“ETH CENTİLMENİ”ETH gentilmeni dedim çünkü gerçekten öyledir kendileri. Türkiye'de -blokzincir- alanında teknik okur yazarlığı , kullanıcı diline aktarmayı başaran naçizane bir kaç kişiden biridir. Blockchain adına yaptıkları Türkiye'ye dönük pozitif etkinlikler sayesinde de güzel bir imaj bıraktığını düşünüyorum. Eğer sorunuz varsa , web3 içerisinde bir konu hakkında farklı bir yorum duymak isterseniz ulaşılabilir biridir kendisi. Katma değerleri için teşekkür ederim
