Wicked Crypto Meetup #8

Wicked Crypto Meetup #8 will be special.

We are not only partnering up with LUNO to deliver more incredible events for our awesome community but also we have some really special guests.

On the super hot evening of 14th August, the star will be...CARDANO!!

Cardano is a fully open source, decentralized public blockchain which seeks to deliver more advanced features than any protocol previously developed. We are honoured.

At the very same event, Luno will announce (for the first time- PREMIERE!!) the results of their social experiment "ONE WEEK ON BITCOIN" and present their market research on the profile of the typical cryptocurrency user.

Exciting stuff, right?!

Yes, you want to be there.

• CARDANO

Based in Switzerland, Cardano Foundation is focused on five key areas:

1. To protect and evolve the Cardano ecosystem.

2. Shape Legislation and Commercial Standards.

3. Educate, grow and support the Cardano Community.

4. A Golden Source of Cardano protocol information.

5. Enterprise partnerships and commercial alliances.

We will have members from the Marketing and Community team speaking about the Foundation’s objectives and plans as well as how you can get more involved in the global community.

• LUNO

Luno is a cryptocurrency wallet and exchange with a presence in 40 countries across Europe, Asia and Africa, with almost 2 million users.

Luno believes that decentralised digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum will fundamentally change how the world views and uses money:

• cheaper, faster and safer transactions;
• more privacy and freedom;
• a significantly better user experience;
• and ultimately, more equality through giving everyone in the world access to the same financial system, no matter who they are or where they are from.
