The global financial crisis, which started in 2007 in the U.S.A. with the real estate bubble, has strongly shaken the trust of citizens in banks. At that time (2009), the bitcoin appeared for the first time, which is based on the blockchain technology and permits a decentralized management of transactions as a "distributed ledger" technology. The blockchain as a technology is currently considered as the revolutionary innovation of the past decades. The course imparts the knowledge required to understand the principle of this new technology.
