A TED Talk Explaining Blockchain:

Oakham Note: Blockchain is the technology behind cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.  The blockchain technology is genuinely valuable and will lead to significant changes in the way the world operates.  However, the speculative bubble in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is simply an indicator of the hype surrounding the new technology and its applications.   The truth is that no one knows the inherent value of Bitcoin or whether it will be valuable in the future.

Bettina Warburg describes how the blockchain will eliminate the need for centralized institutions like banks or governments to facilitate trade, evolving age-old models of commerce and finance into something far more interesting: a distributed, transparent, autonomous system for exchanging value.
