What is a Monthly Q&A Community Builder Livestream?
Once a month, Andreas answers community questions on anything related to Bitcoin, Ethereum, the Lightning Network, really anything related to open blockchains. He’s live on YouTube for about an hour, answering the best questions asked by Community Builders on Patreon, Community Members on YouTube, and anyone who shows up during the event.

How can I ask questions and vote?
