RE: EDUCATION: Blockchain at University and my experience

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

Hi Kiran, great to hear from you! What do you think the best sources are to understand the concept of Blockchain on a not too technical level.
Thinking about an explanation akin to how to drive a car, don't want to be a car mechanic...

Also I would genuinely be interested to hear your ideas on my article on the IDEA economy
from your perspective as a recent graduate! Congrats by the way!

Thanks for the feedback and it feels good to be graduating!
I used several sources including Google and Youtube to understand Blockchain. I generally like to think of Blockchain as a data structure which normally cannot be changed. However the application is different. I'd suggest looking at videos on Bitcoin and then videos of "How blockchain applies to the financial sector" etc. You get the feel of it over time!

Thanks for the invite and I'll certainly have a look!

Best,
Kiran

I think that if you understand and can express it in laymans' terms there is a nice opportunity for you to make an online course on Udemy or Skillshare or something like that. I am in the situation where I am curious but not curious enough to go digging through specs etc. ... probably to my detriment. I saw a programme recently on Bitcoin and they treat BTC and Blockchain as synonymous, obviously they have not understood the finer points either.
If it is true that blockchain technology is going to revolutionise the internet as some of the people I follow on the internet say, I'd like a good argument how specifically it will accomplish that and how I can benefit from the early adopter opportunities...
