Bitcoin 101: How to Build Money Without a Middleman | Chandigarh

We are taught to think of money through the lens of central banks, physical cash, and financial institutions. Viewing Bitcoin through that traditional lens makes it look like just another speculative digital asset. In reality, Bitcoin is a breakthrough solution to a long-standing computer science problem: how to maintain an accurate, tamper-proof record of transactions among strangers without appointing a trusted referee. This session strips away the market noise to inspect the core architecture from scratch, showing how basic cryptography, energy expenditure, and economic incentives build open, permissionless money.
Led by Bitshala educators and open-source builders. Our sessions are led by active community members who build open-source tools, study the Bitcoin protocol, and advocate for transparent, open software.
Zero prior background in coding or finance required. An appetite for logic and clear thinking required.
Stop trusting financial middlemen, come see how the code actually verifies every single satoshi.
Bitshala is a Bitcoin-focused education initiative where we help developers, designers, and curious builders learn by doing. We run cohorts, clubs, workshops, a hackerspace, and community programs that make it easier for people to explore, contribute to, and build on Bitcoin. Our focus is on hands-on learning, proof-of-work, and growing alongside a community of people who care about open technology, design, and the future of money.
