Singularityu London

Our next session in the Blockchain Series is on How to evaluate an ICO and invest in cryptocurrencies. It is meant to help get the cryptic effect out of our understanding of cryptocurrencies. The goal of the session will be to go through the concept of an ICO and why blockchain is so central to it. And how to differentiate between all these ICOs and the c. 1,600 different currencies that are currently out there.
Come and join us on Wednesday, 6th May 6.30pm WeWork Moorgate

Hype is all around us and at the center are these words we love throwing around e.g. blockchain, distributed ledger technology, decentralization, crypto, etc.
Two of our friends and credible blockchain educators will be removing the mystery from this tech and lifting the cover to some of its weaknesses...
Come join us at WeWork for an interactive talk that will have two-way communication and thought provocative activities.
