  • Summary

  • Byte-Sized Ethereum is a podcast where we make learning about Ethereum accessible for everyone. Many people do not know where to begin when they want to learn about cryptocurrency or blockchain technology. We intend to provide a gentle introduction to the topic for people with no technical experience or background knowledge. Our goal is to provide helpful analogies and simple explanations to cut through the buzzwords and jargon of the space, and to give everyone a basic understanding of the new paradigm shift that is occurring in the evolution of the internet.
