SUMMARY:A Gentle Introduction to Bitcoin with Dr. Carvalho via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Recent years have seen an explosion of interest in cryptocurrencies\, with a particular focus on Bitcoin. From MicroStrategy to Square to Tesla\, the corporate world is starting to consider Bitcoin as an alternative for their cash piles. In 2021\, El Salvador has added Bitcoin as an official currency of exchange. In this accessible talk\, Dr. Arthur Carvalho explains the inner workings of Bitcoin\, from its anonymous nature and the underlying know-your-customer and money-laundering issues to Bitcoin's proof-of-work consensus mechanism responsible for the often-criticized high-energy consumption. Besides learning about use cases\, participants will also have the opportunity to learn how to acquire bitcoins via centralized exchanges.
