โ€‹โšก๏ธ Bitcoin Acceleration (b/acc)

โ€‹Is Bitcoin the currency of the machine intelligence age?

The Bitcoin ecosystem is at a tipping point with a Cambrian explosion of development at both the core and Layer 2 levels. While still emerging, breakthroughs in scalability, speed, and programmability are unlocking new financial and programmable applications, including machine to machine payments.

โ€‹๐Ÿชฉ Opening Night - Calling Upon Pioneers

โ€‹Hosted by Edge, Hivemind, and BitDev SF, this exclusive, invite-only gathering lights the fire of a new movement, calling upon Bitcoinโ€™s core architects and innovators to push the boundaries. Together, we aim to build a thriving Bitcoin developer ecosystem in San Francisco.

โ€‹๐Ÿ—“ Agenda:

  • โ€‹6:30 PM - 7:00 PM | ๐Ÿธ Door Open

โ€‹๐ŸŒ State of Bitcoin

  • โ€‹Instant, global, and (nearly) free Lightning Network payments are going mainstream to 100s of millions of users around the world thanks to integrations with Cash App ($SQ), Nubank ($NU), Coinbase ($COIN), and fintechs in dozens of countries

  • โ€‹Lightning payments work easily in apps like Stacker News, Fountain, and Primal

  • โ€‹Stablecoins are coming to Bitcoin/Lightning via Taproot Assets (among other solutions). It's live!

  • โ€‹L402 is emerging as a standard for machine to machine Lightning payments. Imagine an autonomous agent paying for an API call on its own. It's live now!

  • โ€‹Nostr has emerged as a permissionless, interoperable identity and data transport layer allowing users to bring their social graph and bitcoin lightning payments with them to hundreds of apps

  • โ€‹eCash is booming with dozens of lightning native Chaumian ecash mints and wallets springing up online

  • โ€‹Bitcoin core developments like BitVM have unlocked smart contracts without altering the base layer. Scaling solutions such as Ark, Lava, and rollup research are pushing the limits further
