Start in Florence (IT) at Palazzo Medici Riccardi: January 3rd

Finish in Frankfurt (DE) at ECB: January 12th

It was a 1000 km bike ride with 10,000 meters of altitude with luggage in 10 days in unpredictable cold weather conditions through the Alps. Besides the sportive challenge Vitus' goal was to pay every the night’s stay stays in a hotel with bitcoin. Upon arrival in each destination town, Vitus therefore needed to go from hotel to hotel and try to convince a hotel owner to let him stay a night in return for bitcoin. The final result out of nine nights was: Bitcoin 7:2 Euro. Additionally Vitus was able to pay every Hotel stay paid in bitcoin with donations from fellow bitcoiners.

Prior to starting Vitus published a [http://www.starwings.io/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/tour_de_satoshi_one_pager.pdf one pager] about Tour de Satoshi and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDytNzo5goM announced] it at a bitcoin meetup in Munich. One day before the start of Tour de Satoshi, while Vitus sitting in the train to Florence, he published a story on [https://medium.com/@vitus.zeller/why-am-i-on-the-way-to-do-a-winter-bike-tour-from-florence-to-frankfurt-b5b9910e026e why he is doing this bike tour].
