The Bitcoin community's location-based social network β formerly Orange Pill App, now connecting 19,000+ Bitcoiners in 71 countries
Club Orange (formerly Orange Pill App) is a subscription-based, location-aware social network built exclusively for the Bitcoin community. It lets Bitcoiners find each other nearby, discover Bitcoin-only events, locate merchants that accept Bitcoin, and send sats via a built-in Lightning Network wallet. Think of it as a mix between Meetup, LinkedIn, and a Lightning wallet β all filtered exclusively for Bitcoiners.
Originally launched as Orange Pill App, the platform rebranded to Club Orange β keeping its core mission intact: connecting Bitcoiners everywhere they are. The name change reflects a maturing brand positioning, moving from the "red pill" meme culture of the early Bitcoin era toward a more inclusive, community-forward identity. The app is developed by Orange Pill App Inc., and is available on iOS, Android, APK (direct install), and via a web app at web.cluborange.org.

Core features across Club Orange as of 2026
Club Orange is a paid, subscription-based platform β a deliberate design choice to keep bots and spam out and ensure every member is a genuine Bitcoiner. Membership starts at $3.99/month or $40/year (roughly $3.33/month). Members can also pay in sats (Bitcoin's smallest unit), which is a fitting option for the audience. Merchants get all standard member perks plus a business listing on the Bitcoin map, making it easier for locals to find and visit Bitcoin-friendly shops. There is no free tier β the paywall is the product's anti-spam mechanism.
Unlike most social apps that bolt on payments as an afterthought, Club Orange's Lightning Network wallet is a first-class feature. It supports:
