Bitcoin Socratic Seminar #50
It's almost time for Bitcoin Socratic Seminar #50!
What is a Socratic Seminar?
Inspired by other BitDevs meetups around the US, our Socratic Seminar events are formatted to foster debate, information sharing and lively discussion.
- Discussion topics are provided ahead of the event
- The event moderator(s) leads the audience through the topics
- Raise your hand to grab the mic and participate in the conversation
- We go to a bar afterwards
We follow the Chatham House Rule at this event: you are free to use the information you receive, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed.
Logistics for Tonight
Tonight we'll be meeting at ATL BitLab. Join our telegram channel in case you need to ask for help finding us the night of the event.
