Blockchains are on their way towards mass adoption, especially in the B2B world.
On the other hand, I'm often surprised by the amount of people who have no idea of what a blockchain (or a cryptocurrency) is, even inside technical communities, including generalist developer communities...
For this reason, I think it´s useful to have handy a few "Blockchain 101" tutorials and tools, both on the technical and use case side...
On the technical, entry-level side, the most impressive tutorial I've come across is Anders Brownworth´s visual demo and tutorial. One should first watch the video here:
and then play around starting from here
For your non-technical, business-oriented neighbour, a good starting point could be reading this Forbes article and then moving on to somthing juicier, like this article on IoT/blockchain synergies
Ah, I almost forgot....the best blockchain use case illustration on the planet is...Steemit!
In most cases, in order to convince your non-technical friends to dump Facebook and join Steemit you just need to explain that
- you can make money out of your posts
- you can post pictures of tits :-)
Do you have other good examples of blockchain 101 tutorials or similar? Thanks for letting me know....
I was reading some great post about Blockchain's potential in Manufacturing the other day. You must check it out.

Very interesting. Thank you.
Nice, good video there! Now I can show this to my parent so they understand the whole thing better.

This is by far the best blockchain tutorial that I have read.
Wow great explanation. Book marked the video
Nice demo video
I appreciate this type of fine post.
Ahh - so easy to win over the marauding FB masses (well, the men at least.)
Good post
Why is everyone calling g everything 101? Is it like emergency number in Europe, like 911 in the US?
and its fire service in india :)
Thanks :)))
Don´t know, actually...
In the US, 101 is level 1. When someone says Chemistry 101, it implies, Introduction to 'Introduction to Chemistry.' So, you can use 101 to explain anything as if you're explaining to a 5 year old. Football 101, Cooking 101, etc.,.
