What You'll Learn
It is claimed that Blockchain is a trustable, fast, and transparent database system, that underpins cryptocurrencies such as BitCoin, and inspires similar but more controllable distributed ledgers (DL).
Therefore, understanding the definition, concepts, applications, advantages, and disadvantages of those three related terms would be important for businesses now, and will be an urgent need in the near future.
Different analyses suggest that Blockchain-based operations will increase in many businesses during the 2020s, therefore, understanding and mastering Blockchain would be a necessary skill for managers and technical staff from now on.
The topic is rather new, vastly innovative, technically rather complicated, and mixed with myths and baseless beliefs, which makes it necessary for it to be taught and addressed comprehensively and subtly, what this course is designed for.
