Max Hillebrand on leading an unbanked life & developing Bitcoin Privacy Weapons

Max is an open source entrepreneur and developer working on Wasabi, Nodl, Cold Card and other privacy-enhancing Bitcoin projects. In this 40-minute session he will tell us:

• How he has been living on Bitcoin and no bank account since 2019

• Why and how to use Wasabi CoinJoin to improve the privacy of our Bitcoin transactions and holdings. Every on-chain Bitcoin transaction is logged on the Blockchain forever. Whenever you pay someone they can take a guess at how many Bitcoins you own and at your transaction patterns. CoinJoin is a technology that obfuscates the link between transactions and between you & your transactions.

• Upcoming Bitcoin technologies that will improve privacy

The entire session will be held in English and meetup participants are encouraged to ask questions on https://app.sli.do/event/wws3ueph/live/questions in Greek or English for Max to answer. The live video will show up on our Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/c/GreekBlockchain The event will be at 8pm Athens time, 7pm Berlin, 6pm London, 1pm New York City.
