Intro to Bitcoin is BACK!

On August 29th, Laura Lopez is coming back to CRASH Space to give another introductory-level class on Bitcoin! Our first class was such a hit, we’ve asked Laura to return to teach more of us about how Bitcoin works, and how to get started. Bitcoin technology adoption is rapidly expanding in the tech and finance sectors, but the average person still has many questions about how it works and why one would want to use it. Come join Laura and CRASH Space to learn how it works. You’ll leave with a basic understanding of bitcoin, as well as a small amount of ready-to-spend bitcoin of your own to help you get started!

This class will cover the following areas: What is Bitcoin? Why would you want to use it? How can you trust the network? Wallet creation and safeguarding Sending and receiving bitcoin with your Android or iOS mobile device A brief overview on the history of currency, and how it has changed over time Discussion of the social implications of the cryptocurrency asset class WHEN: August 29th, 2:00pm-3:30pm WHERE: CRASH Space WHO: Open to the Public! HOW MUCH: FREE! WHAT TO BRING: An Android or iOS device, and questions about bitcoin! QUESTIONS: Michelle Leonhart at michelle at tinwhiskers dot net. There is no need to RSVP.
