FUTURE CANDY - Der Innovations-Podcast

Welcome to the Future of Money. Gemeinsam mit Dan Simerman, dem Head of Financial Relations bei der IOTA Foundation, spricht Nick über Blockchain und Kryptowährungen und wie das Ganze denn genau funktioniert. Bisher sind Kryptotransaktionen umständlich und brauchen Zeit, doch IOTA verwendet eine andere Technologie, um Transaktionen über Blockchain schneller zu machen. Für diese Folge braucht ihr schon ein bisschen mehr Wissen über Blockchain und Krypto, aber keine Sorge, wenn ihr etwas nicht wisst oder Fragen habt, dann meldet euch natürlich gerne bei Nick! Jetzt erst mal viel Spaß mit der Folge zur Zukunft von Geld.
