Faculty/Division: Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering
Department: APSC: Ofc of the Dean – Faculty General
Campus: St. George (Downtown Toronto)Description:Position: Sessional Lecturer I (2 position available)Course title and code: Blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies – APS1050Course description: A recent feature article at the Harvard Business Review points out that the emergence of Bitcoin and similar Blockchain technologies is a foundational change so profound that it can only be compared to the adoption of TCP/IP (transmission control protocol/internet protocol), the rule system and associated software that enabled the technology of distributed computer networking and laid the groundwork for the development of the internet.Like TCP/IP, Blockchain technologies could generate a complete new internet, with new associated business models. A tamper proof shared automatic ledger allows companies to equalize internal and external costs, reducing the advantages of scale for established heavy weights and benefiting broad alliances of smaller players. Smart contracts that automatically validate or trigger ledger transactions have the potential to entirely transform the organization and management of businesses, with special impact in contract negotiation and enforcement, accounting, sales and marketing, and capital investment.Bitcoin is a particular implementation of Blockchain technology that has led to a disruptive “product”: a digital cryptocurrency that has the potential to compete with fiat currencies. Bitcoin has risen in value from just $0.05 in mid-2010 to over $11,380 by January 2018, and is being widely used for real estate transactions in Japan, where it is recognized as legal tender, and in the emerging markets to the point of posing a challenge to regulators and central banks across the world. Bitcoin’s popularity has prompted the development of competing cryptocurrencies, and the emergence of a symbiotic community of legitimate and grey market entrepreneurs. Although hackers have exploited security gaps in service providers such as the bitcoin exchanges Mt. Gox (Bitcoin) and more recently, Coincheck (NEM), with spectacular success, the fact that Blockchain itself has never been hacked seems to justify the optimism of Bitcoin’s investors.1.
