Contents and objectives

Looking back at the history that led to the discovery of Bitcoin is essential to fully understanding its specific characteristics, from the concept of decentralization to that of blocks, validator nodes, and miners, to the applications of asymmetric cryptography within the protocol and its impact on the concept of immutability. The course aims to clarify key concepts, highlighting their specific features, applications, and potential developments, as well as debunking some false myths that, in any case, represent an increasingly weak narrative
