Inside, not next to
You join Taipei's Bitcoiners at their meetups and workspaces. Not a tourist route.
GBCC · Edition 01
A few days to see another city's Bitcoin in person. Starting with Taipei.



0106About
GBCC is a program where Korean Bitcoiners spend a few days inside another city's Bitcoin community.
It isn't a package tour and it isn't a conference. We step into a city where Bitcoin is already part of daily life, and join the people who live it there.
What you see there stays with you. GBCC builds that kind of room on purpose.
You join Taipei's Bitcoiners at their meetups and workspaces. Not a tourist route.
Conversations with people who have looked at Bitcoin, and only Bitcoin, for a long time.
It does not stop at one city. The first room where Korean and Asian Bitcoiners actually recognise each other.
0206Experience
No fixed itinerary. Just the things that happen when you share the same room for a few days.
Confirmed EventWe mark the day Bitcoin first paid for something real, alongside the Bitcoiners of Taipei.
btcsquad.asiaThe standing meetup of Asian Bitcoiners. An hour at the same table tends to be enough.
See speakers
On-siteCoffee, a meal, a cab paid for in real time at Taipei cafés and shops.
Field visitVisiting the rooms local Bitcoiners have built. Seeing what Bitcoin looks like once it's daily.
CulturalJiufen, Shifen, Yehliu, Ximending. Days you remember as landscape rather than as schedule.
TogetherMorning walks, night markets, a quiet last meal before the airport. Most of what stays with you happens outside the schedule.
0306Edition 01 · Taipei
There is no minute-by-minute schedule. Only what is in the room.

Land in Taipei in the afternoon, drop bags at the Ximending base, and head out for the Bitcoin Pizza Day meetup at Taiwan Hub. The day Bitcoin first paid for something real, spent with the local Bitcoiners.

A free morning in the city. In the evening, the Bitcoin Squad Asia meetup. Bitcoiners from across Asia in one room. An hour at the same table tends to be enough.

A day outside the city. The Queen's Head at Yehliu, sky lanterns at Shifen, Jiufen at sunset, and the Gold Museum at Jinguashi. Back in Ximending, a drink to close the evening.

A free morning, or join the group for the changing-of-the-guard at Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. Regroup at the hotel just before noon, then to the airport and the flight home.

A free morning: Yongkang Street, Taipei 101, or one more loop through Ximending. Back to the hotel before noon, then to the airport and the flight home.
The detailed schedule is shared with confirmed participants once it has been settled with the local community. Days flex with mood and weather.

0406Philosophy
Most of us became Bitcoiners in a room where we met someone in person.
GBCC builds that kind of room once a year, in a different city.
Bitcoin grows differently in every city. Taipei's Bitcoin is not Seoul's; it is not San Salvador's. The differences only show up when you go and look.

0606FAQ
Yes. GBCC is about people and a city. Curiosity is enough.
A Lightning wallet installed before you arrive (Corn Wallet, Wallet of Satoshi, Blink or similar). Otherwise: passport, the usual travel kit, travel insurance.
The leads run things in Korean. Local meetups mix in English, with translation and help close at hand. Wanting to be there counts for more than language.
Most people come alone. After a few days in a small group, you tend to leave knowing each other.
Both lodging and flights in Taipei are arranged by the organizers. The group flies together out of and back into Incheon, with the leads alongside.
Yes. After Taipei: El Salvador, then Switzerland. A 2027 edition is also in planning. GBCC is a series, not a one-off.
