By Joseph Raczynski This is a talk that I gave recently about Blockchain technology based on my engagement and understanding of the technology since Bitcoin circa 2011. I preface this with how technology is having an impact on all of our lives - exponentially. It serves as a complete overview of what Blockchain technology is today and what we might be able to expect from it going forward. I touch on legal's impact. This goes through the history and use cases of the technology. Various slides are credited to Joe Guagliardo. \[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4HfeolTeU8\]
