Bitcoin For The Rest of Us

On February 18th, 2015 the Project: OWL Lounge at 20 Camden Street in downtown Toronto was packed for the return of #DrinksDemos, an event series hosted by Project: SPACES and focused on tackling issues relevant to startup founders and anyone with an interest in entrepreneurship.

The topic was Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency that has been a constant source of controversy and intrigue since it’s inception in 2009. The goal? To demystify with world of Bitcoin - How does block chain technology work? Why is it this trend so disruptive? And what does it mean for the future of currency?

The panel, moderated by SPACES Cofounder, Jeffrey Howard, included Gerald Cotten, Founder/CEO of QuadrigaCX (the largest Bitcoin exchange in Canada), Anthony Di Iorio, Founder of Decentral, Ethereum and several other companies, Alex Ianus, Software Engineer at Coinbase, and William Mougayar, Founder of Startup Management.

The event also included a demo by Jamie Robinson, Chairman/CEO of QuickBT. Jamie walked the audience through his product, and also provided an excellent overview for those just getting acquainted with the Bitcoin space.
