The topic of the seventh episode of the second season of the podcast "Efekt Sieci" is blockchains and their implementations within the elements of policy and management. Although it is difficult to point out who was the creator of blockchain technology, and many people have difficulty even clearly presenting what blockchains actually are, the technology has the potential to revolutionize many areas of our lives. What are blockchains, why is there so much talk about them, and what potential does they have?
The expert of the episode is Lukasz Jonak, DELab UW analyst and project manager The Social Machine, who answers questions from Dr. Justyna Pokojska o:
– blockchain definition,
– the benefits that flow from them, apart from the realization of the idea of “community”,
- Definition of Bitcoins - Where do they come from? Who "creates" them and gives them a specific value?
– the use of bitcoins and the advantages of having a digital currency in your wallet,
– the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the development of blockchains and bitcoins,
– the trend related to the development of cryptocurrencies to move away from “traditional” money,
– the opportunities created by blockchain technology in shaping public policies and management.
