Q: What is the blockchain?
A: A decentralised, difficult to hack database, that is shared across a peer-to-peer (P2P) network.
Q: Why is it important?
A: It offers radical potential for managing data in a non-hierarchical manner such as creating cryptocurrencies, sharing ownership and commoning information. Blockchain is where cryptography, distributed systems, politics and economy converge.
Q: What is this seminar about?
A: We will read texts together to understand the structural foundation of the blockchain, and its applications in sociopolitical contexts.
