The current hype about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as millions are made and lost make for great headlines, but misses the far more interesting story about the technology that allows them to exist, namely, blockchain. This series dives into the cryptokingdom to understand the technology and why we should all care about how it develops. Just as it's difficult to do anything without the internet today, in 10 years, we might very well be saying the same thing about blockchain.
Episode 1
What is bitcoin? We go back to the day Satoshi Nakamoto proposed a radical new form of electronic money. In the wake of a devastating financial crisis, an ecosystem would soon emerge across the globe.
Episode 2
We dive into crypto-mania as the value of bitcoin skyrocketed in a crypto-wild west, and the world goes mad for the huge profits to be made. Is there no limit to where crypto could go next?
Episode 3
With bitcoin came blockchain technology - a tool to decentralize all sorts of things beyond crypto-currency. Will it radically transform the way we live, work, and even govern ourselves?
Episode 4
Pioneers of blockchain technology and crypto-currencies have bold visions of an increasingly virtual future. Will it be a tech-rich utopia? The science-fiction future may be closer than we realize.
