Podcast appearances and mentions of diana berryman

Today Maya is joined by her colleague Diana Berryman, Head of Social Media at BlockSparks, to talk about a special project: the publication of Beyond The Chain.  Beyond The Chain is a novel - about liberation, mental health, relationship, memory... and bitcoin. Written first and foremost to tell a story, the book also serves as a valuable primer for those new - like the protagonist - to understanding the basic principles of crypto and blockchain, as a path to personal financial freedom and an alternative way of being.   __________________________________________________________________________________ And if you like what you hear, we’ll be sharing new episodes every fortnight.

Today we explore learning about the Blockchain, because this is a forever ongoing process! I am joined by my colleague Diana Berryman, who runs social media at BlockSparks, for ourselves and for our clients. I recruited her to the team based on her expertise in this particular craft, so she had to get up to speed fast on the brave new world of blockchain and crypto.   So I wanted to talk to Diana about what helped her to do this, which resources she found most useful at the start. Our discussion ranges from Youtube influencers, to staying on top of rolling news via the Twitter lists she is curating daily anyway - the perfect way to scan the important conversations.  And we also touch on the University of Nicosia’s MOOC, ‘Introduction to Digital Currencies’, which she and some of our colleagues are currently undertaking, joining a global cohort of thousands. A comprehensive and well-structured overview of the key areas in crypto and blockchain, and it’s FREE - what more can you ask? Find out more about the course here:  https://digitalcurrency.unic.ac.cy/free-introductory-mooc/ We also recommend the Jameson Lopp list of Bitcoin Resources https://lopp.net/bitcoin.html And check out our social media feeds that Diana manages, sharing the best in crypto news and info: https://twitter.com/BlockSparks https://www.facebook.com/blocksparks.io/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/blocksparks/   Crypto Alphabet: B is, of course, for Bitcoin. The original cryptocurrency, minted in January 2009 - it remains the highest priced and highest market cap by a wide mile, and for many it’s the only crypto in existence.  Learn about where it all began!
