Continuing the discussion from Introductions - Come and say hello and introduce yourself!:

Introductions - Come and say hello and introduce yourself!

So far I have been following the developments of the Co-op from the antipodes and I am really excited at the prospect of meeting some of you in Sydney in early November and hearing all about future developments. (I see from the newsletter that the Sydney event is TBA — happy to help out with organisation etc. in any way I can. I also have experience in events production)

Here in Sydney I have been involved with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, as miner, supporter, general enthusiast (I am not a programmer but I enjoy tinkering). I do believe that the blockchain has the structure in place to redesign finance away from debt and toward a redistribution of wealth, though I have been very disappointed by the way things are turning out for crypto, and I am hoping to discuss these issues with you all and contribute to the creation of distributed collaborative networks.

Hey @lotti will try and get the dates locked down here - but have pulled this thread across so we have a home for talking about the organisation and the content of the event!

Fantastic – thank you @danielhassan. Looking forward to it!

Hello again – really excited to meet @Akseli at the Digital Infrastructures and Economy Symposium and Masterclasses in Sydney next week!

Also, I was wondering whether you would be interested in talking about Robin Hood 2.0 at a local Bitcoin meetup? I mentioned RH to one of the organisers last week and she was very interested. They meet Wednesday evenings. Many apologies for the minuscule notice! Depending on how long you are in town, let me know if this is something you’d be interested in?

Lastly, please let me know if you’re planning and other Syd events; happy to help out.

Hi Lotti,

In the event Akseli cannot - I will be in Sydney from 15th of nov for a week, and then will be there throughout the whole of January.

Would be happy to do some events in Sydney if you want to help organize them!

Hi @lotti ! Good idea, that would be fun! Do you know what time would that be? Though, I just got a message from Ned that there is a dinner on Wed evening… Let’s talk about this tomorrow? I arrived only today and my head is still spinning, what’s the country, what’s the currency, what’s the timezone

Hi @danielhassan and @Akseli , that’s great!

Akseli - welcome to Sydney! The Bitcoin meetups are on Wednesdays from 6pm… Either way, let’s talk about it tomorrow. Hope you’re not too jet lagged : )

Daniel - great you’ll be in Sydney too. Please get in touch when you’re in town, happy to help organise some events here, either from mid Nov or January.

See you guys soon!
