Conversation 185: An introduction to digital assets - what is blockchain and why is it so important to digital assets

Whether it is Bitcoin, Dogecoin, or any of the literally hundreds of digital currencies and assets available today, there is one thing that is certain.

There has never been more hype about an investment class. Period.

Even the Dutch Tulip Bubble, one of the greatest price bubbles of all time, doesn’t seem to have equaled what is going on today.

But just what does this all mean for the future of investing and where does blockchain fit in.

Apart from leading the listed company DigitalX [ASX:DCC], Executive Director Leigh Travers would be one of the most experienced people in Australia when it comes to digital assets.

I caught up with him recently for a series of interviews on this fascinating topic.

Here is part two in which we explore Blockchain technology and how it works.
