EOS Telegram chats haven't quite reached the level of fire they were on during the end of December, despite EOS general chat roaring past 18k members today. EOS BlockPros was the most active sub-chat, where they had an involved and inspiring conversation about a range of topics; more on that below.
But first: shortly after midnight in the wee hours of January 3 came a visit from Dan - much to the surprise of night owls lurking:

More power:

And to conclude, a note about Bitcoin from the BlockPros:
This sort of summary of daily EOS chat events is perfect for me- subscribed and thumbed up.
Thank you @ikegass33 - we'll continue providing daily summaries so everyone can stay up to date. Go EOS!
Year long ICO was an amazing idea. Extend development for a year on the back of your largest competitor while simultaneously defending against whales from scooping up all the tokens.
