Hello Everyone! This Monday, FIVE blockchain meetup groups are combining forces: Decentral (http://www.meetup.com/DEC_TECH/), Toronto Ethereum (http://www.meetup.com/torontoethereum/), Blockchain Toronto (http://www.meetup.com/Blockchain-Toronto/), Bitcoin Bay (http://www.meetup.com/Bitcoin-Bay/) & Canada Bitcoin Blockchain (http://www.meetup.com/CanadaBitcoin)!



Don't miss this one!



Bitcoin blockchain is an innovative payment network and a new kind of money. It uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority or banks; managing transactions and the issuing of bitcoins is carried out collectively by the network.



Bitcoin (http://bitcoin.org) is open-source; its design is public, nobody owns or controls it and everyone can take part. Through many of its unique properties, Bitcoin allows exciting uses that could not be covered by any previous payment system.



Ethereum (http://ethereum.org) is a public blockchain platform with programmable transaction functionality. It provides a decentralized virtual machine that can execute peer-to-peer contracts using a cryptocurrency called Ether.



To learn about bitcoin, visit bitcoin.org (http://bitcoin.org/), and to learn about ethereum, visit ethereum.org (http://ethereum.org/).
