A paper a week, makes your blockchain knowledge sleek

Hello Everyone,

Hopefully, you're all doing very well.

On the back of a conversation with a Hong Kong-based friend this morning, I had an idea:

As many of you know, I have embarked on a crazy marathon of a journey since 2018. Yes, I am referring to my PhD in Finance on the subject of blockchain.

One of the essential learnings I had so far is that it is impossible to understand an academic paper without enough time.

Two challenges arise:

1) There is so much to read and learn! Check out the results returned if you search for blockchain on google scholar:

2) Most of us are extremely busy and hardly find the time to read academic papers at all. There is school and work and family and the eventual workout.

So, to help a little bit, I have decided to write a LinkedIn post every Tuesday morning.

The objective is to share one academic paper on blockchain that I found worth the time reading end-to-end.

Of course, you might not always agree with my choices. Rather than scrolling through thousands of google scholar results, I still hope to add value by curating, purely based on my preferences at this stage. :-)

Hopefully, you will find this helpful. I'll start today with a seminal paper that even Satoshi Nakamoto cites in the Bitcoin whitepaper:

Title: How to timestamp a digital document

Year: 1991

Authors: Stuart Haber, W. Scott Stornetta
