FAQ
Why “Bitcoin Only”?
Bitcoin is the only decentralized network: no CEO, no marketing, no pre-mining. We regard everything else as venture capital projects with different risk profiles.
Is Bitcoin Austria political?
Non-partisan. Our position is based on technical and economic facts. We engage with all democratic parties.
Do you receive money from crypto exchanges?
No. No sponsorships, no advertising, no government funding.
