Base Layer 2: Privacy, Buying (Non-KYC + KYC) and Lightning
You know how Bitcoin works and hold your own keys. The next step is getting Bitcoin, paying with it, and protecting your privacy along the way.
Buying Bitcoin leaves traces. Paying with Bitcoin requires the right tools. In this workshop you learn both: buying with intention and using it in daily life.
What to expect
You learn the difference between KYC and non-KYC purchases. We look at the Lightning Network, set up a wallet together, and send the first payments. Small group, questions welcome.
