WHAT IS
BITCOIN CENTER?
Bitcoin Center NYC is dedicated to promoting Bitcoin, educating the public, and hosting the local Bitcoin community. In other words, we are THE place for Bitcoin! We have a strong following in the New York Bitcoin community and our events often feature and are attended by prominent figures in the Bitcoin world. But this is not enough. We will not rest until every man, woman, and child has a Bitcoin wallet and is transacting in Bitcoin! Founded by Nick Spanos, an accomplished entrepreneur who cut his teeth in real estate, Bitcoin Center NYC first opened with a kick-off New Year’s Eve party on December 31st 2013. More than ten years later, we are still the premier name in Bitcoin in NYC. Located at 2307 Broadway in Manhattan, we’ve created a place where people can walk in and learn about Bitcoin at any time.
