Blockland: Blockchain today

By now you’ve heard all the buzz, and criticism, of Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies. The constant fluctuations of the Bitcoin market. One minute it’s going to the moon, the next it’s tanking and will never come back. This isn’t a story all about Bitcoin, because as Bitcoin and it’s siblings Litecoin, Etherium and the thousands of other alt-coins that have come and gone over the years, the underlying technology, Blockchain, is becoming the real star of the show with Banks and Financial institutions around the world researching how they can best use this technology. But the ecosystem itself is still a bit odd. What Satoshi Nakomoto handed over the to the world of Cryptographic Cyberpunks in 2009, 10 years later has become a booming, albeit volatile, industry. There’s an incredible story going on right now in Cleveland. But today on the show we’re going to take you behind some of the companies, governments, and communities elsewhere… all focused on Bitcoin and Blockchain technology. *** This show is a part of the Podglomerate network, a company that produces, distributes, and monetizes podcasts.
