About

Web3.0, decentralization, DAOs, Crypto, NFTs, the metaverse, what is all this? We're going to be discussing this and much more in this experimental series. We'll try to cover very slightly the basic computer science/mathematics aspect of cryptocurrencies, but we're also going to focus on explaining each of the concepts mentioned on a high level so we can then discuss its potential and implications.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

You are completely free to attend/skip whichever sessions you want. Even though I would recommend attending most sessions because they are somewhat sequential and dependent on topics taught in previous classes.

1/3 Introduction to Blockchain technology. This session is the first part of the three-part introduction to understanding blockchain technology on a somewhat technical level. With that said, no computer science or math background is required for this class. In this first session, we'll be discussing blockchain basics and cryptography. Specifically, we'll be talking about hashing, the problems blockchain is trying to solve, key characteristics of a blockchain, and related topics... The purpose of this session is to give you some knowledge which we will expand on in the following two sessions.
