Hello Web3 Texas Members! Our next event will be sponsored by JP Morgan Chase &Co and will be hosted at the Plano Headquarters. Big thanks to JP Morgan Chase &Co, Sourabh Sanghi & Carley Nickerson for sponsoring the event space, food and beverages! What's it all about: Do you know what a digital (crypto) wallet is? Maybe you purchased some crypto or bought an NFT, on the whim of a YouTube or TikTok video or maybe a family member or friend showed you how. In order to have purchased that crypto or NFT, let’s call them “digital assets”, it very likely that you created what’s called a digital wallet, or more commonly referred to as a crypto wallet. The reality of the future is that in order to participate in the next version of the Web, aka Web3, you WILL need a digital wallet, just as you need a browser or app to access the internet today. Little do many know, self-custody of these digital assets in one’s digital wallet poses a significant risk, if one does not know how to manage and secure the digital wallet. In keeping with our mission, Web3 Texas will be presenting on this very topic at a very foundational level.

Join Web3 Texas in DALLAS in partnership with the Texas Blockchain Council and sponsored by Toyota Connected and PizzaDAO for a special meetup as we celebrate the iconic Bitcoin Pizza Day on the 22nd of May! Come and share your love for Bitcoin, blockchain, and, of course, pizza, with fellow enthusiasts and industry professionals. What's the significance of Bitcoin Pizza Day, you ask? On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer from Florida, made history when he purchased two pizzas for 10,000 Bitcoins, marking the first-ever recorded transaction for a tangible item using Bitcoin. Back then, 10,000 Bitcoins were worth approximately $41, but today, they are valued at millions of dollars. This event is seen as a pivotal moment in the history of Bitcoin, as it demonstrated its potential as a means of payment and paved the way for its adoption as a widely-accepted digital currency. To honor this momentous occasion, we have planned an evening filled with exciting activities, including: 1. A brief history of Bitcoin Pizza Day and its impact on the Web3 industry. 2. Networking opportunities with like-minded individuals, entrepreneurs, and experts in the Web3 space. 3. A delicious variety of pizzas to enjoy, as we reminisce about the legendary transaction that started it all. Whether you're a seasoned Bitcoin enthusiast or just getting started in the world of Web3, this meetup is the perfect opportunity to connect, learn, and celebrate the spirit of innovation!

The aim of the event is to educate the technical basics of blockchain. You might come across different lingos about blockchain like smart contract, mining, consensus algorithms, staking, block size and more. Well then, this class is going to teach you all of them. This will help you get the technical insights as well understand how the technology actually works. Come with your questions and ideas and lets keep building the web3 community and how the future of tech is moving forward.
