We’ve been planning another AMA, and this time, the guest is spicy—Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder and creator of Ethereum!\nCome join on Thursday, February 3rd at 8pm ET! 🎉\n\n👀 If you’ve never heard of Vitalik before, don’t stress out! Here’s the TL;DR of this incredible hacker, designer, and developer working on the future of currency and computers:\n- He was a part of the 2014 class of Thiel Fellows (the same program that Hack Club was in!)\n- 📚 Before that, he studied CS at the University of Waterloo, where he worked under people like Ian Goldberg on security research, and even won a medal in the IOI!\n- Vitalik’s also the youngest crypto billionaire ever, and immigrated to Canada alongside his family at 8!\n@Claire and I are so excited to be hosting. To help think about some questions, check out some talks he’s given at TechCrunch Disrupt and CoinTelegraph!\n\nEthereum is a pretty abstract concept — if you’d like a primer on what crypto/blockchain exactly is (and how Ethereum fits in), feel free to join our Intro to Crypto call on Feb 1, at 8pm ET hosted by @christina, @msw ඞ and me! We’ll start off at the very beginning — discussing what, why, and how all the blocks get chained up, and answering questions.

He’s made over 28 original songs and covers ranging from original compositions “5AM in Silicon Valley” to “sufficiently advanced democracy is indistinguishable from trolling.”\n👓Want to learn more about him?

I’ll share some interesting facts about her, so you can come prepared with some pretty amazing questions:\n\n- She is an Emmy-nominated independent video journalist on YouTube.\n\n-On her show, Huge If True, she explores technology topics with rigor and optimism, helping her audience understand and appreciate the wonderful world of tech we at HC love so much.\n\n- Before going independent, Cleo was a video producer for Vox. She also wrote Coding And Diamonds episodes of Vox’s Netflix Show Explained. \n\n- She has sparked so much positivity around cool stuff like Boston Dynamics’ Atlas, Quantum Computers, Plastic-Eating Worms and sooo much more stuff I possibly couldn’t do justice here.\n\nSo, Hack Club, what will YOU ask her?","leader":"Arpan, Syna, Kartikey","cal":"https://www.google.com/calendar/render?action=TEMPLATE&text=AMA%20with%20Cleo%20Abram&details=hellooooo%20everyone!\n\nMe,%20@Syna%20and%20@cskartikey%20are%20super%20excited%20to%20announce%20that%20we%20will%20be%20hosting%20Cleo%20Abram%20for%20a%20Hack%20Club%20AMA,%20on%20Saturday,%20Mar%2023,%202024%20at%2011%20AM%20EST%20/%203%20PM%20UTC%20/%208:30%20PM%20IST.\n\nAnd%20believe%20me,%20when%20I%20say%20excited,%20I%20mean%20we’re%20hackin’%20stoked%20to%20have%20y'all%20join%20us…%20so%20be%20very%20sure%20to%20RSVP%20by%20filling%20out%20the%20form%20here.\n\nHaven’t%20heard%20of%20Cleo?%20Well,%20first%20of%20all,%20I%20really%20don’t%20believe%20you.%20I’ll%20share%20some%20interesting%20facts%20about%20her,%20so%20you%20can%20come%20prepared%20with%20some%20pretty%20amazing%20questions:\n\n-%20She%20is%20an%20Emmy-nominated%20independent%20video%20journalist%20on%20YouTube.\n\n-On%20her%20show,%20Huge%20If%20True,%20she%20explores%20technology%20topics%20with%20rigor%20and%20optimism,%20helping%20her%20audience%20understand%20and%20appreciate%20the%20wonderful%20world%20of%20tech%20we%20at%20HC%20love%20so%20much.\n\n-%20Before%20going%20independent,%20Cleo%20was%20a%20video%20producer%20for%20Vox.%20She%20also%20wrote%20Coding%20And%20Diamonds%20episodes%20of%20Vox’s%20Netflix%20Show%20Explained.%20\n\n-%20She%20has%20sparked%20so%20much%20positivity%20around%20cool%20stuff%20like%20Boston%20Dynamics’%20Atlas,%20Quantum%20Computers,%20Plastic-Eating%20Worms%20and%20sooo%20much%20more%20stuff%20I%20possibly%20couldn’t%20do%20justice%20here.\n\nSo,%20Hack%20Club,%20what%20will%20YOU%20ask%20her?%0AHack%20Club%20Event%20by%20Arpan,%20Syna,%20Kartikey&location=&dates=20240323T150000Z%2F20240323T160000Z","start":"2024-03-23T15:00:00Z","end":"2024-03-23T16:00:00Z","youtube":null,"ama":true,"amaForm":false,"amaId":"","amaAvatar":"https://cdn.hackclub.com/019c3938-8360-7510-9cd5-f32bab5b1895/1UdYbtszLz02Kpxbc-yZRsk5d0Yd4rxwD2fV5ucPm7c","avatar":"https://cachet.dunkirk.sh/users/UM1L1C38X/r","approved":true},{"id":"7ac92871-ad6d-4a65-b6ee-e6697d6572fe","slug":"ama-with-dave-padilla","title":"AMA with Dave Padilla","desc":"Join us this Friday, April 5th at 7 PM EST to meet with Dave Padilla.
