Confessions of a Bitcoin Maximalist

Hello folks. It’s been a while.

We're coming up with a new structure for the meetup.

Taking into consideration all the feedback we got the meetup will have a new structure.
There will be a presentation at the beginning, followed by Q&A and networking after for each meetup. In the future we might even have some interesting guests. The meetup will be biweekly.

The signal to noise ratio is very low in Crypto space. Everyone calls themselves an expert but no one knows what they are talking about.
And nothing is what it seems to be.
Every one is always selling something, but there is nothing there. ‘The emperor has no clothes.’

When everyone is selling you their own printed money and comes with all these huge promises, we take the other side of the coin.
We want to clarify why you can’t put everything on ‘the Blockchain’ and why Bitcoin works.

We don’t like to share opinions, we want to discuss facts.
And we would like to share with you the most important lesson we learned from being Bitcoiners.
Always be skeptical and don’t trust people just because they look confident or wear a suit when they are saying something.

Also we will talk about what really makes money and how there are just a few types of business models that make sense in the current state of things.

Presentation subjects:

• What exactly is a Blockchain?
• Why it doesn't make any sense to have any other coin than Bitcoin?
• What problem it solves and how, with that solution, there will come a high cost.
• EVERYBODY is wrong.
• Arbitrage vs. trading in Emerging markets
• What actually makes money in the space?
