Event overview
Blockchain, Cryptocurrencies and the Future of Work
New School Economics Goldsmiths and Hacksmiths - Goldsmiths Tech Society welcomes Atlas.Work developer and Cyber-Security Expert Patrick Lismore to Goldsmiths, University of London to first of all explain what blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies are, how to engage with them and why the Atlas platform aims to disrupt how we work online.
Blockchain can be defined as a distributed ledger technology born to counter the risks and lack of trust that come with data being held centrally. Indeed this technology also provides new tools to rethink how we exchange value online and across borders. What social systems can we build using blockchain technology to create a more equitable economy?
The goal is to provide students with an understanding of the fundamentals of blockchain, cryptography, and new fundraising methods which give rise to a variety of innovative technologies and platforms. As well as introducing a guideline to securely acquire, store and exchange cryptocurrencies.
Atlas will then be introduced as a new global freelancing platform that incorporates blockchain technologies to create a decentralized ecosystem that aims to reach across borders and revolutionize the freelance industry.
