Geekettes Workshop: Cryptocurrency basics for the real world

As it's the Christmas month we have something special planned for you!! Not our regular drinks meetup, but a brilliant workshop by Terry Seal, Corporate Development Officer at Authoreon.io! Please sign up for the event through Eventbrite (geekettes.eventbrite.com), as we'll only have limited space :-)

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
Want to start investing in crypto, but don’t know where to start? Or simply want to understand enough about the blockchain and crypto to talk about it at your company’s holiday party?

Then join us at Erika-Mann-Str. 63 for a workshop on Crypto basics for real people. Get to know your fellow Geekettes during this hands-on session over eats and drinks in the event space generously provided by jambit GmbH.
To register for the workshop we kindly ask you to sign up through Eventbrite. Thanks! -> https://www.eventbrite.com/e/geekettes-workshop-cryptocurrency-basics-for-the-real-world-tickets-53091811036

You’re encouraged to bring your laptop so that you can create bookmarks and start setting up a soft wallet during the session.

Our aim for the evening is to give you information on blockchain and cryptocurrencies that you can use in real life. From Bitcoin to sh*tcoins, after this session you will know where to start should you choose to invest in crypto or start working with the blockchain.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
The basics:
What is the Blockchain?
Proof of what?
What are crypto currencies?
How and why was Bitcoin created?
