BitDevs: Learning Bitcoin #14 - Has Bitcoin Core Lost Focus?

Tonight we're learning how Bitcoin works! Atlanta BitDevs meetups are place for free and open Bitcoin education in Atlanta. Discussions will be technical but are open to people of all skill levels. Join the community and #LearnBitcoinTogether!

Tonight's Topic
We are watching a video together tonight! This is a recording of the conference talk "Has Bitcoin Core Lost Focus?" by Adam Jonas from the 2025 MIT Bitcoin Expo. This talk is going to help you better understand how the Bitcoin Core software is maintained. Group discussion after the video.

🎉 Sponsored by C0MPLÉX1 and Delineator

What should I expect?
Every first Wednesday of the month is a Learning Bitcoin session at ATL BitLab. This week's topic will be posted ahead of time at atlbit.dev. Sometimes it may be a reading discussion group, other times it might be a presentation or workshop.

Regardless, you do not need any prior knowledge to attend. Just come with an open mind.

Is this for me?
If you want to learn about bitcoin, then yes! While these sessions are engineering focused, many of our attendees are not engineers. Our crew also includes designers, hobbyists, product managers, entrepreneurs, and simply curious people who like to stay ahead of the curve with this technology.
