Dr. Gavin Wood is the founder of Polkadot. He is a computer scientist and holds a PhD in human-computer interfacing. Charles Hoskinson is the founder of Cardano. He is a mathematician and did not complete a PhD. Charles and Gavin also co-founded with Vitalik Buterin and 5 others in 2013.   Charles seems to spend a lot more time engaging with the Cardano community than Gavin does engage with the Polkadot community. Gavin and Charles have radically different approaches to building their respective projects. Polkadot tests feature using Kusama, and Cardano’s features are peer-reviewed by academics prior to implementation.

Ethereum was technically founded by 8 people including Vitalik Buterin and Charles Hoskinson in December 2013. Charles later left Ethereum to found Cardano.   Charles is a mathematician who dropped out of his PhD to work in cryptocurrency full time. Vitalik is a computer scientist who dropped out of his bachelor’s program for the same reason.   

🛠Development🛠  In terms of development, Ethereum has more of a hands-on approach by putting practise before theory. Ethereum’s approach gave it the first-mover advantage when it launched in the summer of 2015.  This is in stark contrast to Cardano. Every component of its architecture is peer-reviewed and rigorously tested by academics prior to implementation.

Chinese bitcoin miners have long dominated the global processing power that runs the bitcoin network with sophisticated equipment and access to cheap electricity. But now, a group of U.S. miners with deep pockets wants to conquer a greater share of the industry

We hear about it all the time, but what is blockchain? And how is it going to impact the world? We explore how blockchain is allowing for the rise of cryptocurrency as well as how it is being applied outside of the financial sector.

Why learn Blockchain?  Blockchain technology is the brainchild of Satoshi Nakamoto, which enables digital information to be distributed. A network of computing nodes makes up the Blockchain. Durability, robustness, success rate, transparency, incorruptibility are some of the enticing characteristics of Blockchain. By design, Blockchain is a decentralized technology which is used by a global network of the computer to manage Bitcoin transactions easily. Many new business applications will result in the usage of Blockchain such as Crowdfunding, smart contracts, supply chain auditing, e

Capturing the insights of leading figures from the technology industry, the Blockchain City Documentary is the story of cities around the world and their shift towards being technologically powered through Blockchain. With Interviews from leading governments worldwide that have implemented Blockchain technology, including the Government of Netherlands, Government of Estonia and of course the City of Dubai, the voice captures what is shaping our collective tomorrow so that we can all join hands and take the next steps together.

In April 2021 a single Bitcoin was worth over $60,000. But is Bitcoin the future? Or just one giant elaborate scam…?   It’s time we investigate Bitcoin and the rise of cryptocurrencies.

Back in the day, if you wanted to mine Bitcoin, everything you needed was a computer connected to the internet. You could let your PC do its thing, and if you got lucky, you earned a piece of this popular decentralized cryptocurrency.

This safari is incredible. You've seen lions, cheetahs, and other amazing wildlife.  Your friends are going to love these photos. Suddenly, the ground starts shaking. The soft booming sound becomes much louder. A massive elephant emerges from the treeline, trumpeting. It looks angry, and it's going to attack. How are you going to survive this time?

You're camping, and it's dusk. As you gather firewood, one of the sticks moves. It's not a stick. It's deadly black mamba.  The snake raises its head more than 1 m (4 ft) off the ground. It strikes like lightning, attacking you again and again, then slithers away.  What could you do to survive? Are black mambas black all over their bodies? Do these snakes hang out alone or travel in groups? And how fast can you die from a black mamba's venom?
