Hello Robert!

I would like to have a video documentary explaining a little bit of the history of money / trust based institutions (banks, exchanges, notarial certificates…) then introducing Cryptocurrency and later more specifically Tezos and a vision of a future with DLT integrated in the society. The kind of documentary with didactic cartoons you could watch with your family or friends without deep tech or financial knowledge and get everyone hyped. Something around the 1hour length mark.

Thanks for reading and welcome to your new position!

Hello Eguzki! There is not such video for now, but that’s clearly an interesting idea.

However, I suggest you have a look at that instructive video on the overview of cryptocurrencies and Tezos. It’s 2 years old but very explanatory.

Those articles that Arthur wrote on what do blockchains accomplish, the philosophy and value of Tezos explain as well the whole value proposition.

Thank you! A discussion has started on the topic here: TezQF: A Quadratic Funding and CLR matching based grants platform on Tezos
