Tomorrow I will be holding a class for my friends about cryptocurrencies - what should i focus on?
Hey Steemians,
The interest of cryptocurrencies are just larger and larger and with that I have a few friends who want's to learn what it's all about and how they can get in to it and hopefully make a profit. With that they asked me to hold a "class" for them and it will be a "Cryptocurrencies for dummies" kind of style where I plan to talk about and show off some of the following things:
- Whats is a blockchain (Just brief short overview and not going in too many technical details)
- What kind of currencies are out there (maybe top 5? Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dash, Litecoin etc)
- How to buy in to crypto with fiat money (showing of Coinbase, Bitstamp)
- Talk about the different wallets and how to manage funds (Talk about private key vs public key and security)
- Show of exchanges like Poloniex, Bittrex and how it works
- Showing of Steemit and applications running on blockchains.
This is just a few topics I have thought about and do any steemians have any input or ideas that would be of great value for newcomers in to Cryptospace that I missed ? Would love your feedback.
Thanks in advance,
Timmy
i did something within a group during one of my course in college. (basically i talked for whole class) 3 years ago.
since most audience are beginners, focus mainly about bitcoin and blockchain.
how it works, price, impact to the world and future development of it.
you going to face lots ppl ask about silk road(at least was hottest thing 3 yrs ago), black market shit. make sure you have the knowledge to answer those questions.
ofc in end talk about steemit.

Thanks for your input @syn999 definetly good adviceto mention stuff like silkroad and the mt. gox hack and so on.
This is a great idea! I would suggest to add some big organizations, who everybody will know, that are experimenting and implementing blockchain technology like IBM, UN, Toyota, ...
Exellente point @Skririm thanks !
