Our mission

Understanding Bitcoin beyond finance.

Founded four years ago, BitPolito has grown rapidly while staying focused on a deeper understanding and awareness of Bitcoin. We explore its technological and social dimensions, avoiding financial topics.

Our work spans computer science and mathematical R&D, education through courses and events, industry conferences and educational content with a scientific approach and a youthful voice.

BitGeneration, our successful lecture series for high schools, offers a solid overview of Bitcoin. Internally, members train together, contribute to FOSS projects and gain hands-on experience on challenging real-world work.

Inspired by the Cypherpunk movement, we stand for freedom, privacy and open-source principles. We collaborate with institutions, businesses and organisations to advocate the free and responsible use of technology.

Working together
