Bitcoin Basics

• What we'll do https://www.facebook.com/events/159793197887670/

In January, Bitcoin celebrated its 9 years of existence, and its legacy that money can work completely differently, freely and without state supervision, will probably remain with us. Do you hear about Bitcoin for the first time, or you had no time to get to know it better? - Come to the lecture in Paralelní Polis and let yourself be introduced to its foundations.

Where did Bitcoin come from and how does it work? Why is it a revolutionary invention that is comparable to the importance of the invention of the Internet. What is Bitcoin good for today and what can I expect from it in the future? Where can I buy Bitcoin and where can I use it?

After the introductory lecture there will be time for your questions.

The lecture will be led by Jan Hubík. Jan is a technology enthusiast and a hacker. He has formal education in multiple fields from physics to finance. Since 2013, he is deeply interested in cryptocurrencies and blockchain systems from many points of view - from mining, investment, business use, to impact on society. He earns his living as a crypto-technology consultant and data scientist. Jan is a member of the Paralelni Polis supervisory board, where he focuses on the Institute of Cryptoanarchy. He produces multiple programmes, manages part of the finances and devotes the rest of his free time to spreading the word about cryptoanarchy. More info at LinkedIn: https://cz.linkedin.com/in/hubik
