Second issue with Kaupr Events: a full calendar, and the first with two Kaupr events on at once: 31 October with Bitcoinpolitisk Institutt Norge, 4 November with FirstBlock-athon Stockholm.
After those, twelve more across the Nordics and Baltics, week by week through November, and two write-ups from last week.
UPCOMING LIVE EVENTS
Hvem lytter til Bitcoin i Norge?
BPI in the Kaupr studio
A Kaupr virtual event with Bitcoinpolitisk Institutt Norge · Saturday 31 October · 14:00–15:30 CET · Live online · In Norwegian
Who in Norway is actually listening to bitcoin — the banks, the central bank, the politicians? Who listens to BPI itself? And where does bitcoin sit next to stablecoins, tokenisation and the rest of the digital asset wave? Secretary general Morten Søberg and others from the organisation, in the studio.
The date is not an accident: 31 October is the day Satoshi Nakamoto published the bitcoin white paper in 2008. Towards the end of the broadcast we run an open, verifiable draw based on a bitcoin block hash, and bring the winner of BPI's recruitment campaign on live. Free, and it is a webinar, so you can take part in the chat rather than only watch.
Impact Onchain
From hackathon to real projects
A Kaupr virtual event with FirstBlock-athon Stockholm · Wednesday 4 November · 11:00–12:30 CET · Live online
In September, eight teams spent five days building in Stockholm. Then everyone went home.
This event is about what happens next. Not a look back at the hackathon, but a look at what it actually takes to turn five days of building into a project that survives contact with the real world — funding, partners, pilots, and the people who have to say yes.
It is also about blockchain beyond finance more broadly. The question is not limited to the eight challenge areas from September, and neither are the people we are bringing in.
Speakers and programme announced shortly. Free, live on Kaupr.io and YouTube, with the recording available afterwards.
Registration opens here first, before anywhere else. Register for Impact Onchain →
