The Goal of this Masterclass is three-fold:

●Demystify Blockchain and its applications

●Provide a birds-eye view of the technology and its applications

●From founders, investors and professionals: Why Blockchain? And why should I invest?

Blockchain has applications including trading, cloud storage, real estate, insurance, charity and more!
