Over the next couple of days, we'll go over each of the five pathways and give an overview of what each entails. First up is Mastering Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is more than just a digital currency, it’s an entire technological movement. To build on Bitcoin, you need a deep understanding of its foundations, and that’s exactly what the Mastering Bitcoin pathway offers.
This 8-week structured learning track is designed for developers, designers, and Bitcoin enthusiasts who want a comprehensive study of Bitcoin’s inner workings.
Using Mastering Bitcoin (3rd Edition) by Andreas Antonopoulos as our primary resource, participants work in peer-learning study groups to discuss Bitcoin concepts and engage in hands-on learning.
This Pathway Covers: ✅ How Bitcoin works; from cryptographic keys to network architecture. ✅ The mechanics behind wallets, transactions, and mining. ✅ Bitcoin scripting & programming concepts to deepen your technical knowledge. ✅ Decentralization & security.
Participants attend weekly discussion calls, prepare presentations based on Socratic discussion questions, and engage in partner discussions.
