Government Of Ukraine Releases Cryptocurrencies Web Series
The Ukrainian Ministry of Digital Transformation sponsors a web show to educate people about blockchain and cryptocurrencies.
The series was released on Wednesday and was developed in collaboration with Binance, Hacken, and Crystal Blockchain as part of the Ukrainian government’s “Diia. Digital Education” program.
There are a total of eight episodes of six to 12 minutes each explaining the basic concepts of cryptocurrency and blockchain. Andriy Onistrat, an entrepreneur and former banker, is the host of the show who interviews guests working in the blockchain industry.
The first episode which is available on YouTube talks about the concept of cryptocurrencies as a permissionless, unstoppable transaction ledger. Special focus is given to the concept of supply auditability. Binance marketing manager in Ukraine, Ivan Paskar, explains how Bitcoin maintains an immutable, auditable supply.
Onistrat and Paskar discussed more complex ideas as well, mentioning Ethereum, smart contracts, and decentralized exchanges.
Viewers who completed all the episodes will receive a certificate of completion. The government of Ukraine aims to bring digital literacy in the country. Ukrainian ministry also offers other shows which include “digital lessons for teachers” and “how to become a YouTube blogger.”
The ministry has been in collaboration with Binance since last year when it signed a memorandum of understanding to help design the country’s cryptocurrency regulation.
