Bitcoin is a technology that is changing how people think about money and ownership, and this is a chance to understand exactly how it works.
Bitcoin Journey run this introduction in a clear and engaging way. It is open to all ages and assumes no prior knowledge. You do not need to bring a laptop, and you do not need to own any bitcoin.
What it covers:
- What bitcoin is and how it works
- Why bitcoin represents a genuine shift, not just another app
- How people actually use it, with real examples
- The difference between bitcoin and other digital currencies
- A live demonstration of a bitcoin transaction
This is an interactive session. Your questions, reflections and participation are not just welcome, they are the point.
Stacked, the host, is a New Zealand bitcoin platform. There is no obligation to buy anything or open an account, and the session is focused on education and hands-on learning. Bring photo ID only if you would like to use the optional help desk during the session.
