Topic: Cryptocurrency, Blockchain and Their Business Applications
The new entrepreneurial technology ventures like to describe themselves as “disruptive.” Among them, no technology today is as potentially revolutionary as the cryptocurrencies and the blockchain. These new systems can be the game changers for conventional money, payments, and record-keeping. Most importantly, they challenge the conventional role of trust in transactions.
In this talk, we will walk through the history of cryptocurrency, discuss blockchain’s interdisciplinary nature, and learn some insights from academic research.
