Book flights to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) for the shortest transfer to the venue; it is the main international gateway for the city.

November is a normal-demand month in Amsterdam, but the first week can be busy, so book early for the best choice of times and fares. Confirm baggage rules, check-in times and any visa or ETIAS requirements before paying for non-refundable tickets. Fares are not published on the Bitcoin Amsterdam organiser site; compare live prices on airline or travel booking sites.

Have the SugarFactory address ready for the driver and allow extra time on the morning of 5 November.
Public transit: Amsterdam's public transport is run mainly by GVB, with trams, metro, buses and free ferries. The metro connects Amsterdam Centraal, Sloterdijk and the outer districts; trams serve the city centre and many hotel areas.

Check live schedules and any planned service changes before travelling to SugarFactory, especially on the morning of 5 November.
Parking: SugarFactory sits in central Amsterdam, where on-street parking is limited, paid and often controlled by permit zones. Rather than driving to the venue, consider an Amsterdam P+R (park and ride) site on the city edge and continue by metro or tram, or leave the car at a hotel and use public transport.

FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
Glossary
- Bitcoin (BTC)
- The first decentralised digital currency, launched in 2009, settled on a public proof-of-work blockchain. At Bitcoin Amsterdam, BTC is the reference asset for sessions on adoption, custody and regulation.
- Satoshi Nakamoto
- The pseudonymous creator(s) of Bitcoin who published the 2008 whitepaper and mined the genesis block. Conference panels often reference Satoshi's design choices when debating scaling and governance.
- Blockchain
- A cryptographically linked, append-only ledger replicated across nodes. At the event, speakers discuss blockchain data, transaction fees and block space in the context of Bitcoin's base layer.
- Lightning Network
- A Layer 2 payment protocol that routes off-chain BTC transactions through payment channels for faster, cheaper settlement. Lightning demos and merchant-payment workshops are a recurring Bitcoin Amsterdam topic.
- On-chain / off-chain
- On-chain means transactions recorded in Bitcoin blocks; off-chain refers to Layer 2 or custodial systems settling outside the base chain. This distinction shapes conference talks on fees, privacy and scalability.
- Self-custody
- Holding your own private keys rather than trusting an exchange or custodian. Self-custody hardware and wallet UX are among the most popular exhibit categories at Bitcoin Amsterdam.
- Seed phrase
- A 12- or 24-word human-readable backup that can restore a Bitcoin wallet. Conference security talks stress offline storage and never sharing the phrase.
- Halving
- The roughly four-year event that cuts the Bitcoin block subsidy in half, reducing new BTC issuance. Market outlook panels at the event frequently frame cycles around the next halving.
- Mining and hash rate
- Mining secures Bitcoin by expending computational work; hash rate measures total network processing power. Mining-economics sessions at Bitcoin Amsterdam cover energy, hardware and difficulty adjustment.
- UTXO
- Unspent Transaction Output, the discrete chunks of BTC that a wallet can spend. UTXO management affects privacy, fees and transaction batching discussed in developer tracks.
- Multisig
- A wallet requiring multiple keys to authorise a transaction, used by treasuries, exchanges and families. Custody and business-security sessions at the event cover multisig setups.
- Taproot
- A 2021 Bitcoin upgrade improving privacy, script flexibility and efficiency for complex transactions. Technical workshops at the conference may reference Taproot-based applications.
- Layer 2
- Protocols built on top of Bitcoin's base layer, such as Lightning, to increase throughput and lower fees. The event's scaling discussions compare Layer 2 trade-offs.
- Cold storage
- Keeping private keys offline on a hardware device or paper backup. Exhibitors at Bitcoin Amsterdam often display hardware wallets and metal seed backups.
- KYC / AML
- Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering rules that regulated exchanges and custodians must follow. Policy panels at the conference debate the impact on privacy and onboarding.
- Fiat on-ramp
- A service that converts traditional currency into BTC, such as an exchange or broker. On-ramp UX, fees and regulation are frequent topics for exhibitors and speakers.
- DCA
- Dollar-cost averaging, a strategy of buying fixed amounts at regular intervals. Retail-investor sessions at the event often discuss DCA versus lump-sum buying.
