On October 13th, our Speaker was Tony Margarit who introduced us to Crypto and Blockchain. He currently leads the finance & operations departments for Electric Coin Co. (creators of Zcash) and is also the Co-Chair of the Blockchain Association's Tax, Accounting & Bookkeeping Best Practices Working Group.

Blockchain is a digital ledger or data-base made up of blocks of data all linked. Everyone can see it but no one can change it. It is open-source technology. Requires no permission to use it for transactions and records all transactions made within it in perpetuity.

Crypto is a type of currency using blockchain technology. Examples are Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). ZCash ($ZEC) is the currency that our speaker is affiliated with. The creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, launched it in 2009. There are several other crypto currencies each operating using blockchain technology.
