List of Bitcoin/Blockchain Resources

As AIDL grew, once in a while people would talk about blockchain would affect AI or deep learning.  Currently it is still a long shot, but blockchain by itself is a very interesting technology and it deserves our notice.

Here are some resources you may use to learn about blockchain.   Unlike “Top 5 List” for AIDL,  I don’t really understand the technology too well.  But also unlike “List of Neuroscience MOOC“, Greg Dubela did give me a lot of recommendations on what you should learned up.  Thus this post is also used as a resource post in “Blockchain and Crypto“.

Introductory Videos:

  • (2 minute) This video: explaining the purpose of blockchain in 2 minutes, and the promise it makes.
  • This 6-part series from Dash School is a great introductory series on what Blockchain is, how it is governed, and several fundamental concepts.   Greg highly recommend the series.
