You don't need to win to get rewarded, just ship something great. Build something that makes bitcoin easier to use. Make the developer tooling you wish existed. Integrate privacy best practices into your favorite bitcoin app. Vibecode agentic payments with bitcoin. The possibilities are endless. Beginners are welcome! ⏱️ 36 hours of hacking 🔗 Apply now! mitbitcoinexpo.org/hackathon Applications reviewed on a rolling basis. Don't miss out!

@Bitcoin_Devs I really am, guys. Shout out here when you want Italian translation/proofreading of the site. It worth all the efforts I can put in it and over 🧡
