Nebulas Silicon Valley Meetup with 500 Startups
This will be the 1st Nebulas meetup in Silicon Valley in 2018.
Come meet Nebulas founder Hitters Xu and Nebulas advisors Edith Yeung and Chris McCann and get free Nebulas hoodies, stickers and posters!
Blockchain and cryptocurrencies have become a technological and monetary revolution. The total cryptocurrency market capitalization exceeds $500B in December 2017 and the market is still in its infancy. We believe cryptocurrencies and organizations built on blockchains are here to stay and will become a common investment asset class and value transfer vehicle.
In this panel discussion, you will learn about:
- The blockchain ecosystem in Asia & more about the Nebulas project
- How the China ICO ban (in September) affected the ecosystem
- The role of ICO’s in blockchain companies and how to structure an ICO correctly
- The current trends in the blockchain ecosystem today (scaling, privacy, decentralized exchanges, etc)
