The hype-fog surrounding the blockchain and its offspring cryptocurrencies is peaking, and this webinar slices through it. Is the blockchain revolutionary in scope? Absolutely will it all play out in line with the investment dollars? Not at all. Squaring the Blockchain Circle critiques the blockchain ecosystem.

ICOs have resulted in some twenty billion dollars flowing into projects even as bubble indicators flash red. Bitcoin has the Midas touch. But there’s manifest blindness elsewhere, and Kunal decimates most half-baked, misconceived blockchain applications attracting funding. The webinar highlights that very few tokens which will deliver lasting value as the next Google or Amazon, and there will be a crash before things normalise. As the co-founder and CEO of uTrade and Hashcove, Kunal has been a part of the euphoria surrounding this technology, as well as a student of its superb prowess.

• Part II  discusses four specific aspects — decentralisation, trust and truth, security and scalability.
