₿⚒️ Bitcoin Socratic Seminar — In-Person at Adesso SE, Munich
Details
We have the opportunity to host an in-person Socratic Seminar at Adesso SE, Munich, with special guest (or rather, special host) Leo Weese (Lightning Labs).
Purpose is also to gauge interest for this format in Munich.
What's a Socratic Seminar?
tl;dr: an open, moderated discussion on current Bitcoin topics and news, primarily of a technical nature. Papers, issues, and pull requests; new versions of widely used tools; vulnerabilities... General news concerning political or financial aspects is also occasionally discussed.
Questions are always welcome. “I am the wisest man on earth, for I know one thing: that I know nothing.” —Socrates
Please note, however, that the Chatham House Rule generally applies: The focus is on content, not individuals. Feel free to report on *what* was discussed, but not *who* said what, when, or how.
