What the hell is the blockchain and how does it work??

in #blockchain9 years ago

That's the question on a lot of people's lips, especially if you're new to all this and even if you're not so new, there's certainly a learning curve with this emerging (and potentially HUGE) technology. 

I watched a couple of TED Talks this morning that may help a little. I'm sure there are many others (and other resources) but I thought I'd share them here in case anyone gleans anything from them, or pushes them to learn more. 

First up, Bettina Warburg - blockchain researcher, entrepreneur and educator:

And here's Richie Etwaru - Fortune 500 Chief Digital Officer and 'blockchain revolutionary':

Together they may help provide a little more understanding and fill in a few gaps... they'll probably even present more questions! One thing's for sure - it'll certainly be an exciting time watching the future develop.

What do you think? And do you have any great resources on blockchain, both simple and more advanced? Some great stuff on Steemit of course, so feel free to drop links below... and any other non-Steemit resources if you have them.

Thanks!
