Blockchain in Finance featuring Beam!

Distributed ledger technologies (similar to Bitcoin) have attracted hundreds of millions of dollars in VC money. The ability to transfer wealth to anyone in the world without an intermediary through a decentralized ecosystem of trust, has been described by many as the greatest innovation of our time. However, just like the Internet - we must grow and continue to invent as better solutions and projects emerge.

Come join us on Tuesday, March 12th at the 200 Elm Street BLT Offices from 6:00-8:30pm to learn more the potential impact of blockchain technology on finance as well as Mimblewimble and Beam! Food and drinks will be provided.

For more on Beam and its ingenious underlying protocol:
Mimblewimble is a protocol that was proposed by an anonymous user in a Bitcoin developer forum. The developer left an air of mystery and a link detailing his thoughts on how he could improve Bitcoin through privacy and scalability upgrades. The paper evolved and a few groups of prominent developers picked up where the paper left off, ultimately forming the 2 major implementations of Mimblewimble: 1) Beam 2) Grin.
