Introduction

Designing for Bitcoin isn't just about aesthetics—
it's about creating seamless, intuitive experiences that empower users.

At the Bitcoin++ Conference and Bitcoin UX Bootcamp in FlorianĂłpolis, I had the chance to put this philosophy into action.

Our goal? To refine the user experience and make Bitcoin trading smoother.
