Bitcoin 1x1 auf Deutsch; plus (English:) Value Investing, HD Wallets, and more

Auf vielfachen Wunsch starten wir diesmal mit einer deutschen Einführung in das Große Bitcoin 1x1 (https://bitcoin1x1.de/)!

The rest of the evening will be English. We have quite a full program this time.

Die deutsche Einführung beginnt bereits um 18:30 Uhr!

Es geht das Gerücht um, dass viele Interessierte gar nicht wirklich verstehen wollen, wie Bitcoin funktioniert, oder?

Nun ja, unsere Gruppe hat allerdings durchaus viele Anfragen, mal wieder einen Einführungsvortrag speziell auf deutsch anzubieten. Diesem Wunsch kommen wir diesmal gerne nach!

After the German introduction we will learn about Value Investing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_investing) in context of Crypto Assets.

We'll also take a critical look at Smart Contracts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_contract).

Then we will learn about HD Wallets (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Deterministic_wallet) and the implementation thereof at blockkeeper.io (https://blockkeeper.io/) who are just launching these days!

And of course we'll also d̶i̶s̶c̶u̶s̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶u̶p̶c̶o̶m̶i̶n̶g (UPDATE after recent events:) retrospect the chaos around SegWit2x, discuss BitcoinCash, fork-onomics, and (non-)governance in Bitcoin.

Target Audience: Everyone. Das 1x1 richtet sich an Einsteiger. The next talks about Smart Contracts and the investment aspects should be accessible to newcomers as well. As the evening progresses, we'll get more specific about certain technical aspects of blockchains and Bitcoin for those who already have acquired some familiarity.
