About the Course
Blockchain - Fundamentals and Future Public blockchain technology and NFTs have exploded over the last few years as a means for speculative investors to make it big or get 'REKT'. While finance and digital art have found a place leveraging the early adoption of blockchain due to the immutability, security, transparency, and speed of a distributed ledger, they are not the only sectors who can benefit from these characteristics. Industries who will adopt and benefit from blockchain in the future are those which rely on transparency, verification, or a trusted intermediary to support the delivery of their outcomes. Defence, Healthcare, Education, Elections, Travel, Real-estate and the Creator Economy can all benefit with the right blockchain backed tools and applications in the future.
