Blockchain Revolution: finance and technology

The blockchain, a technology that is revolutionizing the way digital transactions are conceived and managed, will be the focal point of this informative meeting to be held at the I3P incubator in Turin. Starting from its origins and the Cypherpunk movement, the event will propose an exploration of the path that led to the birth of Bitcoin and the subsequent expansion of the cryptocurrency market. Coinbase, initially founded as a cryptocurrency wallet, has played and continues to play a key role in the adoption and promotion of digital assets.

In addition to the basics of blockchain and the history of Coinbase, concepts such as Ethereum, Smart Contracts, the difference between Fungible and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), and much more will be examined. We will delve into the distinction between centralized and decentralized finance, as well as the role and types of wallets in securing cryptocurrencies.

Blockchain is not just a tool for financial transactions, but an ecosystem of companies, innovations, and entrepreneurs in constant and rapid evolution. This sector offers solutions for the transition from a centralized online world, dominated by major players in computing (Google, Amazon, Meta…), to decentralization, emphasizing the importance of transparency, security, and traceability.
