Bitcoin and blockchain technology are coming, but many people who are curious about it are overwhelmed and intimidated by its technical nature. We'll explain it clearly and make it accessible to everyone. We’ll take the time to answer questions to get you thinking about how to use bitcoin yourself, and clarify how blockchain tech is going to start showing up in your lives via banking, legal issues, in your Internet of Things home devices, etc. By the end of the workshop we can have you signed up with your own bitcoin wallet and send you your 1st satoshi or microtip.
