A Guide To The Blockchain Ecosystem | PART 1 | Helping You To Understand The Blockchain (Skillshare)

Have you been hearing about the Blockchain recently? Are you struggling to understand how the Blockchain works? Maybe you’re unaware of how the Blockchain ecosystem operates? Whatever your motivation to start on your journey with understanding Blockchain technology, and the ecosystem as whole, you’ve come to the right place to get started on it.

A Guide To The Blockchain Ecosystem, is the most comprehensive course on helping you to understand Blockchain technology and the ecosystem as a whole anywhere on the web.
It’s the one place with everything you need to get started with understanding Blockchain technology and the ecosystem that surrounds it through the path of least resistance, and become a skilled individual on the topic of understanding this rising technology.
This is an effective and “to the point” course breaking down complex topics, hence taking you from zero knowledge on the Blockchain ecosystem, to becoming an individual who is able to fully understand how the Blockchain works, as well as all that surrounds it.
While there are plenty of Blockchain guides scattered around the web, it’s hard to find a focused Blockchain video course like this one that is updated regularly, and on top of that is instructed by an instructor who has a great understanding of Cryptocurrencies and the Blockchain.
Nothing is kept a secret. I take you through step by step on understanding how the Blockchain technology, and entire ecosystem works. On top of that you’ll have access to me on-demand through the course discussion board should you wish to gain clarification on any issues.
This course is designed for anyone who wants to understand how Blockchain technology works, as well as the ecosystem as whole i.e. Smart Contracts etc. So if you’ve heard of the term “Blockchain”, but still fail to understand how it all works, you’re in the right place to understand it all.
Here’s a fun little assignment for you. I want to understand how much of what we went through you actually absorbed.
What I want you to do is describe the blockchain in a short paragraph. Imagine you’re going to be explaining what the blockchain is, and how it works to a friend who does not have a clue about what the Blockchain is. Imagine they’ve never ever head of the word before!
So that’s this assignment. Write a short paragraph, and please do share it, explaining what the blockchain is using your own terms. Feel free to use funny, and interesting terms to describe it. It does not have to be technical.
Remember, this is what you’d be saying to a friend to help them understand what the Blockchain actually is. Get creative as possible. I really look forward to seeing this!
