#1 - Cryptocurrencies from scratch: databases, the banking world, and distributed systems

This is the first episode of a series on cryptocurrencies. In this series I will tell you about cryptocurrencies from scratch. This first episode is quite non-technical and should be easy to understand for most folks. I will explain what databases are, how banks around the world move money around, and what cryptocurrencies fundamentally offer.

In the next episode I will dig more into the first ever cryptocurrency: Bitcoin.
