Orange pilling through drinks – Bitcoin as money in the real world

Open Source Software meets open bar, as in “the bar is open”, no free drinks. 

Bitcoin Taps: Open Source Hub at Amsterdam 2025 
• Hands-on bitcoin payment terminals 
• Real bitcoin payments for real beer 
• Build, test, and drink 

What if every bar tap was a Lightning node? BitcoinTaps makes it real. Arno and Pieter reveal the tech: open-source firmware for custom hacks, NFC cards for seamless UX, and a merchant portal with real-time sales/load balancing data fiat can’t touch. From 2022 prototypes to handling massive events without a single bank, this is bitcoin proving it’s cheap, fast, and unstoppable.
Open Source Hub Recorded live at Bitcoin Amsterdam 2025.

Drink responsibly and stack sats.
