Blockchain is slowly hitting the mainstream. After the 2013 Bitcoin hype followed by the MtGox implosion and nearly two-year period of depression with lots of projects launched and failed, money invested and lost, scam, speculation and hacks, Blockchain is now mature enough to move from the community innovation lab into real-world business applications.

Blockchain today is also a lot more than Bitcoin. While Bitcoin is still the most powerful reserve cryptocurrency, the attention has moved to Blockchain as a general concept for a decentralised economy and governance, becoming a social, economic and technological paradigm shift, rather than just an obscure, innovative database.

While more and more people want to understand Blockchain, it is not always easy for newcomers to navigate through the maze of online resources, tech specifications, Reddit discussions and Slack channels.

To make this journey easier for our new Neufund team members, we created a concise on-boarding process, which guides you step-by-step, from the very basics of Blockchain definition, through getting your first BTC and ETH wallet, to understanding some more financial and technical details of ICOs, trading and smart contracts.

We’d like to share it with everyone who is new to Blockchain and would like an easy start:

We are frequently updating this tutorial, to make sure it’s always up to date, and whenever we find better resources. And, of course, we would appreciate any of your tips and comments.
