Welcome to the first SATS’N’FACTS: Bitcoin Technical Unconference in Asia, where we bring together powerful Bitcoin minds to dive into Scalability, Mining, Payments, Infrastructure, and much more.
ETHOS & PURPOSE
We are dedicated to nurturing an environment where decentralization and open collaboration thrive. Our goal is to create space for deep technical discussions, hands-on learning, and meaningful networking to strengthen the Bitcoin community in Asia.
Creativity:
Enable problem-solving, adaptability and flexibly, allowing the expression of knowledge. Art, brainstorm, inspire—all for a seamless collaborative experience.
Privacy First:
No KYC is required, No cameras, no recordings, ensuring a secure and open environment for all. The only place we store this experience, will be in our memories and the relations between participants.
FOSS Advocacy:
We champion open-source software and the advancement of the Bitcoin ecosystem. By design, FOSS frees users to accomplish more by sharing the burden of common tasks. FOSS is about freedom in many forms.
Local Community
Our event is dedicated to bringing together the backbone of Bitcoin within Asia. Connecting with local merchants and business and enable a bitcoin circular economy.
Decentralization
Experience a space where decentralization is not just a concept, but a practice. Everyone efforts will contribute to the experience and success of the event.
Health Balance
An important aspect that many underestimate. A particular focus on maintaining and educating the community on how to create a balanced life while being productive and supported.
The SATS’N’FACTS is run on workshops. This means that when an attendee chooses to pitch, they bring the projects that are the messiest and the toughest. We aim to see the half-baked ideas, the stalled projects, that project that keeps getting rejected…
Industry leaders, including, Roland from Alby, Luke Child from Umbrel, Igor Bubelov from BTC Map and Dea Rezkitha, alongside with other educators and enthusiast developers and builders from around the globe, will attend this first installments of the SATS’N’FACTS.
… that weird thing that doesn’t seem to fit in any server, that thing that might a need a new contributor, a different dataset or a change of methodology. Those projects that keep us up at night!
We aspire to redefine boundaries and usher in a new era of design and development excellence that leaves an indelible mark on the bitcoin environment. A three-day event dedicated to fostering innovation, and freedom within the Bitcoin Developer Community in Asia. We’re setting the stage for a grassroots event that thrives on collaboration for Technical Bitcoiners across the continent.

FAQs
What type of sessions will be organized?
Remember that there’s no schedule, so the first day we will plan:
- The longer formal presentation: yep, this is tricky, because it’s difficult to make a formal presentation interactive in such uncertain environment. But if you have a big, well-developed idea, you can pull it off,
- A short presentation to get things started: 5-15 minutes of prepared material/comments by the session leader, followed by an interactive discussion, submit yours!
- Group discussion: where someone identifies a topic they are interested in, others come to join the conversation and an interesting discussion happens
- My Big (or Little) Question: if you have a question you want to know the answer to, and you think others in the group could help you answer it. This format could also just be the seed of a conversation.
- Show and tell: You have a cool project, a demo, or just something to show and let people play with that is the springboard for all the conversation in the session. Alternatively, you can invite others to bring their own items to show and tell (perhaps with a theme), and everyone takes a turn sharing.
- Learn how to do X: If you’re inclined to teach, this can be simple and effective. Bring the equipment that you need, and have a plan that will let you teach five, ten, or 15 people how to do something all at the same time.
- Hack-on: if you want to be productive feel free to bring your laptop and be productive, you may find someone else in the same mood and you start working ion something together.
Do I have to propose a session/topic to participate?
Nope! Bring as much as you want, and can. Anyone is welcome to just join the proposed sessions. (Many get inspired to suggest something once they see others do it. No pressure, of course!)
Do I need to be an expert to propose a topic or session?
Nope! You are welcome to bring your curiosity, and to propose a topic that you would want to see discussed. There is no guarantee that an expert will show up, but meeting with other non-experts to discuss something is always an interesting option.
So, can I propose a session? How?
Everyone can and yes, please do! Bring ideas to the table, make sure you submit it from this form, or suggest one at the beginning of the event.
So, how one can prepare to join such undefined event?
Ok, advice for everyone at the SATS’N’FACTS…
- Go with the flow – This event is intended to help you and all the other grantees find the time and space to talk with and learn from each other.
- Follow your passion – Go to the sessions that interest you.
- Take responsibility for your own learning – If there are topics you are really interested in that don’t appear on the agenda at first, you need to put them on there.
