​Lessons learnt from nearly a decade working on Bitcoin infrastructure

​Jad has spent close to 10 years deep in the trenches of Bitcoin's low-level infrastructure—building and researching everything from nodes and mining pools to indexers/block explorers, wallets, transaction libraries, and script interpreters. This is a chance to hear the unfiltered insights and battle scars from someone who's actually gotten his hands dirty with the Bitcoin engine under the hood.

​Here's what we'll cover:

​• PoW > PoS — The beauty of simplicity

​• Pseudonymity > anonymity — What actually works in practice

​• UTXO model > account-based model — Why Bitcoin's model makes sense

​• Fungibility: legal not technical — Where the real battles are fought

​• Soft forks are more dangerous than hard forks — The counterintuitive truth

​• LN is not the silver bullet it's advertised to be — The Lightning Network reality check

​• Stability > "Innovation" — Don't build your house on sand

​Bring questions, bring skepticism. This will be raw and real.
