Understanding Blockchain Workshop

The Blockchain is an undeniably ingenious invention - brainchild of a person or group of people known by the pseudonym, Satoshi Nakamoto. It all started with Bitcoins, world's first decentralized digital currency or cryptocurrency. Bitcoin operates without a central bank or single administrator. But in recent days, it has evolved into variants disrupting most of our major industries in a way we had never imagined.
