This upcoming Thursday (April 16, 2020 at 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM EDT), @yabapmatt is leading a virtual fireside chat as part of the Philly Blockchain Tech meetup.
Here are the meetup details and twitter announcement.
I'm not the organizer, just a meetup member. Thanks Ben DiFrancesco and Ryan Findley for organizing (P.S. if you'd like me to make you or the meetup a Hive account, happy to do so).
Super excited! Really an awesome opportunity to hear about the fork from the perspective of a leading community witness and major Steem/Hive stakeholder and developer.
Meetup details below:
As organizers of this community, Ryan and Ben hope everyone out there is staying safe, staying health, and staying home. In the midst of these unprecedented global lockdowns, Philly Blockchain Tech hopes to give you some measure of connection to the Philly community.
In that light, we're excited to announced our first ever online-only event: "The Hostile Takeover of the Steem Blockchain," a virtual fireside chat with Matt Rosen.
If you've been to our events, you probably know Matt. He's a prolific blockchain entrepreneur and a force in the Steem community. That community recently went through a dramatic split that may set important precedents with regards to decentralized governance of blockchain networks. Unsurprisingly, Matt was at the center of what transpired.
In this digital meetup, Matt will chat with organizers Ben and Ryan about the split, who will also be sourcing questions from the community. We're extremely excited to have Matt tell this story firsthand. It should be fascinating!
