Whitepaper Review: Bitcoin

As a follow-up to our "Blockchain 101", we will be doing a deep dive into the Bitcoin whitepaper. We will walk through the key sections with an eye toward understanding and clearing up misconceptions.

There are two overarching questions that we will be looking to answer:

• How closely does the current version of Bitcoin adhere to the vision laid out in this whitepaper?
• What threats, if any, pose a major threat to the long term viability of Bitcoin?

Afterward, we will head over to Smithfield Hall for drinks.

All levels of background and experience are welcome!
