Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies have taken center stage in recent years for good reason. Blockchain, the fundamental technology underlying every single crypto currency, is a revolutionary technology that has completely disrupted the financial ecosystem and the internet by solving what is known as “The Double Spend Problem.” Although there are several positive and groundbreaking feats that the crypto industry is pioneering, there are several negative impacts and dangers involved with the industry, as it is still in its infancy. During this Webinar you will learn: the fundamentals of crypto currencies and blockchain; how to get your foot in the door and start investing in and interacting with crypto currencies, web3, the metaverse and NFTs; the pros and cons of utilizing crypto currencies in your business; where blockchain and cryptos are going in the future; and have your questions answered on how you can get involved in this upcoming and exciting industry.
