Whether you consider yourself an expert on bitcoin and blockchain, or you just pretend to be at cocktail parties, you should attend this private dinner with Kathleen and Arthur Breitman, co-founders of Tezos. A decentralized blockchain company, Tezos’ aims to be a “new digital commonwealth.” Tezos goes above and beyond a regular blockchain with its ability to self-govern – meaning it can initiate innovation, reward creativity, and encourage participation.

Tezos' founders believe this type of blockchain has important implications for the future of fintech, especially surrounding bitcoin and government relations. If fintech can become more secure, more flexible, and more tailored to the needs of companies and individuals, then personal autonomy and creativity will flourish.
