If you have been following investing, finance, cryptocurrency or just technology in general for the past decade, you have heard of blockchain. In fact, a 1,000 USD spent to purchase 3.801 BTC in June 2015 is worth $34,936.89 in June 2020, a considerable gain of 3493%. In this talk, we go over blockchain, the building blocks behind all the Bitcoins and Ethereum and we internalise why it’s deemed to be a technology of the future. We look at the use cases around bitcoin before we get to our two main use cases: finance and currencies. We see why banks and the finance industry are going gaga over blockchains and why it is so secure.
