Blockchain: Best or Worst Thing Ever?
PRESENTED BY
Brian Sletten
Forward Leaning Software Engineer @ Bosatsu Consulting
If you listen to zealots and critics, blockchain-based systems and the cryptocurrencies they enable are either the Best Thing Ever or the Worst Thing Ever. As you may suspect, the reality is somewhere in-between. We will introduce the major ideas, technologies and players as well as evaluate them from technological, economic and social perspectives.
Come have a spin-free discussion about these polarizing technologies to find how they might be useful to you.
