Is our money broken? Can Bitcoin fix it?
Join Kees as he races through the technology, economics, and uncertainties surrounding Bitcoin. From self-sovereignty to stock-to-flow, from Gresham to quantum resilience: expect powerful insights, thought-provoking theorems, and graphs that will make your mind race! Is Bitcoin (good) money? Polluting? For criminals? Or will there come a time when everyone will "get Bitcoin," regardless of "the price"?
Practical: "You get Bitcoin, and You get Bitcoin, Everybody gets Bitcoin": We're not just talking theory! Kees will be running his own Lightning node live, with which he will gift Bitcoin to a few lucky audience members – so you'll experience in seconds how value flashes through the room without banks or borders. Do you dare to challenge your old money dogmas? Come, ask questions, and afterward, head to lunch with potentially some Bitcoin in your pocket and a head full of new ideas.
