This is our in-depth, no-nonsense seminar series Satoshi's 21, which will take place every 21st of a month in various different locations (hackspace, co-working space, conference room, or similar), or online if circumstances so require.
We'll have one or more selected topics concerning Bitcoin's technology, security, ongoing software development, business opportunities and challenges, economics, monetary theory, or its societal and political impact. Some preparation work might be required from participants in order to make the most out of the seminar.
Satoshi's 21 stands for:
- Every 21st of a month so that weekdays rotate
- 21 participants is the targeted and ideal working group size, but we could be more, we could be fewer
- And of course: honoring Bitcoin's monetary supply of 21 hundred trillion sats!

Also we'll discuss current news and the latest hot topics in research and development.
We're trying this as a real-life meeting again, open-air in a park (Englischer Garten), as the weather forecast predicts the comeback of summer after all.
There won't be any beamer or screen, so bring your mobile device with the battery well-loaded if you want to follow along the material being shared!
What else to bring: Food and drinks if you want, suitable clothing, and a blanket to sit on is recommended

₿🛠️ Satoshi's 21 #015: The Austrian School & the Political Economics of Bitcoin
https://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-Munich/events/278321861/
https://twitter.com/bitcoinmuc/status/1403040167078809601
Bitcoin is a deflationary money, and deflation is bad for the economy, so Bitcoin wouldn't work as a currency. Is this really the case? We'll discuss this and related topics like the radical unregulated free market and praxeology with Rahim Taghizadegan.
"The political economics of Bitcoin – the Austrian School, the financial system, capitalism and crypto-socialism"
Rahim Taghizadegan is the last Austrian economist of the Austrian School in the direct tradition and has been teaching at universities in Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, and Germany.
As one of the last Viennese polymaths, he is also a physicist (specialization in nuclear physics and complex systems), philosopher, investor and entrepreneur.
He has written more than a dozen books (like Austrian School for Investors and The Zero Interest Trap), some of them best-sellers, and is the founder of the scholarium in Vienna, where the Austrian School is kept alive in its original interdisciplinary form of the Hayek- and Mises-Circles.
Rahim Taghizadegan was one of the first academic economists to understand and analyze the monetary nature of Bitcoin. Today, he heads the Free Private Cities Foundation, which is making Bitcoin Citadels a reality.

We'll have one or more selected topics concerning Bitcoin's technology, security, ongoing software development, business opportunities and challenges, economics, monetary theory, or its societal and political impact. Some preparation work might be required from participants in order to make the most out of the seminar.
Satoshi's 21 stands for:
- Every 21st of a month so that weekdays rotate
- 21 participants is the targeted and ideal working group size, but we could be more, we could be fewer
- And of course: honoring Bitcoin's monetary supply of 21 hundred trillion sats!

₿🛠️ Satoshi's 21 #014: netpositive.money 🌳
https://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-Munich/events/276646227/
https://twitter.com/bitcoinmuc/status/1393938066335834119
The debate around the Bitcoin network's use of energy and its CO₂ emissions has been _cooking up_ since recently once again. What's all the energy used for, is Proof-of-Work mining really necessary, and how can Bitcoin be made more "efficient"? We'll briefly cover the basics, before we'll be looking at some of the key points of the debate from all sides, trying to steelman the arguments, and probably there'll also be some meta-discourse.
And in particular we're going to look at the netpositive.money project.
> netpositive.money is an initiative by bitcoiners who want to contribute to climate change solutions. Our goal is to make Bitcoin a net positive money.

₿🛠️ Satoshi's 21 #013: RGB Smart Contracts - From Assets to Digital Identities
https://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-Munich/events/276047859/
https://twitter.com/bitcoinmuc/status/1380159065821691924
This time, Olga Ukolova and others will show us the latest developments in the LNP/BP (Lightning Network Protocol / Bitcoin Protocol) stack and especially RGB, the concept which started as Colored Coins aka tokens "on Lightning" and grew into a privacy-preserving smart contracts & bearer rights system.
She will explain the basics of the technology, give a demonstration of MyCitadel - the first RGB-enabled wallet, and the asset issuance tool Bitcoin Pro. We will also scratch technical details.
Though started as a simple idea of having tokens on Lightning, RGB has developed into a system that covers many more use cases, while still benefiting the Bitcoin ecosystem.
From the technological perspective, RGB is highly robust & modular at the same time, it does not ‘pollute’ the Bitcoin timechain with unnecessary data, adds privacy and scalability even more than Lightning does, while being ready for upcoming improvements like Simplicity and Taproot.
From the user perspective, it covers many real-life use cases, from creating stablecoins like Tether, issuing company shares on Bitcoin, to proving the ownership rights over a collectible (aka ‘NFT’) or even create and manage your Digital Identity.

