This blog series started out as a weekly newsletter for people interested in news from Ireland as well as upcoming local events where you will be welcome to come and learn about Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies. During 2018 I had a lot of time to produce this newsletter but I am finding less and less time these days due to commitments and life priorities, but it does seem like a good moment to resurrect it as there is a lot of interest at the moment. I am recently having more and more conversations with family and friends, Crypto is hitting the news very often.
Let me know your thoughts on this newsletter, what you would like to see and if anyone would like to be a contributor please reach out. I would love #hive to be the go to place for people entering the Crypto Space in #Ireland.
What is happening on the Irish Blockchain scene?
This week I will bring you an update from a Meetup I attended this evening.
Dublin Crypto Talks
Dublin Crypto Talks is a regular meetup that I have attended in person many times in the past. Tonights meeting was a virtual meeting celebrating Bitcoins 13th Birthiday, of the Genesis Block.
David the host of this meetup always produces a good talk and I really like this group as its not focused on Investing rather learning about Crypto and in particular Bitcoin.
Tonights Talk covered
- Proof of Keys Day #proofofkeys
- Promoting Bitcoin to Local Businesses #bitcoin1st #primerobitcoin
- Austrian Economics - Price going up is a feature of Bitcoin
- Reasons for latest price movements including Tax Harvesting
- Predictions for 2022 in particular from Nayib Bukele
- Hashrate resiliance in 2021 following Chinese Ban
- Size of OTC Trading in Bitcoin
- Miners daily Bitcoin Haul and how the network needs to absorb this
- Government and Institutional Investment in Bitcoin
- Bitcoin Adoption in El Salvador and how its playing out
It was a very thought provoking discussion and I would highly recommend this group particularly if your looking to learn about Crypto.
