Blockchain: Hype oder Innovation?
Das Thema Blockchain polarisiert und hat sich in letzter Zeit zu einem Medienhype entwickelt. So sehen viele die Blockchain-Technologie entweder als eine Allzweckwaffe, zu der aber nur wenige einen Zugang haben, oder als eine Hacker-Technologie für geheime Geschäfte im Darknet. Dadurch sind diejenigen, die sich für das Thema interessieren, gezwungen sich für oder gegen die Blockchain-Technologie zu entscheiden. Dabei liegt die Innovation der Blockchain-Technologie in ihrer erfolgreichen Zusammensetzung bereits vorhandener Ansätze: dezentrale Netzwerke, Kryptographie und Konsensfindungsalgorithmen.
Im Rahmen des Kurses werden wir Ihnen helfen, Ihren eigenen Standpunkt zur Blockchain-Technologie zu finden und aufzeigen welche Eigenschaften wirklich innovativ und welche nichts weiter als ein Hype sind.
