The Philosophy of Crypto

Are you curious about the big ideas behind Bitcoin, blockchain, and the world of crypto?

Tired of hearing only about price and profits?

Join us for a deep dive into the ideas that started it all where we'll all explore the philosophical roots, ethical dilemmas, and societal impact of cryptocurrency.

For every conversation about market caps and trading, there's a deeper one about freedom, trust, and power!

This event moves beyond the hype to explore the core philosophy that drives the cryptocurrency movement.

We'll unpack the "why" behind the code, from the early Cypherpunk manifestos to the complex ethical questions we face today. This is not a technical seminar or a financial workshop; it is a space for critical thinking and open discussion about one of the most disruptive technologies of our time.

Join a diverse community of thinkers, builders, and the crypto-curious to explore:

• The Ideological Origins: Discover the crypto-anarchist and libertarian roots that shaped the vision of a decentralized world.
• The Four Pillars of Crypto Philosophy:We'll use metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and political philosophy as lenses to understand what crypto truly is and what it aims to achieve.

• Power, Politics, and People: Does crypto truly flatten hierarchies, or does it create new forms of power? We'll debate the real-world impact of this technology on society.
• Trust in a Trustless World: How do we verify truth and create consensus without relying on traditional authorities like banks or governments?

This event is perfect for anyone, from seasoned developers to complete newcomers who want to try understand the soul of the machine.
