Software engineers have an astounding opportunity to benefit from programmable money: now we can program directly with value, introducing the objectivity, auditability, and neutrality of Open Source Code, instead of the opaqueness, ambiguities, biases, and other issues of conventional monetary processes.

Bitcoin is arguably the simplest of all cryptocurrencies, giving us a real opportunity to learn it at this conference. We’ll show examples of money programmability to demonstrate what is truly possible…

In this session, we will leverage our skill as programmers by describing Bitcoin's design as a Software Engineering project, using the white paper as the primary source material with the updates running today ("SegWit", "Taproot", Schnorr Signatures…), aiming to acquire an intuitive understanding of its programming language, Bitcoin Script. Wednesday, you’ll have the opportunity to see the details of Bitcoin Script at Kris Jusiak’s presentation, and on Thursday, we’ll discuss higher abstraction level protocols such as Lightning.

In Kris Jusiak’s presentation, Bitcoin Script: Implementation Details and Use Cases, scheduled for Wednesday, he will present the details which make programmable money possible.

In Eduardo Madrid’s presentation, Role Playing Bitcoin Protocols Including the Lightning Network, scheduled for Thursday, with just an intuitive understanding of Bitcoin Script he will describe the higher abstraction level protocols, such as the Lightning Network.

Join us on Friday for a panel in which Eduardo, Jon, and Kris will answer Bitcoin questions.
