Is it already too late to invest in Bitcoin? How does a blockchain work? What does Facebook plan with the cryptocurrency Libra? And what are the actual electricity costs for bitcoin mining? Questions such as these move users on the net, they enter the Google search term or place them on platforms such as Gutefrage.net and Quora.

Networld editor Markus Böhm asked an expert for the answers. With him in the "power supply" studio is the Berlin professor Katarina Adam, who deals scientifically, but as a co-founder of a start-up also practically with the blockchain technology and its influence on society.

At the University of Applied Sciences Berlin (HTW), Adam teaches Industrial Engineering. She teaches corporate finance, is the organizer of the conference Blockchain @ HTW and is working on a book on blockchain application.
