We've just concluded week 2 of the live cohort for the Mastering Bitcoin pathway. 📚

Over the past week, participants studied chapters 3 and 4 of Mastering Bitcoin, discussing the material with their learning partners before coming together for our live session with the faculty.

The conversations focused on how Bitcoin actually works behind the scenes. We explored Bitcoin Core as the reference implementation, what it means to run a full node, and why independent verification is such an important part of the network.

We also examined how developers interact with Bitcoin Core through tools like the command line and JSON‑RPC.

From there, we moved into the foundations of Bitcoin cryptography. Participants unpacked how private and public keys work, how signatures prove ownership, and how addresses are derived to make sending and receiving bitcoin possible.

Week by week, it’s all starting to come together. On to the next! 🚀
