing experience, valuable connections, and long term visibility.
The plan is to return every year and possibly organize more events with us in the future.
We also recently recorded something very special with Allgäu TV. This is important because we do not want to remain only inside our existing bubble.
We want to show new people, in a simple and understandable way, what Bitcoin actually is, why self custody matters, and why privacy affects everyone.
In a way, the Bitcoin Metropole is like a Trojan horse.
People may enter because of an event, a podcast, a
#workshop ,an exhibition, a product presentation, or simply out of curiosity. But once they are inside, they encounter Bitcoin, open source, privacy, self custody, and financial sovereignty.
Our goal is to bring even more life and activity into the space and make it financially self sustaining over time.
We are growing, learning, and improving the Metropole step by step. We want to host more events, welcome more visitors, support more speakers, and give more people a real physical place where they can discover and understand Bitcoin.
We also want to remain transparent about how we build.
If we need a television, a refrigerator, equipment, furniture, or something else for the space, we look for someone who would like to sponsor that specific item. The sponsor receives permanent visibility inside the Metropole.
This is not about making a profit from the equipment. It is about building this place together, one real piece at a time.
A huge thank you to everyone who already supports us, Domain Summit Europe

A special thank you also goes to our local beekeeper, who has been producing honey for 25 years and will now give every speaker at the Bitcoin Metropole a jar of honey.
These small and personal contributions are part of what makes this place so special.
The current market shows who truly supports Bitcoin culture with their heart. Very often, it is not the people or companies with the biggest budgets. It is the people who may not have much themselves but still decide to contribute something.
There are many ways to become part of what we are building.
Maybe you want to organize a Bitcoin event,
#privacy meetup, workshop, podcast, livestream, hackathon, book presentation, product launch, private gathering, or something completely new.
Maybe you would like to sponsor a specific part of the Metropole, bring your community to Kempten, present your project, or collaborate with us in another way.
If you are interested in anything, simply get in touch with me. We will talk about it and find a way to make it happen.
There are almost no limits to what we can build inside this space and around the region.
Let’s move this culture forward together.
Let’s build together, support each other, and grow together.
We are not waiting for the next bull market.
We are building now.
