Bitcoin in the News : 2016-10 'Trust Disrupted'

Last month, starting with Bitcoin in the News : 2016-09, I ended up with three 'In the News' posts and I can see I'm on track to do the same this month. After a quiet start to the month's news, things started to pick up:-

• Watch the trailer for our new series ‘Trust Disrupted: Bitcoin & The Blockchain’ (techcrunch.com) • 'What is bitcoin? What is the blockchain? How does it work? Who is behind it? Find the answer to all of these questions and more by tuning into the six-episode series.'

Unfortunately, the embedded video in that link uses a 30 second ad to introduce the 40 second trailer. Another TechCrunch page in the series used the same ad to introduce another clip, with no option to terminate it after a few seconds. Life is too short to lose time on irrelevant ads so I located the same series on Youtube.

Trust Disrupted: Bitcoin and the Blockchain (trailer) (0:39) • 'Traces the rise of Bitcoin and the technology that made it happen: the open, distributed ledger known as the blockchain. As blockchain technology has outpaced Bitcoin, an array of new apps has proliferated across the globe.'

The description continued,

Trust Disrupted is based on the book Digital Gold by Nathaniel Popper. Produced by Stateless Media, it is an exclusive TechCrunch series that offers an in-depth look into the how and why of bitcoin.

The description also included a link to a playlist for the series: Trust Disrupted. After this welcome interruption to the month's quiet start, I discovered another dozen topics worth exploring. I'll continue with those for my next post.
