There's a new short prompt available on trello that's updated before the meeting. Try and post a response a few days before meeting if you want others a chance to comment on it. Thanks to trello, you don't have to make it to the meeting to participate.

Hello folks


2017 has been a smashing year for the blockchain industry. 2018 is going to be even bigger! Get ready for 2018! Three preeminent Blockchain projects from around the world will speak to the audience about how they are disrupting entire industries with blockchain applications.


About Capital Coin: Global Tour to unleash blockchain led paradigm shift in Capital Markets


Arifa Khan, a former investment banker with Credit Suisse and UBS has embarked on her global DGCAMP tour to disrupt traditional Investment Banking industry with Blockchain and Smart Contract led Fintech Innovation. She is Ethereum India Partner.

Through the DGCAMP platform, she intends to bring transparency to the global capital market ecosystem which would empower both asset issuers and investors to discover and conduct transactions in a transparent manner. This would shake up the $66 trillion-dollar global securities market backed by cozy investment bankers.


The innovation would usher a beginning of a new era with no role for intermediaries. The platform would knit a core blockchain led infrastructure that would open immense possibilities - Digital IPO, Start-ups raising Venture and Private Equity capital, Corporate Bond Issuance, M&A’s and Cross-Border Transactions, Governments issuing Treasuries and other infrastructure bonds – that without paying a hefty fee to Investment Banks!


The technology driven platform would open a channel for the best minds in Asset Management and Investment Banking industry to design innovative applications adding value to both investors and capital seekers. This would be a Google, Apple moment for the Financial Services Industry! And an Uber moment for Investment Banking! Arifa had a successful tour Sep-Dec 2017 : Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Kiev, Brussels, Paris , Seoul, Mexico, Davos, Zug, Chennai, Macau, Kualalumpur. She has been meeting Bitcoin and Blockchain community, potential investors, market participants, strategic partners and potential team members in order to build a user community for Capital Coin.

Shanghai Fun

Women in Technology Networking



When: Friday, January 19, 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Address: TBD

Price: FREE 

RSVP: https://www.meetup.com/Shanghai-fun/events/238315166/


It can be intimidating for women to learn and ask questions when they are in an extreme minority. While open and welcoming, today's technology community is of majority male. There isn't a comfortable place where women can learn at their own pace and not be afraid to ask "stupid questions." We decided it was time to provide a place where all questions are OK and everyone can learn in a supportive environment.
