About this event

What do we know about Blockchain and how it works?

This seminar will be focused on the ideology that has underpinned the movement of Blockchain as well as attempting to explain in plain terms what is largely a counter-intuitive and confusing landscape to navigate for the uninitiated.

Join us on Wednesday 31 July, where our speaker Dr. Prash Puspanathan will provide attendees with an introduction to blockchain technology and its associated financial vehicle, Cryptocurrency, which is rapidly gaining traction as an emerging asset class.

This talk will cover the following key areas:
  • Historical overview and ideology behind the movement
  • Crypto 101: Blockchain technology, Decentralisation, Smart Contracts tied together with a case study
  • Overview of current Cryptocurrency market conditions and its place within the larger market cycle
  • Ongoing issues with mainstream adoption and current vs future regulatory landscape
