The Blockchain Imaginarium Ep01

The whole point of this imaginarium is for me, Dale, and Dr Splott of Melbourne's Bitcoin Technology Center (mbtc) to discuss and imagine the future of #blockchain technologies. We'll be talking about existing projects and then stretching those ideas out to the universe and back with probabilities that we imagine will rock the world, from Melbourne the supernode of all things crypto.

In this first episode we cover the very basics - what is the blockchain, how does it work? What does #ProofOfWork mean? Why is it a trustless system? How does ethereum fit in? Why is it secure? Can this technology be hacked?

We didn't really get to imagine very much at all in the first episode, or talk any of the projects that are already causing headlines (even though Dale tried numerous times to #SlockIt into the conversation).. DrSplot is adamant people comprehend the very very basics, so that we did.

Next ep we'll s t r e t c h the imagination, we promise :)
