Short description: Polkadot Meetup in China
8btc.com (the proponent) hosted a Polkadot meetup in Hangzhou, China.
8btc is one of earliest and biggest crypto media in China. 8btc was founded by Changjia and Jihan Wu in 2011, and translated the very first Chinese version of bitcoin whitepaper. 8btc is an information and education platform for crypto users and people interested in cryptos in China. In 2016, 8btc English News was founded to act as a bridge between Chinese and foreign communities.
8btc is also a host of Hangzhou Blockchain Week and World Blockchain Conference, which will be held every year. Besides these two conferences, 8btc will host plenty of meetups with different themes every year. Chainge is the name we gave to tech-related meetups, which is also for the Polkadot meetup we are about to host. Chainge has seen most famous blockchain teams in China joined in, including IRISnet, Nervos and PlatOn.
As a validating node of Polkadot, 8btc appreciates what Polkadot brings to the blockchain world and Web3 development. Though Polkadot is already a well-known project in China, most people know little about the related tech and what Polkadot can bring to the blockchain revolution.
So the meetup named ‘Polkadot and the Trust World it Brings’ will get more people to truly learn about what Polkadot is and will be, instead of pure speculation. Hangzhou is only our first station, there will be more in different cities of China.
The meetup was from 1:30pm to 5:00pm, on Sep. 12th (GMT+8). Entrance was free and there were more than 130 people to attend the meetup.

Pls feel free to ask me anything. Thanks!

Head of 8btc English News
