At the final session of the first ever The Bitcoin Masterclasses, five groups talked about their discussion topics related to what they've learned and outlined some of the applications made possible by blockchain.
On the third session of the inaugural The Bitcoin Masterclasses Day 2, Dr. Craig Wright discussed how to prove identity using the blockchain without a centralized authority.
The difference between privacy and anonymity boils down to transparency and lawfulness—characteristics that privacy possesses and being anonymous lacks.
Dr. Craig Wright continued his Bitcoin Masterclasses series with a lecture on the meaning of privacy as related to blockchain and Bitcoin.
In the second session of day two of The Bitcoin Masterclasses, Dr. Craig Wright talked about keeping identity private and how to share certain attributes without revealing all of them.
The first session of the second day of The Bitcoin Masterclasses covered the fundamental differences between privacy, confidentiality, and anonymity.
In the fourth session on Day 1 of The Bitcoin Masterclasses, Dr. Craig Wright talked about how party-to-party transactions work on Bitcoin and how it can revolutionize different industries.
In Dr. Wright's first session of The Bitcoin Masterclasses series, he gave a lecture on emphasizing the point that privacy and anonymity are different things.
Confidentiality differs from privacy in that information is shared with the right people, while maintaining privacy means that data is kept from people but is stored on-chain to prove one's identity.
The first session of The Bitcoin Masterclasses is done, but we're only getting started. Don't miss the next one in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on February 22 and 23!
Digital ID systems are inevitable, but should we fear them? As Dr. Craig S. Wright points out on Day 2 of The Bitcoin Masterclasses series, having a digital identity doesn't mean losing your privacy.
Like it or not, it seems digital identity is inevitable at this stage and rather than fighting the whole notion, we must create digital ID standards that offer privacy protections.
