Event Description: The last decade has seen blockchain technology grow from an anarchic financial experiment to a global engine for organizational and societal revolution.

We will chart the path from pre-Bitcoin computer science breakthroughs, to Bitcoin and the rise of alternative currencies, through Ethereum and the rise of smart contracts, arriving at the present day explosion of tokens, enterprise networks, and decentralized applications.

Whether you are a developer building for the future of the Internet or a curious enthusiast making sense of the hype, this session will help you understand why blockchain technology just might be the next great coordinating tool for humanity.

In this session we will:
Explore the history of blockchains
Explain the technology that make blockchains possible
Examine exciting new decentralized applications that use blockchain technology to change the world.
