摘要
Fintech is a factor of the fourth industrial revolution that use innovative technology to make financial services more efficient and reliable.Especially, the blockchain technology is considered as a promising candidate within the fintech technologies. A blockchain is a public and decentralized ledger system which records and validate each and every transaction that has ever been executed. It can be coordinated via peer-to-peer (P2P) networks which makes the transaction secure and reliable. In this talk, we will first introduce the history of blockchain by introducing Bitcoin - the decentralized cryptocurrency which uses blockchain as its underlying technology. We will show how it works at a technical level in order to really understand what is special about Bitcoin and blockchain. We will then introduce the potential applications of blockchain. The talk concludes with suggestions for some future researches.
