Join us for a bilingual hands-on workshop where you'll learn to create the most affordable hardware wallet available—Satochip. This cutting-edge solution is designed for securely storing and managing Bitcoin, using an NFC-powered chip card that follows advanced protocols like BIP32 and BIP39. The Satochip hardware wallet can be built for as little as $3 per unit when purchased in bulk, making it a highly cost-effective option for financial sovereignty.
In addition to building the Satochip wallet, participants will also have the opportunity to explore the Seedkeeper, A secure seed phrase and password manager, and the Satodime, A bearer Bitcoin card for exchanging Bitcoin like cash.
Attendees will be guided step by step through the process, and by the end of the workshop, they will have created one of the personalized, tamper-resistant hardware devices. This workshop is ideal for those seeking practical, low-cost solutions for secure Bitcoin management.
Join us for a bilingual hands-on workshop where you'll learn to create your own hardware wallet using Satochip, the most affordable and secure solution for managing Bitcoin. Satochip is an NFC-powered chip card that follows BIP32 and BIP39 protocols, providing high security and ease of use. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, this workshop will equip you to confidently manage your Bitcoin.
In this session, we’ll guide you through the process of transforming a standard JavaCard into a fully functional Satochip hardware wallet. You’ll start by setting up the necessary tools, including GlobalPlatformPro, to load and manage applets. Then, you’ll flash the applet onto the card, turning it into a secure, low-cost hardware wallet.
This workshop is practical and interactive. By the end, participants will choose to build one of three Satochip products:
Satochip Wallet: A tamper-resistant wallet for securely storing Bitcoin.
Seedkeeper: A smart card for managing seed phrases and passwords securely.
Satodime: A bearer Bitcoin card for exchanging Bitcoin like cash.
After exploring each device, participants will build one of their choice, leaving with a personalized, tamper-resistant device for secure Bitcoin management. This workshop is perfect for those seeking low-cost solutions for financial sovereignty, especially in communities where affordability is key.
I am a Colombian, Swiss, and American professional with a diverse background that provides me with a well-rounded understanding of global cultures. My journey began in filmmaking, where I honed my storytelling skills and produced impactful works, including a film that premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival with one of Colombia's most renowned directors. I also created a documentary on gender violence in the communes of Medellín, a narrative broadcast annually on Mother’s Day in Colombia.
Motherhood inspired me to follow my lifelong dream and pivot towards technology, leading me to pursue a degree in Computer Science, graduating with honors from Johns Hopkins Engineering for Professionals. During my studies, I discovered Bitcoin and became captivated by its potential to revolutionize financial sovereignty. I began my journey in the Bitcoin community by editing videos for Tone Vays, a prominent figure in the space.
Today, I host a technical Bitcoin podcast, exploring the intricacies of this groundbreaking technology. My work extends to the Bitcoin Education Network, where I help spread knowledge and foster understanding of Bitcoin’s transformative power. Recently, I spoke at the Unconfiscatable conference in Nashville, sharing my insights on Bitcoin education.
Beyond my work in Bitcoin, I am passionate about soldering and tinkering with electronics, constantly exploring ways to blend technical skills with hands-on creativity. This love for building and experimenting is reflected in the workshops I now host, where I guide others in creating low-cost, secure hardware solutions for managing digital assets, emphasizing accessibility and empowerment, especially for communities in developing countries.
