Designing for bitcoin is notoriously hard.
Decentralization. Self-sovereignty. Resilience. Adversarial thinking. Trust minimization.
These features, deeply embedded into bitcoin’s technical architecture as well as its ethos, form the central design constraints we work within. Can we design products and experiences that bring bitcoin to billions of users: while staying true to these values? while delivering on the promise of what this future money can be? while remaining as simple as possible?
This full-day Deep Dive invites Silicon Valley designers to spend a day with bitcoin designers to examine these questions through the lens of the Grand Challenges of Bitcoin Design—a handful of the most impactful and deceptively tricky design problems in bitcoin like: bitcoin’s branding, on-ramps and off-ramps, self-custody, identity & addressing schemes, units and quantities and privacy. We’ll study these problems together and work in small groups to bring design solutions to light.
There will also be an opportunity to hear from the bitcoin startups working out of Presidio Bitcoin that are pushing the frontier of bitcoin product development forward.
Join us on Thursday September 18th from 9am - 5pm at Presidio Bitcoin in San Francisco for a day of collaborative problem solving.
Admission is free. Space is very limited—so please tell us more about you.
