From sky-high Bitcoin prices to bold promises about revolutionizing entire industries, blockchain technology is everywhere—but how much of it is hype, and how much is real? In this episode of Bright Now, Curiosity Stream breaks down the future of blockchain and crypto in plain language. You’ll see how Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies actually work under the hood, whether blockchain is truly safe and trustworthy, why governments, banks, and even grocery stores are experimenting with it, and how it might reshape everything from your healthcare records to the global food supply. Whether you’re a true believer or a hardened skeptic, this is an essential explainer on the technology behind Bitcoin and the broader world of Web3. This episode is embedded via Curiosity Stream’s official YouTube channel; we do not host the video. Watch more Bright Now episodes and related documentaries at https://curiositystream.com/
