BIG SEPTEMBER MEETUP — Roger9000 on The Beautiful Balance of Bitcoin

**\*\*\* Please note venue is now Molly Malone's Irish Tavern\*\*\*** Bitcoin is usually discussed as money, technology, economics, or politics. But what if it can also be understood as something more personal — a mirror through which to examine value, identity, freedom, and our relationship with the world around us? At September's meetup, author Roger9000 will be presenting on his new book, *The Beautiful Balance of Bitcoin*. Drawing on Jungian philosophy, Mayan mythology, medieval alchemy and the work of Joseph Campbell, Roger explores Bitcoin from a very different perspective: as a mythic and transformational force, and as a tool for examining the individual as much as the monetary system. The talk will explore ideas from the book including Bitcoin as a modern-day Philosopher's Stone, the hero's journey of the Bitcoiner, low time preference as a personal practice, the shadow side of "Number Go Up", and the relationship between Bitcoin, value, freedom, love and truth. It should make for a particularly interesting discussion whether you agree with Roger's interpretation or simply want to hear Bitcoin examined through a lens very different from the usual economic and technical ones. 🌏 ATTENDANCE: For this event, we'll be in the upstairs mezzanine level of Molly Malone's Irish Tavern in Surry Hills. If you've not been to a Bitcoin Meetup before and want to know what it's all about this is a great opportunity to meet and join the community. All newcomers are welcome. 🌏 AGENDA: **From 6.00pm:** Arrival and Networking **7.05:** Introduction - Alex Hanley **7.15:** Roger9000 - *The Beautiful Balance of Bitcoin* **8.00:** Break **8.10:** Q&A and discussion with Roger9000 **9.00:** Drinks and Networking As usual Bayani will have a selection of Bitcoin related merchandise for sale, with payment by Bitcoin accepted of course!

SydJS: Complex queries with simple JavaScript

We’ve been enjoying a good run of meetups with a focus on AI, so it’s a great time for a palette cleanser. This month a long time friend of SydJS is introducing us to library he’s been working on to do what JavaScript does so well — simplifying complexity. JSMQL is a subset of JavaScript that compiles to MongoDB MQL, so you use the syntax you know to compile queries you need. Vasyl Boroviak saw an opportunity when MongoDB 8.0 deprecated server side JavaScript, and he’s taking the opportunity to show us how he replaced that lost functionality.

History of Political Economic Thought

The century from **1848 to 1948** was one of the most transformative and turbulent periods in human history. It witnessed revolutions, imperial expansion, industrialisation, financial panics, global wars, economic depression, and the emergence of competing political and economic ideologies that continue to shape the world today. This session explores how the world evolved from the upheavals of the **Revolutions of 1848** to the reconstruction that followed the **Second World War**. We will examine the rise of mass industrial capitalism, the acceleration of global trade and finance, and the increasingly pronounced boom-and-bust cycles that culminated in major crises, including the Long Depression of the late nineteenth century, the Panic of 1907, and the Great Depression of the 1930s. At the geopolitical level, the session traces the **rise, apex and gradual decline of the British Empire**, which dominated global commerce, naval power, and international finance throughout much of the nineteenth century. We will then examine the forces that shifted economic and political leadership across the Atlantic, laying the foundations for the **American Century** through industrial scale, financial power, technological innovation, and victory in two world wars. Central to the discussion is the clash of ideas that emerged in response to the opportunities and disruptions of industrial modernity. We will explore the development of: * **Classical Capitalism**, championing private enterprise, markets, and industrial growth. * **Socialism**, arising as a critique of inequality, exploitation, and the social consequences of industrial capitalism. * **Georgism**, Henry George's influential proposal that economic justice could be achieved through land value taxation while preserving market incentives. * **Keynesianism**, developed in response to the failures of orthodox economics during the Great Depression and advocating active government management of demand and employment. * The early foundations of **Monetarism**, which challenged Keynesian approaches by emphasizing the central role of money, banking, and monetary stability in economic performance. The session also examines how economic thought and political power interacted with real-world events, including nationalism, colonialism, labour movements, technological transformation, the First World War, the Russian Revolution, the interwar period, and the Second World War. By understanding the conflicts, crises, empires, and ideas that shaped this remarkable century, participants will gain deeper insight into the origins of the modern global economy and the intellectual traditions that continue to influence debates about prosperity, inequality, growth, and governance today. | Join us for a fascinating exploration of a hundred years that reshaped the world and established the foundations of the economic and political order we inhabit today. | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |

Demystifying dispatch in the national electricity market workshop

The electricity grid is considered to be the largest and most complex machines humans have ever built. As soon as power is generated, it travels near the speed of light down transmission lines and is consumed almost instantly. Every time you flip a light switch, that delicate balance changes. To determine how power generation is split between different energy sources, an optimization algorithm must continuously weigh constraints and calculate the ideal energy mix in real time—a process repeated every 5 minutes, 24/7 in the Australian National Electricity Market. In this workshop, Dr. Jack Simpson will walk us through: * How this grid dispatch algorithm actually works * The surprising complexity and constraints involved in real-world energy markets * How these models are used to forecast future electricity infrastructure needs **What to Bring & Prerequisites** * Please bring a laptop to follow along * Basic Python knowledge will be helpful for the hands-on portion. **Media Consent** By attending this event, you consent to being photographed and recorded on video for future marketing and promotional purposes. If you have any concerns, please let the organizers know upon arrival. **Community** Join the conversation before and after the event on our Discord: [https://discord.gg/wPmp25Xnm5](https://discord.gg/wPmp25Xnm5)

Shifting Governance to Deliver Better Outcomes

**A portfolio can be on plan and still not be delivering value.** When governance conversations are dominated by project status, activity and keeping work on track, it can be difficult to keep the focus on the outcomes the work was intended to create. In this session, Narmada Natarajaperumal from Standard Chartered Bank will share their practical journey towards shifting portfolio governance from controlling activity to stewarding value. We’ll explore: * What changes when governance is focused on outcomes rather than outputs * How governance can be designed to support faster, clearer decision-making * What measures and signals will help us move sooner and safer towards value * Practical lessons from making the shift in a large, complex organisation If you’re involved in how organisations prioritise, govern and steer work, particularly across portfolio, PMO, strategy, transformation and product, this session is for you. There’ll be time after the presentation for Q&A – bring your colleagues and your questions. Speakers: **Narmada Natarajaperumal** \- Head\, Portfolio Strategy and Transformation for Cybersecurity and Financial Crime Portfolio\, Standard Chartered Bank\. Hosted by: **Ruma Dak** \- Senior Consultant\, BVSSH APAC
