CAS Project Blog #4

Due to the water crisis that hit Houston yesterday, I was unable to find the Rice cryptocurrency course meeting on campus as most of the buildings had been closed, and as no prior announcement was sent to notify the interns. Despite this I spent some time walking around the Rice University campus and admiring the various sites there are to see. Additionally, upon arriving home and grabbing dinner I curled up and did some cryptocurrency/blockchain research myself to fill this gap, so fortunately all was not lost.

CAS Project Blog #3

On February 20, I actually went to Rice University to attend day one of the course my internship supervisor taught to the MBA candidates. It was pretty interesting seeing all of the MBA candidates in the room, but it was also quite intimidating; me and my fellow intern were the only teens in the entire room, and presumably building, which I guess is really not surprising considering the context we were in. Although most of the information I already knew due to researching it to create the slideshow that was being displayed behind him, it was still a really cool experience attending an actual college course.

The research involved in creating these slides has been really cool and interesting, and has taught me a lot more about cryptocurrency and blockchain economics. An example of one of these slides is below:

CAS Project Blog #5

On the 29 of February I attended the final cryptocurrency/blockchain economics course for my internship. Although I missed the last meeting (which turned out to be taking place in another building that I was unaware of), this didn't really impede my ability to understand the content, especially because, as I mentioned in a previous blog post, most of the information I had already researched. It was also interesting seeing the various guests and speakers who have had experience in the cryptocurrency/blockchain space, which provides a nice contrast to the more theoretical and economical information that me and my fellow interns have been receiving.
