Bitcoin Amsterdam 2022 Day 1
summary
Panels that give answers not slogans: a developer demos RGB smart contracts (privacy + Turing‑complete logic on Bitcoin), miners show profitable use of waste energy (methane flare capture, heat reuse for greenhouses), and miners explain how curtailed solar gets bankable. Lightning operators report 98.7% route success, median payment ~$5 and node income examples (≈0.4 BTC/month for a large node). Lending firms outline concrete terms: up to 50% LTV, margin calls and auto‑topups to avoid liquidation. UK gilts down ~52% and pension stress close the loop.
