Bitcoin Lightning 101: From UTXOs to Instant Payments
📍 Navi Mumbai
📅 Saturday, July 25
Scaling Bitcoin didn't require making the blockchain faster; it required finding a way to do millions of transactions safely outside of it.
Instead of broadcasting every single transaction to the entire global Bitcoin network, which takes time and costs money, Lightning lets you settle thousands of payments instantly and privately. In this workshop, we will break down the rules, the smart contracts, and the clever game theory that keep this system entirely safe and decentralized, without the jargon.

Topic: Investment Risks - Equities, Bonds & Bitcoin 🧠📊⚡
A quick look at the risks investors take across assets:
• Equities: Business, market, valuation, dilution & liquidity risk
• Bonds: Credit, interest rate, inflation & default risk
• Key idea: Owning a business vs lending to one
• Reality: Stocks can fall even if the company performs well
• Bitcoin: Volatility, custody, regulation, liquidity cycles & adoption risk
• Unique traits: No cash flows, but scarcity, final settlement & no counterparty risk (if self-custodied)
• Goal: Compare how risk differs across equities, bonds, and Bitcoin

The Bitcoin Blocks That Almost Became History
📍 Chennai
📅 Saturday, July 11 | 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Two miners find a block at the same time. For a moment, the network disagrees. Both blocks are valid. Only one survives—the other becomes stale. But stale blocks aren’t just wasted effort. They’re evidence.
We will be joined by Mr. Ram from Localhost a San Francisco based Bitcoin Research Center.
