The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking
Economist and author Saifedean Ammous comes to Munich to talk about "The Bitcoin Standard", which is the title of his new book in which he examines various historical monetary systems, from seashells to the gold standard, in order to draw lessons relevant to Bitcoin.
Obviously, you'll have the opportunity to get your copy of the book signed in-person tonight! The book will be sold tonight too while stocks last.
We'll also have special guests from Venezuela, so we can learn first-hand about the situation in that country, and how crypto-currencies are being utilized there.
Target audience: Everyone interested in the macro-economic effects Bitcoin might have on the world in the near future.

The Lightning Network: Introduction and Deep-Dive
Christian Decker from Blockstream and the DLT staff from MainbornWolff will give us an introduction and deep-dive into the Lightning Network.
How should an internet-native money and cash look like? How to make it scale while remaining decentralized? How to achieve the capacity required to serve the daily transaction needs not only of every human on this planet, but also of the machines and automated processes of the future; that is, millions of transactions per second world-wide, with near-zero fees?
The Bitcoin community has been debating (to say the least) for the last 3 years, and even most of the harshest critics of the "small blockers" don't deny in principle that a so-called layer 2 is inevitable.
A blockchain fundamentally doesn't scale. It must run redundantly on thousands of computers world-wide in order to remain truly immutable and incorruptible. To chisel every single payment for a coffee into such a ledger system is thus far too heavy on resources.
Enter the Lightning Network. Turns out there is a way that Alice can be paid by Bob for a coffee without having to tell the world, while still being safe from double spending. How does that work? Tonight we will learn all about the clever solution that has been found for this problem.
Target Audience: We will have two parts. First we will address a general audience, later we will dive deeper into the matter, demonstrating how to set up and run a lightning node. We will probably also have an extended Q&A and discussion panel to talk about the future of scalability in blockchains, layer 2 solutions, the challenges, and potential further applications therein.

ICO Night: VC Perspectives
Due to popular request we will be looking at ICOs again, examining the state of the industry in 2018. We will focus especially on perspectives from a traditional VC viewpoint, aiming to reach a balanced conclusion at the end of the evening.
On the one hand, we have articles pointing out that most ICOs of 2017 have already failed. https://news.bitcoin.com/46-last-years-icos-failed-already/
On the other hand, more and more traditional startups are discovering this new way of funding, and are about to actively put it into practice. https://www.coindesk.com/ico-tokens-already-changing-traditional-startups/

Resilience in Bitcoin, Proof-of-Work, Energy Consumption
The Munich Security Conference is on, and like last year we cooperate with the https://pirate-secon.org/ counter-conference, being kindly hosted on location.
As always, our meetup takes place in the evening and is free to attend, but you're welcome to get tickets (€25,-) for the full conference that runs for the whole weekend.
The theme of the conference is "Resilience". Resilience is also one of the fundamental prerequisites for Bitcoin to function. No one party or interest group must be able to take over the system. We will be looking into how this is achieved, and perhaps what can be learned from it in a broader context.
Proof-of-work consensus aka Mining is certainly one of the cornerstones that enables the *Security* of the network. Lately though, articles have been making the rounds that Bitcoin requires as much energy as countries like Denmark, and that one Bitcoin transaction consumes as much energy as a family home in a week. Is that true? Is Bitcoin sustainable in a world afflicted with climate change, struggling to achieve CO2 neutrality? We will be trying to shed some light on this issue. Probably we'll have a pretty open-ended discussion round.
Target Audience: Everyone interested in the political, societal, and environmental aspects of Bitcoin and related technologies.

The History of Money, Lending, and Banking, and its Future in the Crypto-Age
We're very happy to welcome Joshua Scigala from the gold-for-bitcoin exchange vaultoro.com (https://www.vaultoro.com/), Kersten Schütze from the crypto-lending platform ethlend.io (https://about.ethlend.io/), and developer and monetary systems thinker Martin Kreidenweis.
We'll take this opportunity to look at the history of money and banking, and to think about what we can learn from it for a potential future of "Hyperbitcoinization (http://nakamotoinstitute.org/mempool/hyperbitcoinization/)" or the like in which crypto-currencies widely succeed.
How did money originate? How did people in the past save, lend, and invest? And how will we do online banking without actual banks in the near future (or even, today)?
We'll have in-depth talks and presentations full of information that cover many angles and viewpoints, so prepare also for an interesting discussion round!
Such a full program means we're going to start at 18:30!
Target Audience: Everyone interested in different viewpoints about the nature of money in general, and of course of crypto-currencies in particular. No all-to-deep technical knowledge required.

