The following topics will be covered:

  • The business case for Bitcoin.
  • Using Bitcoin as your Unit of Account.
  • The importance of running a full node.
  • Node deployment strategies and trade-offs.
  • Technology and hardware considerations. Cost/benefit analysis of various strategies.
  • Operational considerations; UTXO Management, Privacy, Liquidity management.
  • How to leverage BTCPay Server for payment processing.

This event will be held at St. Johns County Public Library System, Main Branch. It's easy to get to with plenty of parking. Hope to see you there!
