  2. History of Databases 2

  3. Blockchain Basics 3 1 4 2 3 5 6 3 • A wants to transact value with B. • The transaction is represented as a ‘block’. • The block is broadcast to every party in the network. • The Block is then added to the chain, which provides a record of transactions. • Those in the network approve that transaction is valid. • The value moves from A to B.

  4. Evolution of Networks 4 Broadband Network Social Media Network Blockchain Network • Increasing users increases the value of existing users. • The Internet had a low user base value. • As the internet grew with more users, it grew in value to existing customers. • The more users present on social media, the more valuable for all users involved. • The value of the network arises from the participants whom form part of it. • Decentralized applications (dapps) are built using blockchain technology. • Each additional application and user for a blockchain platform increases the value for existing users.

  5. Mainstream Adoption 5 March 2017 Microsoft, JP Morgan, Toyota, Intel and others form the Ethereum Enterprise Alliance. Sept 2008 Satoshi Nakamoto publishes Bitcoin Whitepaper.

  9. The Crypto Landscape Nick Cowan The Crypto Landscape 9 Many new cryptocurrencies lack technical innovation or a useful purpose, commonly known as ‘Shitcoins’ A lot of new coins are ‘forked’ versions of existing coins. New Cryptocurrencies are created on a weekly basis.
