Crypto in Ireland - Issue 2

I will be attending the Trinity Business & Technology Forum this week, but I will also be checking out what is being announced in Barcelona where the 2018 Mobile World Congress is running.

Will 2018 be there year where Blockchain goes mobile and mainstream?

This series of weekly newsletters cover what is happening on the Dublin & Irish Blockchain scene.

Weekly News

Last week I attended two events in Dublin:

The Blockchain Association of Ireland Meetup

This was an event hosted at the law offices of Arthur Cox and covered aspect of the Legal and Regulatory implications for Crypto and Blockchain in Ireland. This was a really interesting evening and provided great insights and perspectives from 3 senior partners of the Firm. There was active discussion and I really got a lot out of this event.
