The first meetup on cryptocurrency and blockchain technology in Belarus’s history will be held in the country’s capital of Minsk on April 21, 2016.
The participants will meet to discuss the most burning issues of the industry along with the most interesting projects. The event will also provide them with an opportunity to get to know their like-minded peers and to talk with the industry’s experts.
