Europe’s energy crisis has exposed the flaws of centralized planning and short-sighted green policies. Bitcoin offers a new path—one where energy and money are aligned. This session explores how mining can incentivize local energy production, support grid balancing, and unlock stranded power. We’ll cover legal precedents, policy threats, and the latest in mining tech like Stratum V2. As the world rethinks energy and sovereignty, Bitcoin is emerging as a bridge between the two.

The Czech Republic is a crypto-capital - and it's not just a phrase. A panel with representatives from Braiins, Trezor and Anycoin will show why the Czech Republic has been the source of world-class innovations in Bitcoin, from the first mining pool to hardware wallets to the leading cryptocurrency exchange. What were the beginnings of these companies and how have their products and the entire cryptocurrency landscape changed over the years? What role did the Czech environment, community and specific mentality play? The panel will offer a behind-the-scenes look at successful projects, open a discussion on the challenges of the present and the future, and show why the Czech Republic has a lot to offer in the Bitcoin world.
