however one thing most of the introductory videos do wrong is selling blockchain as some kind of magic which IMO is irrational. For example, in the quoted video, instructor refers blockchain as -
distributed real-time peer to peer immutable database
Yes you are right and I am aware of this which is why I mentioned in OP
These videos does provide a little technical aspects but don't rely on them heavily and beginners should do their own research to get detailed understanding of these concepts.
I'll add a note to the OP though. Thanks.
If blockchain is to be used for let say, Real Estate, who is going to add data to the chain? Government? If yes then how much work will the government do to secure the chain? Would that be enough to avoid 51% attack from external agents? One argument against this is government will use permission-based blockchain where only government will have permission to add data. My counter-argument is, if it's down to permission then what is wrong with using centralized permission-based database? An important point to consider before dreaming to build Rome on blockchain is how are you going to make blockchain secure at first place.
In my opinion, smart contracts are sufficient for Real Estate use-case where all the paper work is validated by a trusted person and it is passed on in digital format to the smart contracts.
Once the smart contracts validate it as a valid entry it will store the data on the blockchain which can never be changed after this point.
The other nodes on the network can verify the entry and thus decentralization would be achieved for Real Estate.
Nice thread mate , there is a lot of youtube channels that are doing daily vidoes about blokchain , bitcoin and other altcoins but they dont get the required
attention and thats why you dont see them in the first pages of youtube ..
You guys can always throw your suggestions on this thread. I will go through each of them and add it to OP if you guys find a good video which is helpful for others.
also if you could find some courses and youtube videos that are talking about technical analysis that would be great for your topic if you added them to it , because im sure that many members here are looking for those kind of videos but they dont know how to look well about them .
I believe beginners need to understand the terminology first rather than blindly trading an asset. This thread is for beginners who want to understand what is all about.
Trading videos can have separate thread :-)
I have made a thread earlier on some courses. You can check them out and let me know in case of any concerns.
