This will be a technical side event at #LagosBlockDeFi2020, so be ready to nerd away! Session presentation will be focused on how to build a Raspiblitz; the Lightning node and Bitcoin full node running on a Raspberry Pi 4. We will also share 7 Ways to Potentially Make Money with the Lightning Network #LightningEconomy. You will definitely not "Get Rich Quickly" running a LND but the few Satoshi that will be dropping into your Segwit wallet will one day make a difference.

How will Blockchain Technology Impact Your Clients? It’s disrupting, or has the potential to disrupt, a number of industries that rely heavily on lawyers’ counsel and advice. And this disruption will create opportunities for you to help, as industries wrangle with how disruption impacts everything from operations to regulatory and legal structures. We predict these disruptions will create niche practice areas for those lawyers who choose to understand the Blockchain. This course will explain not only what Blockchain is but also the key areas of Blockchain technology that will impact the Legal professional. This course has been designed for lawyers, but is applicable to other professionals.This workshop will be facilitated in partnership with Innovation &amp; Technology Lawyers Network.

The one day workshop is tailored for mainstream journalists. It is structured to assist media practitioners to do a better job of understanding and reporting about Blockchain Technologies. Africa Blockchain University (ABU )organised the first workshop in Zimbabwe in 2017 with great success and is replicating it around the continent this year starting at the #LagosBlockDeFi2020 Conference . It will cover the following fields:➤ Understanding Blockchain Technologies➤ Cryptocurrency 101➤ Regulatory Environment➤ Socio-Political &amp; Economic Impact of Blockchain➤ Detecting &amp; Reporting Scams &amp; Fraudulent Schemes...and lots more!At the end of the workshop, participants will learn what is and what is not Blockchain,downloading a wallet and running a transaction.
