What actually is a cryptocurrency (ENGLISCH VERSION):

Disclaimer:
Unfortunately this talk is in German. I hope auto translation to English is somehow reasonable.
Some Context: Fefe, a well known IT security expert and "cyber" activist (Chaos Computer Club) from Germany gives a talk about blockchain technology in front of traditional investors. Interestingly, this event was hosted by the "Frankfurt School of Finance & Management", a private university offering "studies" focusing blockchain technology, crypto currencies, etc. The lead professor of the institute sits in front of the row, who was praising crypto in a talk before (although admitting many fails in the crypto industry). Fefe basically starts from zero how encryption works, to smart contracts, NFTs, scammers, etc. He just nails everything, and perfectly shows how stupid this is from a technical point of view taking practical scenarios into account. The only argument the "crypto professor" had after the talk was "Bitcoin price is still good. So your talk is basically an ode to Bitcoin". I assume most of the investors in the audience didn't invest huge amounts in crypto after that. Good for them.
