What Was Bitcoin Baden 2023?
Bitcoin Baden was a Bitcoin-focused event held in Baden, Switzerland, on 2 December 2023. Built for a wide audience, it offered a first-rate program for every level of knowledge, from curious beginners to advanced enthusiasts, led by well-known speakers. The official page sat on the Bitcoin Baden site. It is a genuine, education-first Bitcoin gathering rather than a broad multi-asset conference.
Switzerland's deep Bitcoin culture makes Baden a fitting home for such an event. To follow similar events, check the crypto events calendar and our Bitcoin events list.
Key Themes at Bitcoin Baden
The agenda matched a Bitcoin-first crowd:
- Bitcoin basics for newcomers.
- Self-custody and security for holders.
- Lightning and payments on Bitcoin.
- Sound money and the Bitcoin ethos.
The all-levels format made it welcoming yet substantive. Many guests also tracked broader blockchain events through CoinGabbar.
How Bitcoin Thrives in Switzerland
Switzerland is a global home for Bitcoin, anchored by the famous "Crypto Valley" cluster in Zug. The country treats crypto as an asset class under clear rules from the regulator FINMA, which classified tokens early and applies a steady "same risks, same rules" approach. The 2021 DLT Act cemented the legal status of tokenized assets and digital securities, giving builders and holders confidence.
Bitcoin enjoys real, everyday acceptance here. The canton of Zug lets residents pay taxes in Bitcoin, and private investors pay no capital gains tax on crypto, just a small annual wealth tax on holdings. Institutions have leaned in too: the largest retail bank, PostFinance, added crypto support in 2024, and FINMA granted the country's first DLT trading-venue licence in 2025, alongside established crypto banks like Bitcoin Suisse and Sygnum. For a grassroots Bitcoin event, Switzerland offers an unusually supportive backdrop. For more shows, see CoinGabbar's crypto conferences page.
