About decentralization of everything, not just money.
The cryptocurrency craze came and went, people bought lambos and had to sell them, maybe you think this is the end of the story. But let’s go back to where this story really started, why it is such a bigger deal than what you have already seen and why the community needs you, whatever your background or your focus, to get involved.
What People Will Learn:
- The historical and philosophical context of the birth of Bitcoin
- What decentralization really means
- How Bitcoin is to blockchains what email was to the Internet
- What generic blockchains really are
- How decentralization can reshape some key societal processes around us, including democracy itself
- How they can participate, whether they are developers or not
Skill Level: Beginners.
About the speaker:
Sébastien Arbogast, a software developer by training and by passion and one of the reasons he is so passionate about it is because software is at the heart of more and more societal systems, and being able to write and change software gives his power over those systems. When he came into contact with Ethereum 3 years ago, he was hooked and he immediately realized that this technology had so much political, philosophical and societal potential, beyond just the technology itself, that we HAD to get more people involved in its conceptualization, development and integration, both developers and the general public. That’s why Sebastien created the ChainSkills initiative with a friend and they started giving conferences and talks everywhere they could, and created an online course on Udemy to teach developers how to create decentralized apps on the Ethereum blockchain. Now Sebastian and friends have even more crazy projects to revolutionize life long learning and education through decentralization.
