Throwback of the Day:
Dan's EOS interview for Epicenter podcast is a great overview of the tech, economic, and governance aspects of the blockchain. Some small details have changed since August 2017 (for example, from 3 second block times to 0.5 seconds) but this video mostly focuses on core features that are still relevant:
Go EOS!
What is EOS Go?
We are dedicated to uniting the community towards launching EOS in June 2018, a potentially historic and world-changing event.
Software company block.one is creating EOS.IO and releasing it as open source code; thousands of individuals will need to come together to bring this new "internet of value" to life.
How to Get Involved:
Telegram - Forums - Community Announcements - Twitter - YouTube
I saw that reddit post as well. So many sheep parroting each other thinking it's a scam because of legal terms written in the ICO. So many uninformed people. Oh well, come June 1st they'll be having deep regrets not buying in at these current prices..
LOL! That South Park refrence has left me in tears :'-D
It's good to see someone going through the thousands of telegram messages each day to find the most interesting content. Good work :)
Your content is very good, I love it
Thank you, we're very proud to be part of this "extremely enthusiastic community".
Keep up !!!
I can't believe how many uninformed people there are in the Reddit "Let's talk about EOS" thread. I'm shocked that everyone still thinks EOS is a scam yet they know nothing about EOS being its own blockchain platform. They're still complaining about the EOS ERC20 token not having any uses when it was mainly used for fundraising purposes. They know nothing about the VC projects or anything the community has discussed at the meetups or that EOS has billions of dollars of development behind it. EOS has REAL projects behind it. Not some unusable Crypto Kitties shit that makes the entire plaform unusable. They are so far behind that they aren't going to know what hit them when EOS eventually takes over Ethereum.
Thanks for these updates. It is hard for me to keep up with everything that's going on so it's great that you are distilling it down to the important points. It is also great to see Dan so active in the community.
Yeah, the EOS Atlanta thing came out of left field.
