This video provides an introduction to Bitcoin and the Blockchain Industry
Decentralization and Privacy are more important than ever!
As our lives get further thrust into the digital realm, what we need more than ever is robust digital security to protect the increased activity we’re doing online. Unfortunately, we’re actually going backwards. Surveillance has become normalized, and people were never given the opportunity to opt in to this increased tracking. This is what Adam Back, Blockstream CEO, said in an interview with me at the Satoshi Roundtable earlier this year. Unfortunately the internet is not nearly private enough, and not nearly decentralized enough. To help solve this, his company built a Satellite that gives people more privacy for their bitcoin transactions and also helps freedom of speech. Adam and I discuss how the Satellite works, why it’s important, and whether it is possible to take back control of the internet and try to preserve some private space in our digital lives.
The Blockchain Series: Episode 4 – Blockchain as Democracy
In understanding democracy, and how we might improve it, Democracy.Earth founder Santiago Siri is developing an entire digital ecosystem meant to update our global political systems—and it’s powered by the blockchain. We meet up, talk about how it all works, then get to see what could be the future of governments for ourselves.
What is a Utility Token?
A utility token is a digital token that is issued in order to either fund development of a cryptocurrency and/or project/platform, or it may serve a “Service” or “Utility” feature on the platform.
It also might be used initially for funding and later used to purchase a good or service offered by the issuer of the tokens.
Utility tokens are digital assets that have been specifically designed to be spent within a certain blockchain ecosystem.
0x Use Cases
0x is an open protocol that is designed to offer a peer-to-peer decentralized exchange as part of the Ethereum blockchain. 0x is made using a protocol that involves Ethereum smart contacts that allow those around the world to run a decentralized exchange. The team behind 0x strongly believes that in the future, you will find thousands of tokens from Ethereum and that 0x can provide an efficient and trustworthy way to exchange them. 0x is designed to be different from both centralized and decentralized exchanges, providing the best possible combination of features.
0xpo 2020: A Brief History of Tokenization
A token is a scarce digital asset whose ownership is tracked on a public blockchain.
Tokenization refers to the accelerating trend of representing digital and real-world assets as tokens on public blockchains, such as Ethereum.
What is 0x?
0x is a community-owned protocol that provides p2p exchange infrastructure and aggregated liquidity that enables the crypto economy to swap tokens at the best prices.
How DAML works!
DAM is an open-source programming language for writing distributed applications quickly, concisely, and correctly. It runs on the leading blockchain platforms which means that you can build your application now and pick which platform works best for you later. Distributed applications are an emerging paradigm and traditional languages and toolchains just aren’t up to the task. There are complexities such as cryptography and distributed state synchronization which required a ground-up redesign. DAML may not look like anything else you know but with good reason — it is years ahead of the curve. DAML abstracts the underlying implementation details so you can just focus on getting to market faster. Built-in simulation tools and a strong type system means that you can be sure that the application is doing exactly what you expect it to. Code written in DAML is also easier to maintain, so you can rapidly iterate on your application once it’s running.

Protecting Brand Trust with Nanotechnology and Blockchain Smart Contracts – Dan O’Prey & Pete Harris
Protecting Brand Trust with Nanotechnology and Blockchain Smart Contracts – Dan O’Prey, Digital Asset & Pete Harris, Quantum Materials Corp. It takes a significant investment to establish consumer trust in a global product brand, but an even greater one to protect it from the criminal activities of counterfeiters. Recent industry statistics suggest that the counterfeit marketplace is now a $1.8 Trillion endeavor spanning the entire globe. In this talk, we will provide an overview of how the combination of cutting edge nanomaterials called quantum dots can be combined with blockchain and smart contracts to underpin the manufacture of provably authentic products and then track their supply chain provenance to retail point of sale. We’ll then present a real-life anti-counterfeit response highlighting the unique integration of Quantum Material Corp’s configurable QDX Dots with DAML business logic running on a Hyperledger Sawtooth platform.
