Welcome to the Bitcoin Era

Imagine a place where the air smells like fresh coffee and the only currency accepted is Bitcoin. That’s right! The Bitcoin Hostel is making waves as Europe’s inaugural Bitcoin-only hostel and it’s nestled in vibrant Portugal—get ready for Bitcoin enthusiasts to converge!

Meet the Founders: A Dynamic Duo

Let’s talk about the masterminds behind this innovative venture. Albert Wolframm and his partner Valeria Pandimiglio have combined their skills (and sense of humor) to create something special. While Valeria manages the business side, Albert, a self-proclaimed architecture buff, is ready to make every corner look Instagram-perfect. Talk about a power couple!

Embracing the Bitcoin Community

This hostel isn’t just about beds and breakfasts; it’s about fostering a community. Albert shares that the duo plans to incorporate feedback from Bitcoin aficionados at every stage of the hostel’s development. Think of it as a crowd-sourced dream that ensures every Bitcoin enthusiast feels at home.

• Who doesn’t love a little community input?
• Expect design competitions with the slogan: “The more ‘Hash Power’, the better!”

Raising Funds Cryptically

In a move that screams innovation, the founders opted to follow the advice of Portuguese Bitcoiner Tiago Vasconcelos to raise funds via Tallycoin. Not exactly your standard bake sale! And Vasconcelos insists that a Bitcoin-centric business model is revolutionary and will reshape the entrepreneurial landscape. Who knew donations could be this exciting?

Realizing the Vision: Keeping It Local

While the duo has secured some financing (no, they don’t want to part with their precious coins), they’re diligently searching for the perfect spot in Portugal. With over 1,000 followers buzzing with excitement, it’s evident the Bitcoin community is strongly backing them. Who wouldn’t want to support a hostel where every transaction only flows through Bitcoin?

Looking Ahead

With the architecture competition underway, plans are in motion to break ground by early 2023. If you feel a sudden urge to pack your bags, it might be the magnetic pull of a Bitcoin Hostel. As Albert eloquently puts it, “Bitcoin allows greater freedoms; let’s get started!”
