There were three reasons “Why We Started CryptoMondays”:

1. To give back to the NYC crypto Community

2. To give back to the global crypto community & the rest of the world

3. To build our own decentralized organization

The inaugural CryptoMondays was held in NYC on January 8th, 2018. Over 300 people showed up at Bagatelle for the event.

The second CryptoMondays NYC the following week, had 350+ attendees and three TV crews. Little did we know that Crypto winter had already begun. But all through Crypto winter, CryptoMondays continued to grow organically. CryptoMondays L.A., our second city, started on January 29th. Today there are 15,000+ members in 53 CryptoMondays around the world

1. A CryptoMondays Global Member NFT — Allows us to directly reward the community on a global basis

2. A CryptoMondays NYC or London Member NFT- Allows us to reward members on a city by city basis.

3. An Event Specific NFT for the July 29th event in the city where you attended — allows us to reward members for attending a specific event

4. NFT Ticket(s) — Representing the rewards. As our NFTs are put in to wallets, we’ll be able airdrop rewards to our members. So in addition to the first three NFTs above, each of the CryptoMondays attendees in NYC received an NFT that can be redeem a one month free trial of Genesis, The Block’s awesome premium service.

The NFT remains “un-torn” if it is not redeemed. If it is redeemed, the NFT will be “torn”, and be represented by the graphic on the right above.

Step #3- Deploy A Viable Governance & Consensus Mechanism
