image 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. 📌 Register at:
Bitshala Meetup, Mumbai | Saturday, July 04 🚀 From hash functions to secp256k1, from UTXOs to ECDSA, and from 24-word mnemonics to full wallet derivation paths, we unpacked what actually powers a Bitcoin wallet. “From 24 Words to Keys” was all signal, no fluff: tracing how 256 bits of entropy become an infinite tree of keys, signatures, and addresses. Bitcoin wallets don’t hold coins, they compute control.
