ABOUT THE COURSE
Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum mark a fundamental advance in financial technology and now comprise a thriving 1.6 trillion-dollar ecosystem. The underlying engine, the blockchain, brings together breakthroughs from multiple domains including computer networks, cryptography, and distributed computing. Harvard Business Review characterizes the blockchain, as a foundational technology – as opposed to a disruptive one – one that will fundamentally redefine the bedrock of our economic and social systems in decades to come.
This short course presents a high level, non-technical, application-focused introduction to the cryptocurrencies and blockchain revolution. No computer or programming background is required. The emphasis will be on communicating the fundamental intuition behind these systems, a solid grounding in their novel security properties, and immersive thought exercises and case studies.
