I am a big blockchain enthusiast, and I loved watching “Banking on Bitcoin on Netflix.” Yesterday, by a giant coincidence, I wanted to test something with on the Chromecast of my friend.<\/em><\/p>\n

By a coincidence I did my testing with the new Netflix program, Explained. The latest episode had to do with diets, but as I looked through the titles for the different programs I discovered one with the title Cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n

\"Explaining
Explaining the principle of consensus in the blockchain in “Explained” on Netflix<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Explained is a short program on Netflix in which they try to speak about difficult topics in a short and informative way. One episode deals with one topic, and one episode lasts around 13 minutes. So, do you want to know more about cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin, and blockchain, take a look at the episode about Cryptocurrencies in the Explained series on Netflix?<\/p>\n

[stextbox id=’alert’ caption=’I like the concept in “Explained”‘ mode=’undefined’]I got to say that I like the concept of Explained. It makes Netflix more like a TV channel at which you can watch all sorts of programs, including the informative programs trying to explain interesting topics. Even though cryptocurrencies might be my favorite topic among these, I can easily imagine that I will take a look at some more episodes about other topics later.[\/stextbox]<\/p>\n

Did I like the Explained episode about cryptocurrencies?<\/h2>\n

I am a blockchain enthusiast. I might not be the biggest Bitcoin fan (as I do not like the way it controls the entire cryptocurrency world), but I always like positive articles and videos about Bitcoin. As I watched Explained I didn’t manage to decide entirely on whether or not I liked the episode. It wasn’t a “shill-movie” or a “bull-movie”, but that was never the goal of the episode either. Explained is about presenting a topic that people are interested in, and trying to describe it in an objective way.<\/p>\n

To be honest, this is probably a quite objective way of presenting the technology, so I do not think it is worth complaining about it. If blockchain and cryptocurrencies are the future, then they will survive and thrive, no matter what is said about it in a 13-minute episode on Netflix.<\/p>\n

Watch Explained on Netflix<\/h3>\n

As far as I know, Explained can be seen in all different Netflix regions around the globe. You do not need to change your region<\/a> in order to watch this, so just relax, visit Netflix.com, and watch the episode yourself!<\/p>\n
