The Crypto Divas

I came across a new yourtube channel this week by two names that are deeply involved in the Irish Blockchain Scene; Morgan Pierce and Jillian Godsil @jilliangodsil.

This show is about 10 minutes and covers local and global events of the last week.

• There are some interesting discussion points such as the ICO of the Irish company Blocknubie as well as the Binance hack and a personal perspective on those events by Jillian Godsil.
• Anyone who has some Crypto will have noticed the drop in the markets in the last week. Morgan gives some perspective on contributors to the events of the last week relating to tightening regulation.
