This document provides an overview of investing in blockchain and cryptocurrencies. It discusses the future potential of blockchain to disrupt financial systems similar to how the internet disrupted media. It also examines some of the top initial coin offerings (ICOs) in 2017 that raised hundreds of millions of dollars and the returns in the cryptocurrency market that year. Financial industry applications of blockchain that are well-suited include payments, private equity, bonds, and trading/spending records. However, there are still legal uncertainties around cryptocurrencies and initial coin offerings that investors should be aware of.

- 17. A Peer-To-Peer Electronic Cash System A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution. Digital signatures provide part of the solution, but the main benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double- spending. The network timestamps transactions by hashing them into an ongoing chain of hash- based proof-of-work, forming a record that cannot be changed without redoing the proof-of-work.
