ABSTRACT
A solution to a problem that by many scientists was believed impossible to solve was proposed in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto. Since then the Bitcoin network has grown to be the biggest distributed computer in existence.

In this talk I will explain how Bitcoin works at a technical level and discuss other possible applications of 100% decentralized networks.
