Blockchain technology has captured the minds of business leaders, entrepreneurs, and policy wonks all over the world. Major
media outlets report on the rise and fall of Bitcoin and Ethereum
tokens daily. Billions of dollars are flowing into blockchain startups
in some form. Large-scale cyber intrusions against crypto exchanges,
newly smart machines with wallets, and even semi-autonomous supply
chains are capturing the imaginations of enterprises everywhere. But, how well do you really understand the technology, economics and business of blockchain?

level, and internalize the economics and business of building companies
in the era of decentralized computing. While the technology may sound
complicated, the job for students and business leaders is understanding
how to drive value and success by adopting Web 3 technologies like
blockchain.
