About the Course

Blockchain is an emerging and highly disruptive technology that is poorly understood. In this course you will learn what blockchain is and how it can create value by tokenization in cryptocurrencies and in many other practical applications. The applications include: stablecoins (like Facebook’s Libra and JP Morgan’s JPMCoin), machine to machine payments, identity protection, supply chain management (Walmart, Maersk, IBM), secure voting, distributed exchanges, decentralized finance, property transfers, central bank fiat crypto (e.g., Fedcoin and China’s digital Renminbi), dispensing prescription drugs, private records, intellectual property, financial reporting, and media and advertising, to name a few. The goals of the course are to: (i) provide an advanced understanding of the various blockchain technologies; (ii) determine the specific business situations where blockchain technology can be deployed to solve important problems; (iii) select the specific blockchain technology that has the best chance of success for a particular problem; and (iv) detail the risks presented by this new technology....

If you want an in depth overview of hashing and how the blockchain really works step by step, look no further. I am happy I ran into this, the professor's teaching is top notch.

A perfect way to enter the world of blockchain. Cam is a well-grounded and informed person who can help you navigate through the hype and understand the real value of this technology

Terrible course, it has absolutely nothing to do with the scope of the specialization (finance and strategy). The course goes entirely in boring, unintelligible and useless technicalities and computer concepts together with explaining the operation of programs and algorithms being suitable for a specialization in computer subjects but not for a program with a focus on finance and strategy. Duke must solve this type of errors since it puts its prestige at stake, it should eliminate this course from the specialization, or change the focus, lessons, tests and content towards a more practical and useful profile (show examples of practical uses of the technology and the potential business it can generate).

A largely incoherent mess. This course belabours many easy to grasp concepts in a scattergun approach but then airdrops references to irrelevant and complex notions. Its nether well thought out nor well targeted to any particular audience.
