Learn Bitcoin From The Command Line Study Cohort

Overview

The LBTCL Cohort is an intermediate, hands-on experience focused on teaching students how to interact with Bitcoin Core using the command-line interface (CLI). This program covers everything from creating transactions to advanced scripting techniques. You will get a strong foundation in Bitcoin development. By using tools like such as bitcoin-cli and setting up a local bitcoind regtest node, participants will gain practical skills using terminal.

Who should join?

The cohort is geared towards bitcoiners with intermediate knowledge of Bitcoin who are looking to deepen their technical understanding. Whether you’re a developer, engineer, or just a nocoiner curious to learn how to defend agains inflation, this cohort will provide the knowledge needed to advance your bitcoiner skills. It’s especially suitable for those who want to go beyond theory and roll up their sleeves to jump into the command line.

What you need to know?

To participate, you should already be familiar with Bitcoin fundamentals and comfortable navigating Unix/Linux terminal environments. It would be good if you have already gone through Mastering Bitcoin Study Cohort, but it’s not mandatory. What’s most important is your excitement for working with the command line and learning about Bitcoin in a more technical way.

What’s it in for you?

Understanding of Bitcoin Core: Learn of Bitcoin Core operations and how it functions.

Full Node Setup and Management: Learn to configure and manage a local bitcoind regtest node for experimentation purposes.

Advanced Scripting Skills: Understand advanced scripting to create customized Bitcoin scripts and smart contracts.

Collaborative Learning: Hold each other accountable within the community of learners through discussion and shared experiences.

Certificate: Earn a completion certificate showcasing your achievement and proof of work.

Preparation for Advanced Topics: Open doors to further study, including Programming Bitcoin.

Associate/Fellowship Opportunities: Get paid to be a bitcoiner and give back to the community.

What is the Bitcoin Indonesia Associate/Fellow?

The fellowship program offers a pathway into contributing to the Bitcoin Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) community. Participants may get involved in developing open-source projects or pushing educational initiatives (like this exact study cohort).

Study Cohort Structure

The program is designed for independent learning with weekly collaborative Socratic seminars. Students will be placed in smaller groups each week to answer questions related to the week’s assigned chapters of the book. After self-studying the material, participants will join their individual group discussions to explain their answers in a “hot seat” after which the discussion will take place.

Following these discussions, Technical Assistants will be here to answer any technical questions.

After participating in the Learning Bitcoin from the Command Line cohort, the next best step is to attend the Programming Bitcoin Cohort and develop your skills further.
