We’re going to make ‘Melbourne the Blockchain Capital of the World‘ and its great to have AWS support us in this mission! Thank you Ian and AWS.
Now back to the event:
This event is for people new to Bitcoin and Blockchain technology and also those who want to explore a little deeper of whats happening in the rapidly evolving Bitcoin and Blockchain world.
We’ll be tapping into the experience and knowledge of a number of Bitcoin Melbourne community members who’ve been delivering presentations and workshops on Bitcoin and Blockchain technology for quite some time.
