Blockchain, the key technology behind Bitcoin, is a new network that helps decentralize trade, and allows for more peer-to-peer transactions. WIRED challenged political scientist and blockchain researcher Bettina Warburg to explain blockchain technology to 5 different people; a child, a teen, a college student, a grad student, and an expert.

    - do you know what trade is? - it's when you give up most of what you want right? dogecoin people took that personally
  • As someone who's always curious about this subject, I found this video incredibly interesting and the shortest way to success is to find a document or book in which everything was explained to you, not half explained. I can recommend the book Forbidden Crypto Hacks. So let me know what your impressions are.

    Honestly I felt like the expert level explaination made way more sense than all the others. The attempts to simplify it almost made it more convoluted.
  • @Kdubb815
    I want everyone in my life to explain things as though I’m a child because apparently that’s the level that made the most sense to me
  • Level 1: Explain an abstract analogy Level 2: Explain an analogy Level 3: Explain Blockchain Level 4: Explain Blockchain Level 5: Have Blockchain Explained to you
  • @erisskelton4832
    Finally someone who is willing to teach us younger guys instead of pushing some bs course on us. Appreciate it
  • @EricMoore158
    Hey there! Just wanted to remind you that it's never too late to start taking your investment journey serious. I remember struggling for years before diving into crypto last year and let me tell you, it completely changed my life so don't lose hope, my friend.
  • @tanisyt
    The expert totally took over the video, and explained everything so amazingly!
  • @3sm1rost84
    The second kid is super smart. Just note how quickly he gets everything. He immediately asks all the right questions. I'm genuinely impressed.
  • @caleb9322
    Rip the kid selling his computer on ebay thinking ebay protects the seller.
  • Please I need someone here to explain to me how everything works , I have been trying to start and I am finally ready
  • @Luke_Reaume

  • @whaddup5417
    This does not explain blockchain it explains how blockchain is used
  • @davidgaines16
    IF YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE THIS WITHOUT STRESS THEN YOU NEED SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS THE IN AND OUT OF HOW THE MARKET WORKS

    She has seen so much money that her eyes stayed opened forever upon shock
  • @andbrands
    She could stare into the sun and it would blink first.
  • 🌹I'm 41 already and I already have a portfolio good enough to take care of my grandkids, trading comes with alot of benefits and I just just bought my first house through it, as a beginner I was scared of losing my savings but I'm glad I took the bold steps that is now favoring me
