And, we totally understand, Bitcoin Tech
can seem overwhelming in the start but it’s
hard mostly if you’re trying to learn alone.

Personally, I was able to familiarize myself more deeply with concepts I only knew at a surface level. I was also able to get myself up-to-date with many recent developments. And, a special shoutout goes to the other weekly clubs conducted by Bitshala that I attended alongside the cohort — Bitcoin Optech Club, Reading Club, and the PR Review Club. They covered a ton of additional information, and attending them is a must for anyone who wants to stay up-to-date with everything happening in Bitcoin. I can assure you that anyone who is able to stick through the entire Mastering Bitcoin cohort will gain a better understanding of Bitcoin than 99% of people and will be in a good position to grab opportunities in the Bitcoin space or start something of their own.

Anyone spending four hours of their evenings, in a week, can gain valuable knowledge and experience about technical, economic and philosophical landscape of Bitcoin. The community makes learning fun and effective for me.

The questions and practical exercises. I think they are very well designed to make you deeply reflect on the studied topic. It help me a lot to consolidate knowledge. The kindle and super fast support from bitshala team and the rest of bitshala comunity. Sharing knowledge, experience and a lot of good stuff. I was awesome to me you all. I loved the day when instead of following the planned agenda and discussing the weekly questions, there was a debate on philosophical and profound topics about money and bitcoin. It was great!

Participating in the Programming Bitcoin cohort was one of the most transformative experience for me. The sessions provided invaluable clarity on key concepts such as public key cryptography, giving me a crystal-clear understanding. It was a pivotal moment in my Bitcoin journey that boosted my confidence in mastering Bitcoin's technical aspects.

If you’re a bitcoin user, you'd like to have a front row 'chair' over all things bitcoin. Bitshala fixes this!

I came across Bitshala while working on an SOB assignment and decided to join their Bitcoin Protocol Development cohort. Honestly, it’s been such an amazing experience! In just 8 weeks, I learned so much, thanks to their awesome community and support. Shoutout to Raj for getting me started with the SP project and a huge thanks to Anmol for always helping me out without making me feel silly! Tanveer on BPD and Bitshala Community

Before the cohort I was just a person with some idea of Bitcoin transactions, mining etc. 'Cool technology', I thought. I had no idea of what the code looks like, who are the people working behind this. After the cohort I had a whole new understanding of how Bitcoin works and the people who make it Bitcoin.
