Welcome to the Bitcoin Socratic Seminar hosted by [BitDevs Berlin](https://bitdevs.berlin) at c-base Raumstation Berlin!

As newcomers to c-base Berlin, we're thrilled to be hosting this special event. This seminar focuses on the energy usage of Bitcoin, a topic shrouded in myths and misconceptions. [Stefan Richter](https://twitter.com/stefanwouldgo/) will introduce us to the energy usage of Bitcoin, and during the event, we'll delve into various sources and numbers to gain a deeper understanding of the topic. We'll explore whether Bitcoin is truly wasteful or if it helps promote renewable energy, and whether it exacerbates climate change or acts as a catalyst for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Our aim is to engage in a lively and informative discussion, and we look forward to exploring this topic in detail with you!

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, c-lightning, 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.
