What is the blockchain?

Chrissy Hill has been a lawyer, an investment banker, a COO of an institute and now has turned her attention to the blockchain. Chrissy sits on the C-suite of Parity Technologies, which builds blockchain infrastructure for other companies and where she is General Counsel. Chrissy is four months into her Web3 career, having made a major pivot from being COO at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, and like many of us she looks to metaphors and analogies to make sense of this new set of technologies. We talk about how the blockchain works in simple terms, and how culture differs between the public sector and the hectic new world of Web3.
