The Evolution and Future of Bitcoin: Insights from Andreas Antonopoulos in Prague 2016

Introduction: A City and a Movement

In March 2016, Andreas Antonopoulos, renowned Bitcoin advocate and thought leader, visited Prague for a Bitcoin meetup hosted by the Cryptography and Anarchist Research Center, also known as the Parallel City-States organization. For the first time, Antonopoulos set foot in Prague, marveling at the city's grandeur and recognizing the community's innovative spirit.

He noted the unique experiment of the Parallel City-States community, emphasizing that all attendees paid for their tickets with Bitcoin—an act that would likely have only attracted a handful of American attendees in the US, highlighting the local commitment to the ecosystem.
