What is Bitcoin, Blockchain and ICO's? Why is it important and how does it all work?

Blockchain is a hot topic around the world these days, yet for many, the technology remains an elusive concept. Balance this with Bitcoin mania, an over hyped ecosystem that's all noise and it’s impossible to cut through what’s real, what’s important and why you should be both curious and afraid.

We’ll explore in simple and easy to understand terms:

What is Bitcoin, Ethereum, the Blockchain and how does it all work
And we’ll answer the following question:
Will the blockchain transform the Internet & the global economy or is it merely a fad?
And lastly what are Initial Coin Offerings (ICO’s) and other investment schemes
No you should not invest in an ICO

Zachary Kelman

attorney and legal expert

Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and Securities Law: The Current State of Affairs

Typical structure of modern ICO.
Current situation: how regulators (SEC and others) are treating crowdsales.
Characteristics of ICOs that will more likely draw attention of regulators.

Decentralized Ecosystems using BitShares blockchain is the future of Blockchain technologies

 What is the difference between centralized and decentralized exchanges
Meet BitShares and Graphene technology. Fastest and busiest blockchain ever. Low costs. Unbreakable. Unstoppable. DPOS decentralized. Bitshares vs. Ethereum in building high loaded transactional systems
What is wrong with centralized exchanges. Risks of hacking attacks, risks of regulative authorities restrictions, risks of opportunistic behaviour of cryptoexchange administration
Why decentralized exchanges are not popular: 1. Poor GUI 2. Low liquidity 3. Few altcoins traded 4. No market makers 5. Poor marketing 6. Small community 7. Not enough instruments for trading: technical analysis tools, trading robots,etc.
How deex will solve all the issues and problems of DEX exchanges: 2 factor authentication, password recovery, user friendly GUI, mobile application, API. CryptoCards? Vs cryptowallet with traditional bank cards
DEEX is not just one of the many cryptocurrency exchanges. It is the core of the whole solid ecosystem. Transparent cryptofund. Decentralized financial messenger. Decentralized social media (like steemit or golos). ICO platform. Mobile application. API. Merchant. Crypto ATMs
Disintermediation and P2P of human abilities - The future of Bitshares ecosystems: forget about fiat. Use cryptoexchange barter systems, such that you can exchange your services, abilities, goods P2P without intermediaries, without fiat currencies, with low transactional costs
