How Bitcoin Reaches Consensus Without Trust ₿ | Deccan, Pune

At the heart of Bitcoin lies a fundamental computer science breakthrough: solving the Byzantine Generals Problem in an open, adversarial, peer-to-peer network.
Most people know Bitcoin uses "Proof of Work," but few understand the exact interplay between miners, full nodes, game theory, and math that enforces the rules. Why can’t miners just print 50 million coins? What actually happens during a chain reorganization? What can a 51% attack actually do; and what is mathematically impossible for it to change?
Whether you're a software engineer, technical enthusiast, or crypto-curious builder, this session goes under the hood to break down how independent, untrusted actors converge on a single, indisputable history of truth.
Led by Bitshala educators and open-source builders dedicated to onboarding the next generation of Bitcoin developers.
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.