₿🛠️ Satoshi's 21 #012: Consensus, Cryptoeconomics, Threat Models 🔥
https://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-Munich/events/276047855/
https://twitter.com/bitcoinmuc/status/1371148986359422979
We'll be joined by Bob McElrath, Eric Voskuil, and others to discuss some "moonshot" ways in which Bitcoin could be improved, that is aside from what's on the foreseeable roadmap of its developer community.
It is often purported that Bitcoin has a lot of shortcomings especially in regards to scalability, while many other projects in the larger "crypto" space allegedly offer a lot of innovation.
Bitcoin development may be very cautious and slow in moving forward to preserve backward compatibility, but if a vastly better protocol design could be found and agreed upon, the UTXO set (the "state" who currently owns what money) could be imported into the new system.
Sharding, (Hybrid) Proof-of-Stake, DAGs, ZK-Rollups,... — what do these approaches bring to the table, and which of them could make sense for Bitcoin eventually, considering
- what their tradeoffs are,
- what Bitcoin is trying to achieve,
- the threat model against which Bitcoin is designed?
Which of these designs have previously been debated, and outrightly rejected, or indefintiely postponed, and for what reasons?

https://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-Munich/events/276350416/
https://twitter.com/bitcoinmuc/status/1367487584423866376
Diesmal gibt's ein deutschsprachiges Bitcoin-1x1 für euch, wenn ihr neu seid, oder für eure Familie und Freunde. Die bildende Künstlerin und langjährige Bitcoin-Kaninchenbau-Erforscherin Sina Wagner aus München hat ihre neue Präsentation schon öfter für ihr Umfeld gehalten und tut das nun auch Rahmen unserer Meetup-Gruppe.
- https://twitter.com/bit_sina
- https://sinawagner.com/
„Die Fragen von Freunden & Familie häufen sich, der Preis steigt wieder und damit das Interesse. Diejenigen die damals desinteressiert meine Insta-Storys blockiert haben, folgen mir doch wieder und fragen vorsichtig nach, was es denn damit auf sich hat.
Um nicht ständig von vorne beginnen zu müssen und weil es sich nicht so leicht in zwei Sätzen erklären lässt, um was für ein Phänomen es sich da handelt, habe ich eine Präsentation vorbereitet.
Ich komme nicht aus der Welt der Wirtschaft, kann auch nicht programmieren (noch nicht), sondern habe Kunst studiert und kann mittlerweile kaum noch an etwas anderes denken als an Bitcoin.
Das Thema ist so komplex und allumfassend und faszinierend, dass ich nicht aufhören kann, immer mehr darüber zu lernen. Jeder Aspekt wäre für sich einen Vortrag wert, doch versuche ich für Einsteiger einen groben Überblick zusammenzustellen, um die Tragweite dieser Erfindung zu vermitteln.
Was ist Geld, wie läuft unser bisheriges Finanzsystem, wie funktioniert Bitcoin, wieviel ist Bitcoin wert, wie könnte es weiter gehen, usw.
Ich habe nie besonders gerne Vorträge gehalten... aber Bitcoin erscheint mir zu wichtig, nicht allen davon zu erzählen.
“
Mehr Info folgt, Änderungen vorbehalten.
Format: Präsentation und Diskussion

