Bitcoin is a technology that is changing how people think about money and ownership, and this is a chance to understand exactly how it works.

Bitcoin Journey run this introduction in a clear and engaging way. It is open to all ages and assumes no prior knowledge. You do not need to bring a laptop, and you do not need to own any bitcoin.

What it covers

What bitcoin is and how it works
Why bitcoin represents a genuine shift, not just another app
How people actually use it, with real examples
The difference between bitcoin and other digital currencies
A live demonstration of a bitcoin transaction

This is an interactive session. Your questions, reflections and participation are not just welcome, they are the point.

Two dates, one session

It is the same session twice, so come to whichever suits your week. Wednesday 16 September at 6.00pm, or Thursday 17 September at 10.30am. Each runs two hours. There is no need to come to both.

Bring photo ID

Stacked, the host, is a New Zealand bitcoin platform. Attending is free, nobody has to buy anything, and there is no obligation to open an account. Bring photo ID only if you want to use the optional help desk at the session.
