Cryptocurrency meetups are becomig more common.
I decided to go to the first meetup (as far as i know) in Princeton.
I got here late and already met some cool people and am now looking forward to the talks that will be given.
The place is pretty packed given that this is the first of its kind.
UPDATE:
The panel expert think that bitcoin is bad technology relative to its competitors and will not make it long term due to technological issues but is a fantastic tool to trade.
Interestingly if one does not believe in decentralization bitcoin has little value. Mhhhh
