From Zero to Bitcoin - A Hands-On AI Workshop for Beginners (The AI Collective- Oakville Chapter)
Let's be honest: learning about Bitcoin can feel like an impossible task.
It's a world filled with technical jargon, strong opinions, and overwhelming amounts of information.
If you're curious but don't know who to trust or where to begin, this event was designed specifically for you.
Our only goal is to replace confusion with clarity.
This special collaborative event is brought to you by: the community focus of Simcoe County Bitcoin, the tech-savvy minds of The AI Collective, and the educational expertise of Bitcoin Sherpa.
We will guide you, step-by-step, in using AI tools like ChatGPT as your personal research assistant.
You'll learn how to ask effective questions and craft simple prompts that turn complex topics into easy-to-understand answers.
This is a friendly, judgment-free zone for absolute beginners.
It’s not a lecture; it's a hands-on workshop where you’ll build the skills and the confidence to find your own clarity.
You will leave with a clear, foundational understanding of what Bitcoin is and why it's a technology worth knowing about.
Topics Include:
The 'Why' Behind Bitcoin: Use AI to get a simple explanation of the problem Bitcoin solves.
Demystifying the Basics: Crafting prompts to understand digital scarcity, decentralization, and more.
"Be Your Own Bank": A clear, AI-assisted explanation of self-custody.
Signal vs. Noise: How to use AI to differentiate Bitcoin from the confusing world of "crypto."
Live Q&A: Get your questions answered clearly by our human and AI assistants!
Perfect For:
- Anyone feeling overwhelmed by Bitcoin and looking for a clear starting point.
- Absolute beginners who want a simple, no-jargon introduction.
- Tech-savvy individuals curious about applying AI skills to a new topic.
- Anyone who has tried to learn before but was left with more questions than answers.
