Το Syllabus
Το Syllabus του προγράμματος περιλαμβάνει 8 αλληλένδετες θεματικές, που καλύπτουν ένα ευρύ φάσμα ζητημάτων του Blockchain και των κρυπτονομισμάτων. Αρχικά, θα αναλυθεί η σημασία του Blockchain ως τεχνολογία, ως μέσο καταγραφής συναλλαγών και η οικονομική του επίδραση. Θα εξηγηθούν παράλληλα τα τεχνικά χαρακτηριστικά του Blockchain και θα γίνει σύγκριση μεταξύ των πιο σημαντικών και δημοφιλών τύπων Blockchain. Ύστερα, θα αναλυθεί η σημασία των κρυπτονομισμάτων στην οικονομία και την κοινωνία, χρησιμοποιώντας θεωρίες της οικονομικής και της συμπεριφορικής επιστήμης. Με την κατανόηση των παραπάνω, θα υπάρξει εμβάθυνση στον τρόπο διεξαγωγής συναλλαγών στις αγορές κρυπτονομισμάτων. Τέλος θα αναλυθεί το ευρύ φάσμα εφαρμογών blockchain, εφαρμογές οι οποίες μπορούν να προκαλέσουν σημαντικές αλλαγές στο προφίλ πληθώρας επαγγελματικών πεδίων.
Λίγα Λόγια για την τεχνολογία του Blockchain
Από την επινόησή της το 2008, η τεχνολογία του Blockchain έχει επηρεάσει σημαντικά τον τρόπο που αντιλαμβανόμαστε τις συναλλαγές και τη συλλογή δεδομένων. Με την υιοθέτηση της τεχνολογία αυτής, η ύπαρξη μεσαζόντων στις συναλλαγές δύναται να καταστεί περιττή αλλά και αναποτελεσματική. Το Blockchain δεν περιορίζεται μόνο στις συνήθεις συναλλαγές, καθώς πλέον χρησιμοποιείται, έστω και σε πιλοτικό επίπεδο, σε νευραλγικούς τομείς όπως η Υγεία, η Ναυτιλία και η Δικαιοσύνη. Παράλληλα, μέσω της τεχνολογίας του Blockchain, έχει δημιουργηθεί ο κλάδος των κρυπτονομισμάτων που πλέον αγγίζει σε αξία τα 1,7 τρισεκατομμύρια δολάρια, με κυρίαρχο νόμισμα το Bitcoin, το οποίο και αποτελεί το πρώτο μοντέρνο κρυπτονόμισμα και αναπτύχθηκε παράλληλα με το πρώτο Blockchain, με μερίδιο αγοράς περίπου 61%.
Ανεξάρτητα με την εξέλιξη της αγοράς των κρυπτονομισμάτων, η πρωτότυπη τεχνολογία στην οποία αυτή βασίζεται θα συνεχίσει να διαδραματίζει σημαντικό ρόλο στην λειτουργία της κοινωνίας και όχι μόνο. Η τεχνολογία του Blockchain δημιουργεί ένα παγκόσμιο δίκτυο εμπιστοσύνης, επιτρέποντας σε ιδιώτες, επιχειρήσεις, οργανισμούς και μηχανές να συναλλάσσονται μεταξύ τους, με αμεσότητα, αξιοπιστία και σχεδόν μηδαμινό κόστος. Στο Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies Workshop θα σου δοθεί ακριβώς η ευκαιρία να πληροφορηθείς και να εκπαιδευτείς πάνω σε αυτά τα σύγχρονα και αναδυόμενα ζητήματα της οικονομικής τεχνολογίας και πρακτικής.
