Bitcoin Mining 101: The Thermodynamic Engine of Decentralized Time

📍Cheeka, Haryana
🗓️Sunday, July 19

Most software relies on clocks for coordination; Bitcoin instead uses energy as a universal source of truth.

This workshop ignores prices and hype to focus on the protocol itself, how a network of strangers agrees on a single, ordered history of transactions, and why real-world electricity is what prevents digital counterfeiting.

From 24 Words to Keys: Demystifying Bitcoin Wallet Architecture

📍 Mumbai
📅Saturday, July 04 | 11:00 AM

Your Bitcoin wallet holds zero coins; it is simply a local calculator generating an infinite tree of keys from 256 bits of entropy.

This meetup shifts the focus away from UI buttons and API calls to examine the underlying Bitcoin improvement proposals (BIPs) that turn raw randomness into sovereign financial control, serving as a clean technical entry point for developers new to Bitcoin.

Wrapped up Bitcoin 101: Designing Digital Scarcity in Ahmedabad today 🚀

We skipped the hype and went straight to first principles—how Bitcoin anchors truth in physics, not promises.

We covered:
✅The cypherpunk roots shaping Bitcoin’s ethos
✅ How Layer 2s are evolving into credible alternatives to altcoins—without compromising on Bitcoin’s security
✅Bitshala and why education-first communities matter

From code to consensus, from theory to architecture—this is where it starts.

See you at the next one ⚡

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
