          Quotes

          14:08 - “The other thing that’s important about BitCoin that is important for a number of other developments is the concept of having a distributive ledger that everybody has a copy of. Everybody has it. Every single transaction. Whether in this case it’s the blockchain or we’ll talk about other blockchains that form the foundation of ethereum and smart contracts. The secret sauce is that everybody can see it.” - Chuck Senatore

          16:02 - “[Ethereum] is kind of the next most important possible coin because what ethereum has is ethereum tokens. The ethereum system is really the ecosystem that creates the ability to actually create decentralized apps.” - Chuck Senatore

          21:54 - “So you have these non-fungible tokens–and the reason that they’re called non-fungible because they have a digital signature that says, ‘You know what? There’s only one of these.’ As opposed to Bitcoin can be fungible and other sorts of things that can be repeated and aren’t necessarily unique. Essentially what makes it non-fungible is it’s uniqueness.” - Chuck Senatore
