Any good material to really understand the power of the blockchain and cryptocurrencies?
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum are definitely getting noticed because of their rising prices. But understanding the blockchain and its potential to be the next big disruption for apps and services is still relatively complex and vast. Are there any recommendations for reading or listening material to understand this better, starting at the basics?

- Jesus NajeraCEO/Founder at SetOcean · WrittenI write concise, high-level, semitechnical primers from a fundamental standpoint (ie. not trading).
