"This is a very fascinating and often unique knowledge for listeners."

Guests in the course of the "Business Analytics" seminar never cease to amaze both current students and external listeners! 

Last week Lucas Roorda, Head of Business Development at Blockchair, visited the seminar. He told his audience about the blockages - what technology and what information is stored in them - and revealed the secrets of Tokenomics: what modeling methods can build a sustainable and autonomous economy.

Maxim Frolov, a MASNA 2020 graduate, agreed to share his emotions about the past master class:

"A lecture from a practitioner is always distinguished by its specifics, presence of real cases, and experience in mistakes solving. This is an inspiring and often unique knowledge for listeners.

At the same time, the lecturer described all the constituent blocks of an integrated system – blockchain technology and gave an example of its work in native currency – bitcoin.

It started from basic principles underneath modern networks and lasted through complex terms like Proof of Work, Token, ICO, etc.

Conclusions I have after lection:

- We already live in an electronic currency age

- Money is just social & economic consensus

- Blockchain technology provides a p2p alternative for fiat currency

- Financial sector had challenges of resilience, costs, and inclusion

- Fiat currency has had challenges & instabilities as well

- Must overcome privacy, control, and adoption challenges

- Majority of ICOs have failed, but what lives are thriving a lot

One particular question is without an answer - who is (are?) Satosho Nakamoto? Maybe next time we will have an answer.

Thank you, Lukas Roorda, for such useful lection".
