Visions part I: The value of blockchain technology
One of the questions that has perhaps been central to my own research in blockchain technology is: ultimately, what is it even useful for? Why do we need blockchains for anything, what kinds of services should be run on blockchain-like architectures, and why specifically should services be run on blockchains instead of just living on plain old servers? Exactly how much value do blockchains provide: are they absolutely essential, or are they just nice to have? And, perhaps most importantly of all, what is the “killer app” going to be?
Over the last year the concept of “private blockchains” has become very popular in the broader blockchain technology discussion. Essentially, instead of having a fully public and uncontrolled network and state machine secured by cryptoeconomics (eg. proof of work, proof of stake), it is also possible to create a system where access permissions are more tightly controlled, with rights to modify or even read the blockchain state restricted to a few users, while still maintaining many kinds of partial guarantees of authenticity and decentralization that blockchains provide. Such systems have been a primary focus of interest from financial institutions, and have in part led to a backlash from those who see such developments as either compromising the whole point of decentralization or being a desperate act of dinosaurish middlemen trying to stay relevant (or simply committing the crime of using a blockchain other than Bitcoin). However, for those who are in this fight simply because they want to figure out how to best serve humanity, or even pursue the more modest goal of serving their customers, what are the practical differences between the two styles?
When one of the world’s most prestigious universities announces it will explore a controversial and often misunderstood subject best known for piquing the interests of thieves and speculators, people tend to take notice.
Artigo científico - Blockchain technology as a regulatory technology
Abstract - “Code is law” refers to the idea that, with the advent of digital technology, code has progressively established itself as the predominant way to regulate the behavior of Internet users. Yet, while computer code can enforce rules more efficiently than legal code, it also comes with a series of limitations, mostly because it is difficult to transpose the ambiguity and flexibility of legal rules into a formalized language which can be interpreted by a machine. With the advent of blockchain technology and associated smart contracts, code is assuming an even stronger role in regulating people’s interactions over the Internet, as many contractual transactions get transposed into smart contract code. In this paper, we describe the shift from the traditional notion of “code is law” (i.e., code having the effect of law) to the new conception of “law is code” (i.e., law being defined as code).
Consensus Algorithms, Blockchain Technology and Bitcoin UCL
An academic lecture by Andreas M. Antonopoulos explaining the consensus algorithm, "Proof of Work", used by bitcoin and many other blockchains. Andreas is a UCL alum.
This talk was presented in collaboration with the Department of Computer Science at University College London.
This is the second part of a talk which took place on February 22nd 2017 at the Bloktex Event, hosted at Technology Park in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: https://antonopoulos.com/event/kualal...
What happens when the way we buy, sell and pay for things changes, perhaps even removing the need for banks or currency exchange bureaus? That's the radical promise of a world powered by cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. We're not there yet, but in this sparky talk, digital currency researcher Neha Narula describes the collective fiction of money -- and paints a picture of a very different looking future.
Neha Narula é diretora de pesquisa da Digital Currency Initiative, uma parte do MIT Media Lab, onde ministra cursos e lidera pesquisas de criptomoedas e blockchain. Ao concluir seu doutorado em ciência da computação no MIT, ela construiu bancos de dados rápidos e escaláveis e sistemas de software seguros, e falou sobre esses tópicos em dezenas de conferências do setor e de pesquisa.
Narula ajudou a relançar o agregador de notícias Digg e era engenheiro de software sênior do Google. Lá, ela projetou o Blobstore, um sistema para armazenar e servir petabytes de dados imutáveis, e trabalhou no Native Client, um sistema para executar código nativo com segurança por meio de um navegador.
Richie Etwaru, discusses the opportunity and implications of blockchain as a paradigm to slow/chose the expanding trust gap in commerce. He unpacks blockchain to a level of simplicity to be consumed by those that are just starting to understand and explore the paradigm. He lays out a current state of commerce, suggesting that every company is currently at risk of being disrupted or incurring severe strain from a blockchain version of itself.
Professionally, Richie Etwaru is a c-level at a Fortune 500 Company, an author, the owner of international patents, the founder of multiple ventures, an experienced keynote speaker, an angel investor, a member of advisory boards, and a recognized thought leader in the area of digital, technology, and design.
Specific to this TEDx talk, Richie is an adjunct professor of blockchain management at Syracuse University in New York, he has delivered over 100 blockchain keynotes across the world, he has written well read blockchain blogs, he has been interviewed on blockchain in online TV shows, and has advised governments and venture funds on blockchain opportunities.
Blockchain Technology: The Rise of the Decentralised Economy by Bettina Warburg
Blockchain is set to radically transform the way we design, make, deliver, and coordinate the use of goods and services globally. Bettina Warburg explains how blockchain technology is paving the way for the inevitable upheaval of global trade and the institutions and firms govern and manage it. Artificial intelligence, connected devices, and additive manufacturing will be taken to a whole new level when the implementation of Blockchain becomes commonplace.

Apesar de cada vez mais ouvirmos falar sobre soluções em Blockchain, ainda existem muitas dúvidas. As explicações geralmente passam por termos como ledger, Hyperledger, imutabilidade, bitcoin, hash, criptografia, e outros que nem todos tem intimidade. Portanto, este artigo, tenta explicar da maneira mais simples possível, do que se trata esta tecnologia.
