Jon will share the Bitcoin “origin story,” which is the story of the Cypherpunks and the solution to the Byzantine Generals Problem. He will discuss several real-world problems that the Cypherpunks solved using cryptography, leading up to the development of Bitcoin.

Jon will also cover the three most important use cases of the Bitcoin protocol. The first two use cases, Store of Value and Medium of Exchange, are well-known, but have other, non-Bitcoin solutions. The third use case, Native Internet Money, has a unique solution of great interest to software engineers, particularly in the age of AI.
