Blockchain for Dummies #2

Blockchain, cryptocurrency, ledgers and consensus: technologies hyped as either the new Web 3.0 or a dream. What do they really do? How can you assess whether these technologies are right for your startup? Which aspects do I need to know and what I should apply to my startup, or watch out for in my potential competitors?

Come hear about Blockchain, and the New Economy: A very clear tour of the often confusing and disrupting concepts of blockchain and bitcoin. We look at how the economy works today (the use of middlemen). What is Blockchain. What is Bitcoin. Why are there other cryptocurrencies and how did they come to light. The differences between public and private (enterprise/government) blockchains.
