Maybe you have to do a study, research project or write a paper as part of your education and wonder what Bitcoin is or what the Bitcoin Embassy Amsterdam can do for you? If so, please take your time and read the information below and study the information in other sections of this website. Please use the top bar menu links to read up on our Mission & Vision, various types of Membership types and Listed Projects before contacting us.

Volunteers and the Bitcoin EmbassyBeing a not for profit organization of, generally busy professionals, volunteers with limited time (also for our own activities) we ask you to be well prepared (so read up, do some research and start drafting a coherent proposal or idea!) before contacting us. Appreciate we just do not have the time to engage in correspondence with you to answer all sorts of questions. Best is to first visit one of our meetings and talk to us there. Ideally bring a few printed copies of your project or idea along. We can then quickly assess and hopefully put you directly in contact with the right team or members(s) to quickly get you started.

Note that several of our teams are multi-disciplinary meaning they are open for others than just IT specialists or programmers !
