Course outlines:

1.      Introduction

2.      Decentralized Networks

• In this lecture you'll learn about what is Decentralized networks and how they are different from centralized networks. In centralized networks, there is one centralized node which is distributed among the multiple nodes. On the other hand, there is no centralized node which controls all the nodes in the decentralized networks.

3.      What is Blockchain?

• In this lecture, you will learn what is Blockchain and how Blockchain works. This lecture will help you to understand the fundamentals of Blockchain and how Blockchain technology is related to cryptocurrency but it is not a cryptocurrency.

4.      Private and Public Blockchain

• In this lecture, you will learn about the difference between Private Blockchain and Public Blockchain.

5.      Bitcoin and Blockchain: What is the relation?
