At MLG we know that blockchain technology is the cutting edge of what it means to make a positive change in our future, and we are constantly inspired by that thought. But last Wednesday, that source of energy and enthusiasm was reflecting back at us, from over one hundred and seventy-five blockchain enthusiasts gathered for our first MLG x TRON Montreal meet-up.

If the developers, marketers, engineers, entrepreneurs and thought leaders that sold out venue at 3 Place Ville Marie are a representation of our growing community then we are in for a truly wild ride. The event, “Learn How To Get Involved In Blockchain,” hosted two speakers prepared to answer questions from simple to technical.

The first was Ethan Wilding, the founder of L4 Ventures and co-founder of Ledger Labs, and a founding team member of Ethereum. Ethan was formerly the Resident Philosopher at Ethereum, and has served as the Chair of the Certified Bitcoin Professional exam. Wilding spoke on differentiating between what blockchain “is” and how blockchain can be used, or what can be built on blockchain technology.

Attendee Pierre Thodoroff, M. Sc., was “impressed by the number of people that came to the event, and really enjoyed hearing insights from Ethan,” Thodoroff listened to “the big idea behind Ethereum and what it’s potential could be in the future,” straight from the source.

The second speaker was our very own Michael Gord, the founder and CEO of Blockchain Canada and MLG Blockchain. This was one of Gord’s many global events that help newcomers into the world of blockchain, and he spoke about TRON, a pioneer blockchain company and its prospects in this fast-evolving space.