₿🛠️ Satoshi's 21 #011: Mining Basics + Stratum V2 ⛏️
https://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-Munich/events/275033463/
https://twitter.com/bitcoinmuc/status/1360964334072004611
This time we'll be joined by Daniela Brozzoni for a session about Bitcoin mining. There'll be two parts: First we'll learn about or recap some mining basics, with the opportunity for some discussions. After a little break we'll take a more detailed look into the Stratum V2 protocol which is hoped to achieve better decentralization.
Presenters and notable participants this time include:
Daniela Brozzoni, developer at Braiins / Slush Pool
- https://twitter.com/danielabrozzoni
You?
- This is an interactive event, contact us if you want to contribute and be added to this list!
Material: We'll share some recommended material a few days before the event in the comment section below
Format: Presentation + Discussion/Socratic
Language: English
Target Audience: First part is suited for newcomers, second part will be for more advanced Bitcoin followers, but may also be interesting for a more general audience with strong background in distributed systems and network protocols.
Streaming/Recording: Yes
Location: Online. As a YouTube stream, or you can join via Jitsi Meet (ordinary video conferencing functionality; easier) or via the Mozilla Hubs (VR environment; more possibilities of interaction) (we'll connect these platforms with each other). Both are Free and Open Source Software, non-profit, respect and preserve your privacy, don't collect any unnecessary data, don't require any login/registration, and simply run in your web browser without any downloads.
- Jitsi Meet on FreifunkMUC: https://ffmuc.net/wiki/doku.php?id=knb:meet-en
- Mozilla Hubs: https://hubs.mozilla.com/
How to find us: We'll share further instructions and the exact access links one hour before we start in the comment section below (this should also trigger a reminder mail).
Timetable:
(19:00 Announcement of the link to the conference call, resp. the name of the server and room, and the link to the YouTube stream.)
20:00 Rolling start, chime in, say hello, introduce yourself off-the-record if you want to, organizational stuff
20:15 Livestream starts, optional on-the-record introductions, start of the seminar
22:00 (roughly) Wrap-up time, Livestream ends, optional break-out sessions
About Satoshi's 21:
This is our in-depth, no-nonsense seminar series Satoshi's 21, which will take place every 21st of a month in various different locations (hackspace, co-working space, conference room, or similar), or online if circumstances so require.
We'll have one or more selected topics concerning Bitcoin's technology, security, ongoing software development, business opportunities and challenges, economics, monetary theory, or its societal and political impact. Some preparation work might be required from participants in order to make the most out of the seminar.
Satoshi's 21 stands for:
- Every 21st of a month so that weekdays rotate
- 21 participants is the targeted and ideal working group size, but we could be more, we could be fewer
- And of course: honoring Bitcoin's monetary supply of 21 hundred trillion sats!

https://twitter.com/bitcoinmuc/status/1357317940715139073
Zu unserem diesmal deutschsprachigen Online-Event begrüßen wir The Coinspondent aka Friedemann Brenneis, Blogger, Journalist und langjähriger Bitcoin-Berichterstatter u.a. mit dem Honigdachs-Podcast aus Leipzig. Wenn ihr ausnahmsweise mal auf einen kompetenten Artikel über Bitcoin in den Leitmedien hierzulande trefft, dann stammt der sehr wahrscheinlich von ihm.

Er wird eine Präsentation über die Zukunft des Geldes halten und über seine Feststellung, dass es kaum Visionen gibt, wie eine solche Zukunft aussehen könnte, da diese Frage in der Science Fiction oft ausgespart wird.
In diesem Zusammenhang hat er einen Schreibwettbewerb mit Preisgeld ins Leben gerufen, an dem ihr euch als ambitionierte Schriftsteller versuchen dürft!

