TechCrunch started an exclusive web series on its YouTube Channel on October 10 that is based on bitcoin and blockchain technology.

Produced by Stateless Media and TechCrunch, the series “Trust Disrupted: Bitcoin and the Blockchain” is based on the book Digital Gold by Nathaniel Popper. In addition to Popper, the six-episode series will feature bitcoin developers, influencers and scholars tracing the history of bitcoin and analyzing its future.

The first episode went live on Monday, which started off with Popper saying:

“Bitcoin first emerged in 2008, the initial paper and software came from someone going by the name of Satoshi Nakamoto. The idea behind the system was that it would be a financial network outside the control of government, outside the control of banks ...”

According to TechCrunch, the second episode will look into the global network of mines and miners that govern the bitcoin system. The third in the series will explore the controversy of how to deal with the flood of traffic to the network – whether it should be centralized or decentralized.

The fourth episode will examine the growth and rise of cryptocurrencies and growing acceptance into mainstream financial institutions. The fifth episode will focus on Ethereum and the last one will look into the recent debate between the Open Blockchain (Silicon Valley) and the Closed Blockchain (Wall Street).
