💥 THIS MONTH'S MEETUP - Let's look at cold storage for crypto—and beyond. Marcus Taplin of @deepfreezedata presents about a counter-trend to today's era of cloud computing. Perhaps a complement to this trend, he discusses the importance of offline (cold) storage for data.

"3, 2, 1..." 🏃‍♂️‍➡️ And we're off! Last night's star of the show, @MarcusTaplin, introduced many attendees to the "3-2-1" concept of data storage: THREE total copies of data, stored on TWO different media types, with ONE copy kept off-site.

LIVE look at tonight's Spotlight Meetup starring Alejandro Falabella with the @umnblockchain and Marcus Taplin (pictured) with @deepfreezedata. "We're offline, on purpose," said Marcus kicking off the presentation on data autonomy.
