Behind the Magic: Why Bitcoin Technology Just Works
You don’t need to be a developer to appreciate what makes Bitcoin’s technology world-changing—you just need to understand why it works so well.
This panel breaks down the innovation, resilience, and beauty of Bitcoin's open-source foundation in clear, accessible language. Featuring core contributors, miners, and educators, the conversation explores:
What makes Bitcoin secure, reliable, and globally accessible
Why open-source development creates trust and long-term stability
How mining, nodes, and consensus work together behind the scenes
Why Bitcoin resists change—and why that’s a feature, not a bug
What makes Bitcoin different from other technologies (and why it’s not “just crypto”)
Whether you're an executive, a builder, or just Bitcoin-curious, this is your opportunity to learn how the tech that powers Bitcoin is still the most innovative system in finance—and why it’s built to last.

Panel discussion
The Future of Bitcoin Mining: Power, Incentives, and Decentralization
Bitcoin mining is the engine behind the network—but who controls that engine, and where is it heading?
In this panel, we explore how mining is evolving as the industry scales and matures. What risks come with too much power in the hands of a few large pools? Can smaller miners stay competitive? How do policy pressures, like sanctions or regulation, impact who gets to mine and which transactions get confirmed?
We’ll break down:
Why decentralization in mining still matters
How miners make decisions—and what influences them
Whether new ideas like mining incentives or protocol changes can shift the balance
What individuals and communities can do to keep mining open and censorship-resistant
If you care about Bitcoin’s long-term resilience, this conversation is one you don’t want to miss.
