Hey, Las Vegas crypto lovers, see you tonight at G.O.A.T. for our first On Tap meetup in Las Vegas. Join us for an evening of brews, bitcoin and blockchain.
The event will be held at G.O.A.T. Sports Bar in Las Vegas and starts at 6 p.m. on Jan. 8. We'll close up at around 8 p.m. but we'll be around to chat after the event. There is no formal agenda, just some networking. The G.O.A.T. is at 3805 West Sahara Avenue.
If you'd like to join us please RSVP. We're also looking forward to exploring the Vegas crypto scene next week at CES and if you'd like to chat please email me at [email protected]. We'll be in LV all week and are looking for cool crypto companies to interview.
We will also be attending the Digital Money Forum on Jan. 7 where we'll be interviewing some of the luminaries in the space. Look for our coverage and say "Hi" when you see us at the show.
Special thanks to the Las Vegas Bitcoin Meetup and the Las Vegas Crypto Meetup for joining forces on this event and helping us gather the crypto lovers in Vegas.
