167 Victoria Street West, Auckland · 16-18 September 2026
Three sessions in Auckland for people buying their first bitcoin, and for people who own some but leave it sitting on an exchange.
Two free sessions
No prior experience needed
One paid workshop
Hands-on self-custody, run by Bitcoin Journey
Bring photo ID
Open and verify a Stacked account at either basics session
Start here
You have read about it for years and never got round to it, or you have never been sure who to trust with the first purchase. Come to a basics session. You will leave understanding what you own, and if you want, with an account open and verified.
Next step
Your bitcoin sits on an exchange and you have never moved it off. Friday is a working session on holding your own keys: receiving, sending, backing up, and recovering it if something goes wrong.
Come to one, or come to all three. The two basics sessions cover the same ground at different times.
Wednesday 16 September
6.00pm · 2 hours · Beginner
The same session as Thursday, in the evening. Pick whichever suits your week - there is no need to come to both.
What it covers
Useful if you would rather come after work than take time out of the day.
Run by Francisco Colombo and Luli, Bitcoin Journey
Thursday 17 September
10.30am · 2 hours · Beginner
The same session as Wednesday, in the morning. Pick whichever suits your week - there is no need to come to both.
What it covers
Useful if a 6pm start does not work, or if a weekday morning suits you better.
Run by Francisco Colombo and Luli, Bitcoin Journey
Friday 18 September
10.00am · 2.5 hours · Intermediate
What it covers
NZ$350
Includes a hardware wallet to take home and NZ$5 of bitcoin to practise with. Bring a laptop.
Booked separately from the free sessions.

Stacked staff will be at both basics sessions to help anyone who wants to open an account do it there and then. Most people who mean to finish it at home never do. Bring photo ID and you can finish it before you leave.
There is a box at checkout to tell us you are bringing ID, which is how we know how many people to staff the desk for. Opening an account is optional, and nobody has to buy anything to attend.
These are reviews of Bitcoin Journey's own workshops in Queenstown, not of Stacked or of this event.
Rated five out of five.I attended the Understanding Bitcoin workshop run by Francisco. I learnt a lot of new information about the technology and how bitcoin works. The free course is very informative and will kick start your bitcoin journey. Highly recommend.
Rated five out of five.A fantastic, easy to follow and understand workshop on Bitcoin basics and more. Francisco was a great knowledgeable host.
Rated five out of five.As someone new to the Bitcoin space, my husband and I recently attended two workshops held by Francisco here in Queenstown. Both sessions were extremely well delivered and packed with valuable insights. The content provided a clear understanding of the fundamentals, including how buying, selling, and self-custody work. A big thank you to Bitcoin Journey for supporting our own learning journey!
Rated five out of five.I attended the understanding bitcoin workshop yesterday and found it incredibly valuable. The session was well-structured, easy to follow, and explained concepts in a way that made a complicated topic much more approachable. Francisco was knowledgeable and engaging, taking the time to answer questions and give real-world examples that made everything click. I walked away with a much clearer understanding of how Bitcoin works, its potential uses, and the risks to be aware of. I'd highly recommend this workshop to anyone who's curious about Bitcoin but doesn't know where to start.

Radical Investment are sponsoring these sessions and hosting them with us.
The two free sessions book in one place. The Friday workshop is a separate booking, linked above. Each session has a set number of seats.
What happens next
Pick a date
Wednesday evening or Thursday morning. They are the same session, so choose whichever suits your week rather than booking both.
Tell us if you are bringing photo ID
One tick at checkout. It tells us how many people to staff the verification desk for, and it commits you to nothing.
The Friday workshop books separately
Wednesday and Thursday are free and book here. The self-custody workshop has its own listing, its own ten places, and its own checkout.
Booking is handled by Humanitix. You can opt in there to hear from Stacked, and separately to hear from Bitcoin Journey.
