So far, only McDonaldโs in Lugano was the only successful Bitcoin payment, using Corn Wallet by @Team_Corn ๐
Sadly, the restaurant in Vienna (@DasDelicious) and the sausage kiosk in Salzburg (zumgoldenenteller) both didnโt work out ๐ข
Weโre walking around using @btcmap as our guide.
Where should we try next? ๐ค
Update for Berlin:
Louis Ko (@powdae) from @Coconut_BTC is joining us too.
Weโll be at Bitcoin am Holzmarkt with @asheswook from @Team_Corn.

Preparing BSA was one of the most rewarding things Iโve done.
More than anything, it reminded me how much we need to actually talk to each other, face to face, across borders.
Thank you to everyone who came, loved the merch, and made this meaningful.
Next time, we go deeper๐๐งก

Bitcoin Squad Asia (BSA) First Meetup
Final Call for Registration
๐ May 23, 2026
๐ 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM
๐ Tempo House, Taipei ๐น๐ผ @BitcoinHubTW
Registration for the first Bitcoin Squad Asia gathering is now entering its final stage.
BSA is an annual initiative launching in 2026 to bring together Bitcoin builders, educators, developers and community operators across Asia.
This first meetup in Taipei is small by design.
We are not trying to make the biggest room.
We are gathering the people who are already doing the work.
People building Bitcoin communities.
People running local meetups.
People teaching Bitcoin.
People building wallets, Lightning tools, Cashu ecash wallets, full node projects, FOSS education initiatives and Bitcoin native products.
People who are moving Bitcoin forward in their own cities, in their own languages and in their own ways.
For this first gathering, participants from Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Indonesia and India will come together to share what is really happening on the ground across Asia.
Not theory.
Not noise.
Real builders, real communities, real challenges and real collaboration.
๐ฏ What we will discuss
โข Public perception and regulatory environments across Asia
โข Local technical and operational challenges
โข Bitcoin education and grassroots community building
โข Wallets, Lightning, Cashu ecash, full nodes and Bitcoin native products
โข Bitcoin FOSS education and builder ecosystems
โข Knowledge sharing between builders
โข Long term cross border collaboration across Asia

A welcome package for participants is also being carefully prepared.
We still have a few final seats available for builders, educators, developers and community leaders who want to be part of the first BSA gathering.
Applications will close once the remaining seats are filled.
If you are building Bitcoin in Asia, or if you know someone who should be in this room, this is the time to apply.
