Blockchain Technology Crash Course

Written by Introbooks Team

Narrated by Andrea Giordani

The internet has a short history when compared to the time that we have had life on earth. But in this very short period of time, it has taken mankind by a storm. There have been several transformation on the way we transact, and communicate since the time internet was developed. The manner in which we maintain a record of transactions and contracts create the basics of our economic, legal and political system. These instruments help us in protecting our assets and setting organizational boundaries. The record of every transaction or contract helps in the establishment and verification of identities as well as in chronicling events. They oversee the interactions between nations, organizations, communities and individuals.

This explains that they are extremely critical tools and they must be managed very effectively and in a highly robust manner to ensure that no one tampers with these records. We have not been able to keep up with technology in the management of these records. And at this time, while most of the companies are looking for processes and methods and some have even established certain tools that can govern the management of such records; but for most part of it, these records are still limited when it comes to their security and management. In a world that is undergoing digital transformation, the way in which we regulate and maintain administrative control requires transformation too.

This is where Blockchain can help. The technology comes with a lot of promise and it surely has the ability to solve a number of underlying problems when it comes to the proper administration of transactions and contracts. Blockchain is built into the core of Bitcoin and is currently used by a number of other cryptocurrencies as well.

Very good explanation of the pros and cons of blockchain technology. Written in a simple to understand way. Note that this is about blockchain technology and not cryptocurrencies per se.
