The Lightning Network @ Private Key

The topic of our next Private Key meetup in Berlin will be one of the most promising solutions for scaling Bitcoin: the Lightning Network.  Jeff Gallas from Fulmo.org will give an introductory talk about this highly controversial "second layer" of Bitcoin.

Jeff Gallas is a Blockchain consultant, investor and entrepreneur based in Berlin. Actively involved in the Bitcoin and Blockchain space since 2011, he co-founded one of the first European Bitcoin broker websites and is the founding director of the German Bitcoin Foundation ("Bundesverband Bitcoin"). 

He is a member of the Crypto Economics Consulting Group and a founding member of the Bitcoinkiez in Berlin as well as the world's longest running Bitcoin meetup, the Bitcoin Stammtisch in Berlin. 

Jeff is a consultant for the award-winning FinTech startup Bitwala and regularly runs workshops and advises other companies and non-profits in regard to Bitcoin and Blockchain technology. 

Currently, he is running Fulmo, which is dedicated to research and development of the Lightning Network and Blockchain scaling.

In addition, Achol Bol from UNCHAIN Hamburg, will tell us what will happen at that conference, which will take place from May 31st to June 1st at Kehrwieder Theatre, Hafencity. 

The meetup will take place at our regular venue, the Oak & Ice in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg. It will start at 18:30. Entry is free, access is limited, so please register here!
