Base Layer 2: Privacy, Buying (Non-KYC + KYC) and Lightning
11 April 2026, 9:55 AM – 1:00 PM Bitcoin.Wien, Getreidemarkt 18/4, 1010 Wien
Base Layer Workshop 2: Privacy, Buying and Lightning
You know how Bitcoin works and you hold your own keys. The next question is: how do you get Bitcoin, how do you pay with it, and how do you protect your privacy along the way?
Buying Bitcoin leaves traces. Paying with Bitcoin requires the right tools. In this workshop you learn both: buying with intention and using Lightning in daily life.
What to expect
Financial privacy as a fundamental right. The difference between KYC and non-KYC purchases and what it means for your coins. Setting up Lightning, sending your first payment. Interactive, in a small group.
