Learn about Smart Contracts on the Ethereum Blockchain

• What we'll do
With a market cap of $115B, Ethereum is the second leading cryptocurrency behind Bitcoin. Ethereum has a virtual machine and web server in each node that allows it to execute smart contracts (or business logic). Effectively, this means that the Ethereum blockchain has all of the benefits of Bitcoin (digital scarcity, borderless value, etc), with the added benefit of hosting software applications, or Distributed Applications (Dapps). At this Meetup, I'll present the concept of smart contracts, and we will walk through the development and deployment of one. We'll create a multi-beneficiary ether trust fund to illustrate just the tip of the iceberg of how this technology is disrupting so many industries. We'll be using MetaMask, Remix, and Solidity, and we can discuss ERC20 tokens, ICOs, or any other crypto / blockchain related topics.
