Insights for makers
This is not a type of thing for people who want to buy or mine Bitcoin or get-rich-quick.
This is a conference for makers and engineers, who want to learn more about the revolution in the way money is created, controlled and distributed, and participate in it.
Agenda
10:30 — Registration
11:00 — The evolution of money
In this introductory session we will provide context for the day. We’ll go through the history of money and generally the way we create, store and transfer value in society, with an emphasis of how technology is increasingly shaping finance since the advent of the computer age up until today.
Presented by Stefan Pajković.
11:30 — Digital Scarcity
Bitcoin’s scarcity, the underlying driver of money’s store of value property is guaranteed by (1) the irreversibility of a cryptographic hash function and (2) the distributed state of the system. We’ll go once more through what that actually means and repeat the mechanics of proof-of-work (Nakamoto consensus) which lies in the heart of it. Then we’ll take a birds-eye view of conventional deposit money (bankmoney) and ask ourselves: “Is there at least something good about it?”
Presented by Danilo Backović.
12:00 — Engineering money flows
In this session we will walk through online payment flows and all the moving pieces of the process. We’ll start with several standard flows of processing fiat currencies, such as cards and alternative payment methods, and contrast it against some popular crypto implementations, in an effort to clarify the extent of differences between the two.
