Gary talks about Crypto and Finance class at 50:20, any one knows if thats also available on MIT OCW? I couldn't find it.

[@mitocw]

MIT 15.S12 Blockchain and Money, Fall 2018: ocw.mit.edu/15-S12F18. Best wishes on your studies!

[@nadeemahmed3248]

@@mitocw He mentions about two courses. Blockchain and Money that you mentioned, i have already taken that. He talks about Crypto Finance class "that starts in 30 minutes" - i believe it was offered in parallel with this course. Please let me know :)

[@mitocw]

We only have two course on MIT OpenCourseWare by him. There might be another course (or courses) at MIT that we don't have. MIT OCW doesn't have every course that is taught at MIT. Here's what we do have on this topic: ocw.mit.edu/courses/find-by-topic/#cat=business&subcat=finance. We hope this helps.

[@DLCS-2]

@@mitocw thank you for the information !

[@anonviewerciv]

No, it's not about fish bioengineering. (19:29) 26:55 No mention of joint-stock companies in this visual? So I don't know if it's the professor or the online format, but this lecture is prone to wild tangents.

[@jiagengliu]

The only thing I know is that Prof. Gensler is going to be the Deputy Treasury Secretary of Biden Administration. www.cnbc.com/2020/11/25/joe-biden-considers-roger-ferguson-to-lead-nec-gary-gensler-deputy-treasury-secretary.html

[@dikachikahoone]

I wish I was one of the student in this class so I could sign up for the lunch to talk fintech and the world.

[@FromTheHeart2]

Thank you

[@carlosdelatorre5498]

This course is led by the new head of the SEC in the Biden administration

[@unkertennis]

This guy sure likes to name drop and remind us he's a very important person previously from Goldman lol

[@turtle1211]

with the adoption of blockchain, wouldn’t cloud fade away? we have seen what can happen when 3rd party controls your data.

[@soulandfresh]

It will be a gradual change. Eventually, yes, a lot of things will disappear. But it will take time, and they’ll hold on and struggle and fight as long as they can.

[@kiq654]

Generally speaking clouds internal overclock is ticking at a lessened speed than on a blockchain, which doesnt just involve just memory strictures but also processing power enough to make all moves possible. Basically aws would cost 3-100x or even more if it were using purely uncentralized and unoptimized blockchain approaches.

[@rajivvij3505]

thanks.

Do I even wanna watch this ? 😂😂😂

[@danielmateofitness7618]

This class is late. Disruption has started since 2015 like bitcoin & companies already have moved forward

Investir em Bitcoin será a coisa mais sensata a se fazer em 2020, especialmente no ritmo atual.

[@makeamericangreatagain1655]

Your comment is nice and interesting and hope you are keeping safe This is the advice anyone would give you now with all that have happened this year. I must say crypto asset are slowly taking over the financial market, just few days ago PayPal bought into the Bitcoin sphere and there’s 1% bullish trend . My singular regret is I didn’t start crypto trading early, I tried myself before and I lost thousands of dollars . I’m learning now and I can’t say I’m an expert yet , I’m getting better but the best thing I ever did for myself was to invest with a professional, she was licensed by the United state department of treasury, so I had to trust her and that was the best decision I ever made. Amanda made my life more meaningful, with my profits, I just got a new home in Washington. She’s very strict but you can reach her on WhatsApp [phone] OR text :[phone] NOTE: you must bring a verification as she’s very strict with authenticity

[@thomassmith3221]

Imagine what the price of bitcoin would be for the year. Now is the perfect time to invest.

[@godwinastroshi4276]

Very true. When I started trading cryptocurrencies, I wasn't sure what I was doing until I started trading professionally.

[@ClarkKent-wr3pk]

[@ClarkKent-wr3pk]

Yooooo 😂😂😂

[@xenderashely772]

Nothing will prevent me from investing in cryptocurrencies, in this period I see that the graph is making great strides.

[@kevinhart4real]

[@hemanthvarmas]

I am glad that no one has yet put comments like "first" and such bullshit

[@owieraymond3241]

Investing in Bitcoin will be the wisest thing to do in 2020, especially at the current rate.

[@seeplush8309]

Why you say that?
