Members of the Bitcoin Bundesverband at the Blocktrainer Event 2025 in Cologne
The annual Blocktrainer event took place in Cologne on September 27, 2025. The first visitors flocked to the location early in the morning, and the hall filled up with over 1,000 participants over the course of the day. This meant that the event was completely sold out again this year, impressively underlining the steadily growing enthusiasm for Bitcoin in German-speaking countries.
Exhibition with strong participation from association members
A centerpiece of the event was the exhibition area, where various companies presented their products and services. Particularly pleasing: several member companies of the Bitcoin Bundesverband were represented with their own stands and demonstrated the diversity and innovative strength within the community.
Beer of Satoshi caused a stir with its specially brewed Bitcoin beer. Visitors were able to taste the beer directly at the stand and experience how Bitcoin culture and enjoyment go hand in hand.
Coincharge gave a practical demonstration of how retailers can accept Bitcoin and Lightning payments with simple solutions. The demonstration of hardware terminals and a Web-Point of Sale solution, which was also used at the food trucks, at the bar and at the Blocktrainer stand itself, aroused particular interest. Visitors were able to experience first-hand how quick and easy it is to pay with Bitcoin.
Copiaro presented selected products from its range, which met with lively interest and showed how versatile Bitcoin can now be used in practice.
The association members’ stands were well attended throughout and developed into important meeting points for professional exchange.
Meeting place for the community
In addition to the official program items, the event was above all a place for encounters. Numerous members of the Bitcoin Bundesverband were there as visitors. Many of them only knew each other from online calls or chats – so they were delighted to finally be able to meet in person and exchange ideas in a relaxed atmosphere.
Whether over a coffee in the networking area, while talking shop between two presentations or over an after-work beer after the official program: conversations, contacts and new ideas were made everywhere.
Conclusion: A complete success
The Blocktrainer Event 2025 once again showed how lively and diverse the Bitcoin community in Germany is. The combination of in-depth presentations, exciting exhibitors, personal encounters and the opportunity to experience Bitcoin in everyday life made the event a special highlight in the annual calendar.
For the members of the Bitcoin Bundesverband, the event was not only an opportunity to present their projects, but also to strengthen the community within the scene.
Anyone who was unable to attend this year should definitely make a note of the date for 2026 – because one thing is certain: the Blocktrainer event will once again be one of the highlights of the German-speaking Bitcoin scene next year.