₿🛠️ Bitcoin at the remote Chaos Communication Congress 2020
https://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-Munich/events/275036476/
https://twitter.com/bitcoinmuc/status/1341859258359558144
The annual Chaos Communication Congress, organized by the Chaos Computer Club and other volunteers, is one of the largest hacker conferences in the world, peaking at around 17,000 visitors last year.
Not only are there great talks and lectures on the main stages, what makes the event especially alive are the hackerspaces and other communities who build so-called "assemblies". This is where they present what they're tinkering on, collaborate, offer workshops, and much more.
The "402 Payment Required" aka Bitcoin assembly is present each year as well.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_Communication_Congress
- https://events.ccc.de/
This year of course, everything's different, but the "remote Chaos Experience" ("rC3") enables us to reach out for an audience here on the meetup platform as well.
The tickets (this year for free, or for a donation) are currently (again) "sold out" (December 15th), but the contingent might get stocked up (again) if infrastructure scaling can further be improved.
Video streams of the main talks don't require a ticket, and a lot of online workshops and sessions won't require one either. The tickets are largely only necessary to join the multiplayer-game-like 2D environment that connects all the different virtual locations like the main stages and assemblies in a visual way.
RSVP here on meetup if you want to let people know you'll be around, or to receive notifications about Bitcoin-related sessions that you might be interested in and want to join. We'll post the ones we organize ourselves as well as additional selected picks and how to join them in the comment section below in time for each day.
There'll be technical workshops, likely also discussions and debates about societal aspects and the "difficult" sides of Bitcoin, and probably hang-out sessions where we'll watch relevant talks from the main stages and comment on them from a Bitcoiner's perspective.
A virtual version of the traditional "Bitcoin sofa" will be present as well where you can hang out and chat with us about anything. It is usually staffed each day from noon until late at night.
Part of the program will double as a Lightning Hacksprint.
- https://wiki.fulmo.org/wiki/Lightning_HackSprint_December_2020
When: Sunday 27th December to Wednesday 30th December, noon until late at night each day
Format: Many presentations, workshops, sessions, and opportunities to just hang out too
Language: Bitcoin-related workshops will almost exclusively be in English, maybe some occasional German session. Sofa chat might sometimes be in German. (The main stages have many German talks.)
Target Audience: Mostly technical and advanced, depending on the session. The virtual sofa can be approached by newcomers, but it might be assumed you have a hacker/tech background.
Streaming/Recording: tbd/tba/depending (Main stages will be streamed of course.)
Location: Online, various Free and Open Source video conferencing tools and other environments hosted non-commercially, respecting and preserving privacy.
More info tba

Nächstes Treffen: Montag, 21. Dezember 2020, 20:00 Uhr
₿🛠️ Satoshi's 21 #009: Financial Cancel Culture ❌
https://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-Munich/events/273866737/
https://twitter.com/bitcoinmuc/status/1330871044681371653
This time we'll be joined by "that one privacy girl" and journalist Janine Römer. It's almost holiday season and thus perhaps a good point in time to remember and reflect that Bitcoin is less an invention about eCommerce, but rather one about personal autonomy and sovereignty in financial and other affairs.
The focus of the discussion will be financial censorship: how and why people are being "cancelled" from having bank accounts, often without due process or allegations of illegality, and whether Bitcoin may be of help. We will also discuss resisting regulatory capture, the emergence of "blockchain analysis" aka blockchain *surveillance* companies, and much more.
Furthermore, Know-Your-Customer (KYC) and even Anti-Money-Laundering (AML) rules seem to be extended more and more to the general tech sector and other sectors as well. Not only does this paint a bleak picture for the future of the right to privacy and free speech; the compliance requirements also increase operating cost, perhaps prohibitively for smaller enterprises to remain competitive.

₿🛠️ Satoshi's 21 #009: Financial Cancel Culture ❌
https://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-Munich/events/273866737/
https://twitter.com/bitcoinmuc/status/1330871044681371653
This time we'll be joined by "that one privacy girl" and journalist Janine Römer. It's almost holiday season and thus perhaps a good point in time to remember and reflect that Bitcoin is less an invention about eCommerce, but rather one about personal autonomy and sovereignty in financial and other affairs.
The focus of the discussion will be financial censorship: how and why people are being "cancelled" from having bank accounts, often without due process or allegations of illegality, and whether Bitcoin may be of help. We will also discuss resisting regulatory capture, the emergence of "blockchain analysis" aka blockchain *surveillance* companies, and much more.
Furthermore, Know-Your-Customer (KYC) and even Anti-Money-Laundering (AML) rules seem to be extended more and more to the general tech sector and other sectors as well.

