Vadodara Meetup #4 (12th June 2026) Topic: Decoding Consensus, How Bitcoin Actually Upgrades ✅ A few hours spent studying BIPs, consensus, nodes, and the mechanics behind Bitcoin's evolution. Thank you to everyone who joined the discussion. Vadodara Meetup #5 coming soon.
From code to consensus, we unpacked Bitcoin mining from the ground up ⚡ Transactions → nodes → mempool → candidate blocks → hash functions → Merkle trees → mining → propagation → Nakamoto consensus. We explored hash rate, difficulty, rewards (subsidy + fees), halving, pools, ASICs, and the real scale of mining today—plus the big question: does it waste electricity? Wrapped with brief about Bitshala and the core problem Bitcoin solves. 📍 Vashi, Navi Mumbai 📅 June 13 Follow us to get updates on the next meetups 👋

The Architecture of Digital Scarcity: Why Bitcoin is True Internet Money 📍 Pune 📅 Saturday, June 27 For years, digital money failed because it could be copied, forcing systems to rely on central authorities to prevent double spending. Bitcoin solved this by removing the middleman. It uses a decentralized network and economic incentives to keep transactions secure and honest, enabling truly uncopyable digital money. ​Systems don't survive by being complex; they survive because their rules are mathematically and economically impossible to break. Come find out how. 📌 Register at:
