This intensive course aims to investigate the ecosystem of green cryptocurrencies and how they can help to build a more sustainable world.
We will start from traditional crypto-mining, the process of creating new bitcoins (or other traditional cryptocurrencies) by solving extremely complicated math problems that verify transactions in a specific cryptocurrency.
