Bitcoin Prophecy: What Argentina Can Teach You About Your Money
684 John Wesley Dobbs Ave NE suite a1, Atlanta, GA, USJoin us for a conversation with Ariel Aguilar, author of Bitcoin Prophecy: What Argentina Can Teach You About Your Money, who draws on lived experience of one of the world's highest inflation rates—devaluations, deposit confiscations, and exchange controls—to argue for Bitcoin as a way out of broken monetary systems. A tireless evangelist, Ariel has driven two Bitcoin vans 🚌 (the "Bitcoinetas") across Argentina and 20 European countries, organizing meetups and conferences over 60,000+ miles—two laps around the Earth. We'll dig into Argentina's century-long rise and fall, the libertarian turn it sparked, and whether a Bitcoin-driven "Renaissance 2.0" is genuinely on the horizon.

Nostr Atlanta #14 - Decentralized Web Tech - Lunch & Learn
684 John Wesley Dobbs Ave NE suite a1, Atlanta, GA, USJoin us for Nostr Atlanta! Calling all nostr users, content creators, enthusiasts, developers, and more!
We're trying a Lunch & Learn! Either bring a bag lunch or we'll do a DoorDash together. Suggest topics to Andrew (Primary User) in the ATL BitLab Discord.
What is Nostr?
A simple way to think of nostr is as a censorship-resistant social media protocol. In other words, instead of social media being owned by large tech giants, it could be a free and open protocol, the way email is.However, nostr is being used for much more than just building social media apps. Nostr flips the current internet paradigm of "dumb client/smart server" to "smart client/dumb server", by using relays and public-key cryptography. Nostr empowers users to control their own data.
