Dear students, tomorrow afternoon there will be an interesting seminar that I strongly suggest attending. Please, come numerous!
Title: Demystifying and Demythologizing Blockchain Technology
When: Tuesday, 18 April 2023, 16:00 – 17:00
Where: Aula G50 (RM118), Viale Regina Elena, 295, 00161 Roma RM, Italy
Abstract: This seminar will give a gentle, conceptual, and honest introduction to blockchain technology. Gentle means that the seminar is targeted at non-experts. Conceptual means the focus will be on key concepts instead of technicalities or one specific blockchain platform. Last but not least, honesty means that the seminar will not be the (usual) enthusiastic business talk about blockchain, but it will highlight misconceptions and dispel some common myths about blockchain.
