BLOCKCHAIN: Theory and Practice Description An intensive full day course that dives into the current topics behind distributed ledger technology, cryptography, cryptocurrencies, blockchains, sidechains, smart contacts, Dapps, ICO’s and tokens. The course is specifically designed for people who wish to understand how Web 3.0 transmits value over the internet and how it will change the Internet of Information to the Internet of Value. Created for business executives and leaders who wish to forego the pie-in-the-sky hype and excessive technical jargon, and be technically savvy without the ‘geek speak’. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/blockchain-theory-and-practice-training-session-tickets-46211683389? aff=ehomecard
