Welcome to the Bitcoin Socratic Seminar hosted by [BitDevs Berlin](https://bitdevs.berlin) at c-base Raumstation Berlin! There will be Pizza and Beer sponsored by Ordimint.com. 🍻🍕

This time, we will have special guest: [Aaron van Wirdum](https://bitcoinmagazine.com/authors/aaron-van-wirdum). Aaron is a Bitcoin-journalist and has been a key contributor to Bitcoin Magazine, holding various roles including editor-in-chief. He'll give a brief presentation of his latest work ["The Genesis Book"](https://www.amazon.de/Genesis-Book-Projects-Inspired-Bitcoin/dp/B0CQLMQRH7/). It will be followed by a fireside chat and open discussion about the pre-history of Bitcoin and everything that lead to its inception: From Austrian economics to cryptography, from the Cypherpunks to transhumanism, from bit gold to e-gold.

This is a monthly event. Our aim is to foster lively discussions, information sharing, and debates. Weeks before the event, our members gather discussion topics from various sources, including pull requests in popular git repositories such as Bitcoin Core, LND, Core Lightning, LDK, Joinmarket, Elements Alpha, and Electrum, as well as research papers, technical blog posts, IRC logs, network monitors, and more.

During the meeting, members present open source projects, companies, research, and other relevant materials. We conclude with a feedback and Q&A section.
