Outstanding review of the state of the art for 2020. It's interesting to see how fast this area has changed since 2020 and is still changing in 2022. Professor Dan Boneh has a great perspective and I enjoy his fast paced review of the most relevant topics.

I'M NEW TO CRYPTO TRADING WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO GET STARTED WITH TRADE COS I'VE BEEN MAKING MY PERSONAL RESEARCH FOR A WHILE NOW I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TRADE ON CRYPTOCURRENCY?

[@addisonhernandez1933]

As retail traders, this highlights the importance for understanding what conflict of interest exists when people create content around any specific trading platform/ strategy

[@ednawagner4806]

You are right, to be a successful person in life requires hard work, being focus and commitment

[@christinebishop8487]

This thing about been successful has to do with working towards your goal and not giving ears or attention to side thoughts

Proof of Burn was mentioned in bitcoin wiki back in 2012 and has now been implemented by Koinos blockchain. I wonder if Dan is aware of this consensus algorithm.

7:52 info: there is a Blockchain where the miner order is randomly find & also the transactions are queued as the per the request....i.e. no alteration like in Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc... The Blockchain is EOSIO. 13:33 the EOSIO has reached a max. of 4000 txns/sec.. with EOS being the highest used for < 40% of capability. 17:27 Solidity is not the best language for Blockchain. Moreover, newer the language is, higher is the risk of bugs. EOSIO uses C++, which is a God Language since 1986. C++ has been explored way more times than Solidity, be it in terms of security.

nice lecture except for the unwarranted bashing of PoW. There are many reasons why, despite all the bad press that BTC is getting from this professor and others, BTC is still king, and will stay king for a long long time.

[@technologyandinnovation4586]

Ask any audience a question as to how many of the attendees have loans, credit, mortgage, securities etc. Everyone has one, in fact, everyone in United States has one, in fact, US economy runs on it. In the Blockchain world there is no concept of it ... "it's not about there is no application yet" but it's more like, in physicist language, there is no mechanism. Unless this is addressed, its just a novel idea.

Libra is not a consensual blockchain

[@srinathkunapareddy1992]

You can say someone is a great teacher if they start with the first principles and then build on top. I don't see that happening here. There is no follow on material shared too. These high level explanations just obfuscate true understanding,
