Is Bitcoin Ready for 1B users By 2025? - Core dev. panel + Q&A for Beginners

Once again, Bitcoin Sydney is bringing you the best and the brightest!

Bitcoin Sydney is the premier meetup for Bitcoin content, education and well qualified, knowledgeable speakers.

We're back at Hotel Harry again and we're going to continue our series of panel based open discussions and Q&A events. With all of the newcomers joining this year, this format is intended to be accessible and informative to beginners while still remaining enjoyable for members further advanced in their Bitcoin journey.

🌏 Bitcoin Core developer special - AJ Towns & Michael Ford

What is Bitcoin Core?

Bitcoin Core is an open source project which maintains and releases Bitcoin client software called “Bitcoin Core”.

It is a direct descendant of the original Bitcoin software client released by Satoshi Nakamoto after he published the famous Bitcoin whitepaper.

Come and ask our experts about developments in Bitcoin technology.

Audience participation with live Q & A

Topics of discussion so far suggested:

• What projects AJ and Michael are working on
• What they're hoping to see come into Bitcoin next
• How new ideas can be integrated into Bitcoin without a top down leader
• What it looks like when Bitcoin scales up with far more adoption

BONUS PANEL - LATE ADDITION! DONT MISS THIS IF YOU ARE A NEWCOMER

Due to the current frenzied market - mainly in tokens other than Bitcoin - we will have veterans of the several similar, earlier 'media hype cycles' to let you know what to expect and explain the distinction between Bitcoin and 'other crypto'.

🌏 PANELISTS:

• AJ Towns, Bitcoin Core developer

AJ has been working on various projects within Bitcoin including Taproot review club, pull requests, contributions to anyprevout. He has also worked on Lightning, Bitcoin's 2nd layer network for small payments.
