Join us for the next edition of the Bitcoin Brisbane Meetup with special guest Danny Knowles, host of the What Bitcoin Did podcast.
Did you catch the recent WBD episode with Michael Saylor?
Wish you could have been a fly on the wall for that one?
Well … here’s your chance!
WBD’s Danny Knowles will be interviewing – live and in person – Steve Orenstein – founder and CEO of Australia’s (Now New Zealand’s) first publicly listed Bitcoin-only Treasury company – Locate Technologies (NZX:LOC) – at our upcoming Brisbane Bitcoin Meetup.
Steve’s journey into bitcoin and his herculean attempts to pivot an ASX Listed software-as-a-service company into a Bitcoin Treasury company is already a fascinating story.
But that’s just the beginning – Steve capped off 2025 by successfully moving his listing from the ASX to the NZX. Steve is pioneering Bitcoin adoption in our region. This is your chance to hear from Steve’s experiences in integrating Bitcoin into our local financial institutions and systems.
Come along and join in on the debate into the merits and concerns around corporate and institutional adoption of Bitcoin both globally and in Australia.
We’re a Bitcoin-only meetup. No noise. Just signal, conversation, and freedom.
Expect open dialogue, clear audio, and space for real participation. Q&A will run throughout, plus a Soap Box session, your chance to speak for up to 5 minutes on any Bitcoin related topic.
We’ll wrap up the night with music, chats, and a delicious charcuterie board while the conversations flow.
