🧱 The Basics of Bitcoin & Open Blockchain

💡 What You’ll Learn:

🔁 Solving the Double-Spending Problem

  • How Bitcoin eliminated the need for central authorities using Proof-of-Work and decentralized consensus.
  • Why this innovation redefined trust, security, and verification for global finance.

🌐 The Six Pillars of Bitcoin & Open Blockchain

  • 🔓 Permissionless – inclusion without gatekeepers.
  • 🛠 Open Source – transparency through auditable code.
  • 🌍 Borderless – value that flows beyond jurisdictions.
  • 🛡 Censorship-Resistant – transactions no one can block or reverse.
  • ⚖ Neutral – monetary fairness through rules, not rulers.
  • 🔍 Publicly Verifiable – radical transparency, real-time accountability.

The Blockchain Trilemma

  • Why scalability, security, and decentralization can’t all be maximized—and how Bitcoin made the right trade-offs for long-term trust.

💸 Bitcoin vs. The Dollar — and Crypto vs. Bitcoin

  • Why Bitcoin challenges fiat currencies, while “crypto” often competes against Bitcoin itself.
  • Understanding inflation vs. deflation, neutrality vs. manipulation, and sound money in the digital age.

💳 Tokenization & Stablecoins — Useful, But Not Open

  • The difference between “on blockchain” and “of blockchain.”
  • Why stablecoins, CBDCs, and tokenized assets may be efficient—but rarely permissionless, neutral, or censorship-resistant.

🎯 Final Reflections for Policy, Wealth & Law

  • Bitcoin as a monetary firewall for freedom and financial sovereignty.
  • What it means for regulators, investors, educators, and policymakers to engage with Bitcoin strategically—not speculatively.

👥 Who Should Attend:

  • Policymakers & Regulators shaping digital asset legislation
  • Legal & Financial Professionals exploring auditability and compliance
  • HNWIs & Institutional Investors seeking sovereign asset strategies
  • Educators, Economists & Students of Technology and Governance
  • Entrepreneurs, Builders & Technologists building in the open blockchain space

🤝 Why Attend:

At Bitcoin DXB, we don’t just explain Bitcoin — we decode its economic, political, and technological significance.
You’ll walk away understanding why Bitcoin’s open, neutral, and censorship-resistant design makes it the only credible candidate for a global, non-sovereign monetary standard.
