Quotes:
- “The goal in starting it [Crypto Curry Club] was I wanted to build a network and find out what other people were doing. And that wasn’t going to be possible at any other event. So, I figured, “If I’m running my own events, then I can choose who gets to come and get all the best people coming to me.”
Erica on booking a restaurant the same night she came up with the Crypto Curry Club idea
- “It was a good idea. The worst thing that could have happened was that nobody showed and I had to embarrassingly call the restaurant to cancel. So there was no real risk.”
- “I rented out an Indian restaurant that same night I thought of the idea and invited some leaders of blockchain companies and some senior people.”
