Weekly News

Last week there were several stand out events taking place in Dublin.

Andreas Antonopoulos visited Dublin for the first time and addressed a packed theatre in UCD, before going for drinks afterwards.
This was a really thought provoking evening.

On Thursday EOSVIBES and EOS Dublin presented their proposals to a large group at the Huckletree in the Academy on Pearse Street. You can read more about the event and EOSVIBES on Steemit:

Blockchain

Getting wide and diverse views is the best way in my opinion to get a real understanding of something new. This article by John O Sullivan of 3, gives an interesting take on Blockchain.
