In this episode, Eventide's Director of Education, Shaun Morgan, interviews Lee Bratcher, Board Member and President of the Texas Blockchain Council. The two of them help provide a more straightforward, easy-to-understand explanation of how blockchains and cryptocurrencies work and why it is important to understand them.
