Absorbing Information on Blockchain

Part of the Blockchain Category

March 17, 2018

I became interested in Blockchain Technology years ago, but only recently learned more about it. This is the first post for this WordPress Category of my progress in this subject. I prefer not to link to primarily cryptocurrencies as they offer specific cases that are better explain in so many places on the Internet.

The enumerated list below are the pages or videos resources I completed. They are not necessarily in the order I watched or read them. Consider the list as non-sequencial mile-markers along my journey including when I looped back as needed for a refresher. 🙂
