Abstract:

Blockchain is considered by many to be one of the most disruptive
technologies of our time.  But what is a blockchain? What are the
innovative elements? What are the problems solved by this technology?
The Blockchain is the backbone of Bitcoin, but that is only the first
application.  Blockchain is much more, and in this introductory talk
we will understand the basic principles and will try to discuss the
potentials.  Beyond Bitcoin!
