Join us at **Skill Studio** for a special session the night before **Bitcoin Whitepaper Day**, as we explore what it really means to run a **Bitcoin node** — the beating heart of the Bitcoin network.

This session is **non-technical and beginner-friendly**, designed for anyone curious about how Bitcoin works, why decentralisation matters, and what it takes to run your own node at home.

Our speaker, **Crypto Marxist** — one of Canberra Blockchain’s community members and a long-time node operator — will share real-world insights from running a Bitcoin node: what worked, what didn’t, and why it’s one of the most empowering things you can do in Bitcoin.

### **We’ll cover:**

* What Bitcoin is and how it really works
* Why you should (or shouldn’t) run your own node
* Hardware and software setup options (Raspberry Pi, desktop, VPS, etc.)
* The **Bitcoin Core vs Knots** debate
* How nodes uphold privacy, sovereignty, and trustless verification

To celebrate Bitcoin’s origins, we’ll also run a **Free Bitcoin Raffle** for attendees who register and come along.
📍 **Skill Studio, Civic Square Hub, North Building, 180 London Circuit, Canberra City**
🗓️ **Wednesday\, 30 October 2025 \| 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM**
🎟️ **Free entry \| RSVP required**
🍺 Drinks available \| 🎁 Free Bitcoin raffle for attendees
Come for the conversation, stay for the community — and be part of Canberra’s growing open-tech movement.
**Learn. Build. Innovate. Together.**