₿🛠️ Satoshi's 21 #007: Bitcoin Core PR Review Club 🧐
https://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-Munich/events/272514618/
https://twitter.com/bitcoinmuc/status/1315683185016045570
Bitcoin Core contributor and Chaincode Residency Alumni Fabian Jahr and others will join us this time. We get will get a short introduction to the Bitcoin Core PR Review Club and accompany a live session.
What is the Bitcoin Core PR Review Club?
Every Wednesday at 7 pm German time, part of the global Bitcoin research and developer community comes together on IRC (Internet Relay Chat) for one hour. Following an agenda posted a few days prior, the participants review PRs (pull requests, that is proposed code updates) to Bitcoin Core, the reference implementation of Bitcoin.
These proposed code updates have to be evaluated if they are conceptually and technologically sound, and if they satisfy the necessary quality standards.
- https://bitcoincore.reviews/
- https://twitter.com/BitcoinCorePRs
We will watch the chat session in our video call, and we will try to provide commentary, more general explanations and more context to the current topics being discussed. We'll also have time for more questions and answers afterwards.

₿🛠️ Satoshi's 21 #006: Money Printing 💸
https://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-Munich/events/271827507/
https://twitter.com/bitcoinmuc/status/1306194800434176000
It's almost a cliché that we think Bitcoin is great because central banks print too much money, but what does that really mean? Is it true, is it really that bad, and how does this process actually work?
Stefanie von Jan will walk us through this process much more in-depth than the usual "Stammtisch" level, and give insights if and how Bitcoin can help protect the individual's self-sovereignty.
Stefanie holds lectures and seminars about monetary and economics related topics at German universities and is an advocate for Austrian Economics and safe, beneficial technologies.
- https://twitter.com/stefanievjan
Title of the talk: On the crossroads between serfdom and freedom - how the monopoly of money creation out of thin air in the fiat system comes with financial enslavement
Abstract:
In the beginning, we briefly discuss whether we are going into a (Hyper-)inflation, Deflation or Stagflation. In the main part, we discuss the underlying reason for (Hyper-)inflation, namely the extension of the money supply and its mechanisms.
It is much easier to understand this concept by first going back in time to the gold standard and seeing how banking worked in a non-fraudulent and a fraudulent gold standard system. The fraudulent banking system has become the norm and eventually the backing of money by gold was completely discarded as it has become clear that more money was created than it was backed with gold.
Now the creation of new money by banks and central banks escalated which is performed during two processes namely 1) by credit issuance and 2) by purchasing assets (as in Quantitative Easing). This is done through an „accounting trick“ which is illustrated in the talk.
When comparing Bitcoin with the current fiat system, it becomes clear that a monetary system may serve as a means of control or as a means to achieve freedom. Bitcoin is an antithesis to the fiat system and enables financial sovereignty to preserve individual freedom.
Finally, we discuss how to best prepare for the upcoming chaos when the unsustainable fiat system falls.

We finally have the opportunity to also look into other than technological topics today, as intended with this series.
Ben Arc and others will join us, and we'll dive into some political and economic theory, which may become very practical and relevant in the coming decades. Many expect that the success of Bitcoin will lead to profound changes about how society operates.
Notable participants today include:

₿🛠️ Satoshi's 21 #004: Taproot 🥕
https://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-Munich/events/271290157/
https://twitter.com/bitcoinmuc/status/1283838309983236096
Taproot is the name for a set of updates that will soon be activated in Bitcoin via a soft-fork.
Among other things and for a start, these updates will improve privacy and on-chain capacity by providing ways such that the available block space can be used more efficiently. Scripts can be more compact and reveal less information, and (with later additional updates) the inputs and outputs of transactions can be aggregated.
That means, true and actual on-chain scaling (i.e., not by just increasing the block size).
It is generally hoped that for example CoinJoin, which is a method to use Bitcoin in a more private way and a "many-users-to-many-users-in-one-transaction" format, should see more adoption simply because of the lower fees per user, as the available block space is used more efficiently than when all those users submitted many individual "normal" transactions as per usual.
This will be the case even more so with the Schnorr signature scheme, as "many-to-many" transactions can then be compacted by aggregating the involved public keys and signatures into one single so-called threshold public key and the corresponding threshold signature, making such an aggregated transaction look indistinguishable from a "normal" transaction, benefiting scalability and privacy even more. (This cross-input aggregation part is what's further down the roadmap though.)
Combined with MAST (Merkelized Abstract Syntax Tree), also rather complex scripts ("Smart Contracts") can be made to look indistinguishable from "normal" transactions.
More detailed introduction: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/taproot-coming-what-it-and-how-it-will-benefit-bitcoin
Instructors and notable participants today include:
Michael Folkson, London BitDevs