https://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-Munich/events/242301271/
We welcome Tone Vays and Aaron Koenig in Munich — two legends of the space that we're extremely happy to have on this date!
Our guests will give talks about their main fields of activity. We'll learn about the Austrian School of Economics, which has seen a significant revival with the emergence of Bitcoin, and about certain intricacies of Bitcoin trading, its price history and the actual impact on the global economy it may already have.
And while Tone and Aaron share very similar political views as big proponents of economic and social liberty, they have very different opinions on the sense or nonsense of various altcoins. So let's seize this opportunity and dig a little bit deeper here in the second part of the evening. Both speakers are independently travelling through Europe for conferences and meetups, but nowhere else they'll be confronted with each other like here in Munich.
Target Audience: The first part with our guests' talks may appeal to a general audience, serving as good overviews about the economics and trading aspects of crypto-currencies. The second part with the discussion may require some acquired familiarity with the space.

How does it actually look like to work with the Bitcoin blockchain for use cases like intellectual property management, far from any "blockchain voodoo", as one of our members recently so succinctly put it what's going on in our space sometimes?
How do you build such transactions?
And how does it all tie in with all the current situation about fees? Heck, why don't you just use $altcoin that is so much easier / cheaper / faster / sexier / unicornier?
Florian Weigand, CTO from the Munich-based startup bernstein.io – formerly known as clipperz.is – will shed some light, and give us an hands-on presentation of how to secure intellectual property on the Bitcoin blockchain.
For this he will create a manual Bitcoin transaction and go in the details of how to select a proper fee to be relayed. Furthermore he will show us some tools the developers at Bernstein are using for their day-to-day work.

We'll have a more informal get-together this month, offering an introductory workshop for newcomers, as well as the opportunity to have a discussion round about news and current events in the bitcoin and blockchain space.
We usually do this format when we don't find specific speakers for our monthly workshop/talks event.
We'll be kindly hosted (again) by the German Pirate Party this time. They have rooms with all the necessary equipment in the Northern part of Munich. Thanks very much!
(We are not affiliated with the Pirate Party, nor are we affiliated with the locations and hosts of past or future events.)
19:00 Doors open, pizza + drinks (for small donations), socializing
19:30 Welcome, introduction round
19:45 Workshop for newcomers
Interactive dialog with our newcomers today about what they already know and want to learn. Advanced-level attendees are asked to assist. Learning by teaching, there's always something new to discover for all of us. We have slides and websites ready to demonstrate and show most of the subject matters.
At a meta-level: Are wallet install parties still feasible in times of high fees? For demoing transactions and block explorers, should we sidestep into altcoins for the time being? If so, which?
20:45 News roundup and discussions
Proposed topics:
• Price frenzy, all-time high, no ETF, honey badger
• The Enterprise Ethereum Alliance
• R3 unchained
• Should we even mention DASH?
21:30 End of official part, drinks, socializing
Originally we had planned an event with Abra this month, but this has been indefinitely postponed due to "product delays".

We'll have a more informal get-together this month, offering an introductory workshop for newcomers, as well as the opportunity to have a discussion round about news and current events in the bitcoin and blockchain space.
We usually do this format when we don't find specific speakers for our monthly workshop/talks event.
We'll be kindly hosted (again) by the German Pirate Party this time. They have rooms with all the necessary equipment in the Northern part of Munich. Thanks very much!
(We are not affiliated with the Pirate Party, nor are we affiliated with the locations and hosts of past or future events.)
19:00 Doors open, pizza + drinks (for small donations), socializing
19:30 Welcome, introduction round
19:45 Workshop for newcomers
Interactive dialog with our newcomers today about what they already know and want to learn. Advanced-level attendees are asked to assist. Learning by teaching, there's always something new to discover for all of us. We have slides and websites ready to demonstrate and show most of the subject matters.
At a meta-level: Are wallet install parties still feasible in times of high fees? For demoing transactions and block explorers, should we sidestep into altcoins for the time being? If so, which?
20:45 News roundup and discussions
Proposed topics:
• Price frenzy, all-time high, no ETF, honey badger
• The Enterprise Ethereum Alliance
• R3 unchained
• Should we even mention DASH?
21:30 End of official part, drinks, socializing
Originally we had planned an event with Abra this month, but this has been indefinitely postponed due to "product delays".
