Part of Bitcoin Week. For more information on Bitcoin Socratic Seminars in general, see https://bitdevs.org/ and https://bitdevs.berlin/.
Usually we talk about new topics of the last 4 weeks but since this group is not meeting regularly it will be more of a "best-of" of the last ~2 months. Also, feel free to bring your own topic if you feel something is missing (has to be in line with our general selection guidelines, no promotion of commercial services please). Ideally notify me before we start so I can make time for it or send me a message on twitter (@fjahr).
