RTP 180: Blockchain

DESCRIPTION

MARCH’S RTP180 TOPIC | BLOCKCHAIN

So, do you know what Blockchain is? Before you consult Google, check out this video for an explanation that is way better than ours…

That’s right, there is more to Blockchain than just Bitcoin. It is a system to provide structure, authenticity and checks & balances for all sorts of data. They say it is distrupting the industry, and our speakers agree! Join leading experts from around The Triangle on March 15 to learn more about this hot topic.
