Episode 11 | Vincent Hoffmann on Blockchain Education

The topic of blockchain education is dear to my heart, which is the very reason why I started this podcast.

Once you start your blockchain education journey and start digging, it truly is never ending.

But you have to start because use cases with blockchain will be omnipresent in every industry in the years to come and we have only barely scratched the tip of the iceberg so far.

Like most people working in this industry, I have self taught my way into blockchain, but more and more universities and online educational platforms are exploring offering courses to meet the demands of this relentlessly expanding landscape.

According to the LinkedIN Learning Report 2020, blockchain ranked first in the most in demand hard skill.

To discuss this topic, I have the pleasure to have Vincent Hoffmann, the COO of HTML Coin & AltHash University, who has been dedicating his working hours in the past years to educate a global community of learners.

In this episode we will discuss;

• The challenges faced by companies to hire people with blockchain expertise;
• The approach of AltHash University to design their courses;
• How can blockchain technology transform Higher Education;
• The future of education and the importance of lifelong learning;
• And much more.

Blockchain is not Bitcoin, it’s the technology behind Bitcoin, and in this episode we dive into why your future self will thank you for learning blockchain today.

This episode is brought to you by AuditChain - the world's first decentralized continuous audit and real time reporting protocol.

Traditional audit methodology focuses on “materiality”, not accuracy. We are constrained by time and cannot audit 100% of the transactions, and therefore we perform sampling.

AuditChain decentralizes audit and uses an independent assurance methodology that automates auditing tasks, and continuously audits 100% of the transactions.

With AuditChain, Chartered Accountants and professionals will write and own Process Control NFTs that automate internal and disclosure controls, where these NFTs pay royalties in return.

With more and more automation, accountants will increasingly find themselves becoming redundant. If you are a forward thinking CPA or Chartered Accountant, and want to participate and be in touch with the latest developments from AuditChain in decentralizing the audit profession using blockchain, you should apply for membership by visiting DCARPE Alliance.

If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes. It takes less than 60 seconds, and it really makes a difference in helping to convince hard-to-get guests. Together we can help accountants prepare themselves for a blockchain future.
