Leading the cutting edge of permissionless blockchain innovation around the world.
blocktech is an international blockchain venture studio guided by the leadership of Nick Spanos. Our origins date to the founding of the Bitcoin Center in New York City, the world’s first physical cryptocurrency exchange, located right next to the New York Stock Exchange. At the Bitcoin Center, we taught thousands of students, journalists, technologists, and finance professionals about cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, Now, through the development of our own projects and proprietary technologies, we are expanding and pioneering permissionless blockchain innovation all around the world.
Our projects include:
Bitcoin 101
Bitcoin 101, held all day on Saturday and Sunday, introduces students to bitcoin, cryptocurrency, and blockchain technology, and includes a broad discussion of the history of digital money, as well as an overview of the cryptography that makes it work (including hashing, mining, mining algorithms, etc.) We’ll also set up students with their first Bitcoin wallet and give them practical experience first sending and receiving cryptocurrency. Participants who successfully complete this course receive a certificate issued by Bitcoin Center NYC.
Intermediate Blockchain Course
Intermediate topics in blockchain technology, held the following Monday through Friday, takes students through a deeper dive into cryptocurrency trading, online exchanges (Cryptopia, HitBTC, Coinbase, Gemini, Binance), proof of work, proof of stake, hash chain, Merkle trees, SHA-256, and an introduction to Ethereum, EOS, Rootstock, Litecoin and initial coin offerings, as well as cold storage and physical wallets. Participants who successfully complete this course receive a certificate issued by BlockTech LLC. (Successful completion of Bitcoin 101 is a prerequisite for taking this course.)
Advanced Bootcamp
