Bitcoin 101

Everyone is talking about Bitcoin! In November, bitcoin rocketed up near its all-time-high price. If you are new to Bitcoin you probably have been asking yourself questions like:

1. How can Bitcoin work if no one organization is in charge of it?
2. There are lots of apps and software out there for holding and transferring bitcoin, what exactly do they do? What are some good beginner friendly tools I can use?
3. My friend is trying to get me to buy into something called WaffleCoin promising a huge return; what's the deal and should I buy it?

Join cryptocurrency entrepreneur, educator, and BOB organizer Hannah Rosenberg for an introduction to the wonderful world of Bitcoin. She will cover

• Basic technology concepts
• Wallet software
• Pitfalls and danger zones
• Where to learn more

The presentation will be followed by a Q&A. You can also tweet your questions to @BOBmeetupCHI ahead of the event.
