What we’re about
Welcome to Bitcoin Sydney!
This meetup's goal is to bring members content and discussion about the only Blockchain that matters - Bitcoin.
Our speakers, organisers and members comprise some of the most technically proficient, informative and entertaining voices in the Australian Bitcoin scene. Bitcoin Sydney features monthly Bitcoin-focused speaking events delivered by these experts as well as other interesting guest speakers. We also hold regular 'after work drinks' events which provide greater opportunities for discussion and networking. For the more technically minded, our monthly online 'Socratic Seminars' widen the pool of available expertise significantly and feature well known Bitcoin developers from all over the world. This is a Meetup designed to encourage the sharing and bringing together of ideas and insights into this burgeoning movement whilst being accessible to those new to it.
Come and learn about the original and only truly immutable, trustless and decentralized blockchain without all the shilling and the distractions of the latest flavor-of-the-month alt-coins, ICOs or the scams that have attempted to ride the coattails of the the real thing.
Learn how Bitcoin is so much more than "Blockchain" and how blockchain is just one of the ingredients that Satoshi Nakomoto brought together to create something that was not thought possible beforehand and is so much more innovative and interesting than the aforementioned pretenders.
Many of our members have been involved in Bitcoin and attending meetups since at least 2013, giving you the chance to learn from their experiences of Bitcoin's repeated ups and downs.
Some events will involve the option to experiment hands-on, so bring your laptop, smartphone or mobile hotspot if you like.

See all- 14th Aussie Bitcoin Bush BashCooke Park Pavillion, Parkes
FREE 3 DAY EVENT - NO TICKET NECESSARY
Since the first Bush Bash in November 2020, Bitcoiners from all across Australia, as well as some international visitors, have been gathering three, and more recently four times a year, in country towns, to share their passion for Bitcoin and related interests with others, not only in the vibrant Aussie Bitcoin community, but with anyone else keen to find out more about it. Nothing beats hanging out with your fellow Bitcoiners in person, especially in a pleasant rural setting, and these events have grown, now drawing well over 100 people across 2 1/2 days of high-signal presentations and social activity.
As this will be the NSW event, our fifth in fact, Bitcoin Sydney has organised what is sure to be, in the words of one of the Bush Bash's founding organisers @hodoloncomrades, "a ripper of a Bitcoiner's Weekend".
Parkes is within one day's drive of all the Eastern capitals and Adelaide. There are many motels and accommodation options in Parkes.
If you are bringing family or wish to extend your trip, there are several attractions with a 90 minute drive including the Dubbo Western Plains Zoo, Wellington Caves, and of course the famous Parkes Radio Telescope.
Please note, this is a Bitcoin ONLY event. There will be no discussion of "cryptocurrencies" as a broad category.
