Cryptocurrencies 101, presented by The Ocean

‘Cryptocurrencies 101’ will introduce you the burgeoning cryptocurrency and blockchain industry, from the perspective of an algorithmic trader. This webinar will focus on cryptocurrency and blockchain basics, starting with the protocol that started it all, Bitcoin. As always, if you can’t make the live webinar it will be recorded and shared on YouTube. We’ll discuss the ‘world computer’ Ethereum, the ICO craze, and the current state of the industry. Finally, we’ll cover basic cryptocurrency valuation, correlation, and trading frameworks to get you started trading. This webinar series assumes basic knowledge of trading algorithms and valuation frameworks. No prior experience trading or developing cryptocurrencies or blockchains is required.
