Come crypto chat with us

Happy Monday, Baltimore peeps. It’s another hot one today, but know what’s cool? This Wednesday, Aug. 10 at 4 p.m., I’ll be hosting an AMA in our Technical.ly Slack’s #AMA channel featuring some fun guests who are deep in the crypto/NFT/blockchain space. We’ll be talking about what drew them to the space (either for their jobs, or as a hobby) and why they think others should learn about it. We’ll also be hitting some of the quirky Web 3 aspects like why some folks go by anonymous usernames.

 

You can expect to hear from Erik Caputo, a project manager at Frontline Education and Web3 strategist, Dominic Folino, president of the PA Blockchain Coalition, Jake Voorhees, DeFi Philly cofounder, as well as the NFT Philly cofounders. Yes, it's a lot of Philly people, but Web3 enthusiasts from all of Technical.ly's markets are encouraged to participate and bring their own perspectives. I’ll be leading the live session, but feel free to jump in with your own questions, or your two cents!

 

If you’re not already a member of our Slack community, click here to join and you will be automatically added to our #AMA channel, as well as poised to further connect with the 4,000-plus members of our cross-market community.

 

Hope to see you there!
