Cointelegraph examines how the blockchain industry is blossoming in South Korea, which has become the world’s third-largest crypto economy.
Rising from the ashes of the last speculative frenzy, a new generation of Korean entrepreneurs are investing in real use cases and building the future of crypto.
Siraj Raval covers Google’s claim to have achieved Quantum Supremacy in a research paper that was briefly leaked on a NASA website.
The paper was taken down, but the Internet moves fast to recover data.
In this episode, Siraj explores what quantum supremacy means, what the applications of quantum computing will be, and how a quantum-resistant cryptographic technique called “A New Hope” works.

3Blue1Brown has one of the clearest and thorough explanations of BitCoin I have ever seen.
On the second episode of Siraj Raval’s educational podcast, he interviews the CEO of the largest cryptocurrency company in the world, Brian Armstrong.
From the video description:
I knew Brian years ago when Coinbase was a relatively humble startup and it’s been mind blowing to see how far they’ve come in such a short period of time, managing the equivalent of billions of dollars in wealth in cryptocurrency. I admire Brian because he wakes up everyday determined to solve the ‘meta-problem’ of financial freedom using cryptocurrency, which he believes can indirectly alleviate poverty, increase entrepreneurship, and help reduce corruption in governments around the world. The President of the USA tweeted about Bitcoin and Facebook released it’s “Libra” cryptocurrency, so it’s an extremely exciting time in the space. I also ask him about his most ambitious ideas regarding the future of payments, and was pleasantly shocked by his answers.
Watch this documentary to find out why Malta might as well be called “Blockchain Island.”
The technology in this video is not only relevant and cutting edge, but it reads like a who’s who and what’s what of the hottest buzzwords around today: Cryptocurrenncy, Python, TensorFlow, Keras.
In all all seriousness, this is a really good demo and exploration of said technologies.
I first heard of Ripple while watching Bloomberg TV, where the CEO of the company was touting the cryptocurrency and its rapid acceptance by the financial establishment. That made me wonder: how could a company “own” a cryptocurrency? Wouldn’t that make it centralized? Isn’t that antithetical to cyrptocurrencies?
Fortunately, Siraj Raval comes to the rescue with a great explainer video on Ripple
Siraj Raval has a unique and innovative idea on how to finance his “School of AI.”
In case you’re wondering exactly how hard it is to crack 256-bit encryption or mess with the blockchain.
Depsite the cryptocurrency’s rise to prominence, Bitcoin may be doomed to failure as the blockchain struggles to scale up.
Professor Ross Anderson from the University of Cambridge explains.
