Crypto in Ireland - Issue 9
This week we bring you some more news from Ireland as well as upcoming local events where you will be welcome to come and learn about Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies.
What is happening on the Irish Blockchain scene?
Weekly News
News and announcements were quiet this week but as usual we will bring you links to some local publications and meetup groups.
It is Tech Week in Dublin. On Wednesday and Thursday the Dublin Tech Summit is in town at the Conference center in Dublin. I was planning on attending but it's sold out.
This event will not be focused on Crypto but it would be interesting to hear about technology developments particularly in Industries such as finance where we will see Crypto featuring more and more.
As part of Dublin Tech Week (http://dublintechweek.com/events-programme) there are more events including an interesting one tonight at the Dutch Embassy. This will focuses on Blockchain and Fintech.
If you are going I would love to hear about your experience.

Thank you for reading this. I write on Steemit about Blockchain, Cryptocurrency and Travel.
i like your article
Adopting an industry-wide cryptocurrency makes it easier for any provider in the industry, from dentists to manufacturers, to price their goods and services. A single monetary unit also allows customers in the industry, both patients and dentists, to shop more easily for the most competitive price. This will drive costs down and increase the overall efficiency of the entire industry.
The main goal of the conference was related to crypto they should have focused on it rather than Industries which will boom because of crypto.
This will take a lot of time as money withdrawn takes time in crypto, so we can use it as ready cash like our bank ATM's.
lesson of business is that you do not take care of your customers, someone else will. This is why crypto is going to be successful. The global gold industry has done a horrible job taking care of the gold ornaments of the world so far. 90% or more of the total spent on gold services is wasted on fixing problems that could have easily been prevented...
thanks for u information brother

Thanks again E, what's your name man? Mine's Ciaran ;) I'm seeking more advice again if you don't mind, are you aware of any Cryptocurrency debit cards available to us in Ireland? Like one we can top up with crypto and spend in shop like it's fiat?
Hi Ciaran, I am Ed. There were some available but they stopped working a while back. I dont know of any ones that work at the moment.
Ahhh, I thought Ed or Eamon haha, thanks for the tips man, I'm on the search for one at the moment, I've found some that offer UK services but they don't mention Ireland.
