Blockchain The personalized insider newsletter for all things blockchain around the world.

From Malta madness to blockchain basics. That's this issue of Techstars Startup Digest Blockchain. That's 10 years before Satoshi Nakamoto and his pirates went beyond the white paper storm to the island of blockchain and retrieved the bitcoin bounty. Though the world took some time to get a grip of the whole rigmarole, this tech marvel is still seen as a nightmare by many for lack of understanding. Thus this issue to save the world for blockchain. I'm free rolling through the beginning of bitcoin via wikipedia, for observations by many, followed by predictions and a bitcoin white paper deconstruct by a man with a stache!!! Then there is a blockchain for survivors in a deserted island and one role play for your office monsters. We move on to the Next: ETH, EOS and STO. Well, I know you guys are experts, and this issue is for gifting to all those who claim not to know blockchain. It's a revenge issue dedicated for them and hence have added an article on blockchain limitations to glue the morons to the end!!! Ending with some sweet notes by Consnsys, Forrester and JP Morgan on their blockchain views. Enjoy the immutability and share some love. Rajesh Johnny #givefirst
