In this second lecture of the three part series on blockchain technology, Steve Akers, Boston University Alumnus and serial entrepreneur, explains details of Bitcoin addressing, transaction pseudonymity and cryptographic wallets. He explains how Bitcoin and cryptocurrency can be safely deployed in electronic commerce environments and explains the intricacies of a transaction in Bitcoin. He explains why the inventors of Bitcoin selected their approach of using a "Turing incomplete" language to validate transactions, and compares that to Ethereum and its opposite approach of providing a full virtual machine environment on top of public blockchain.

The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) can execute full computer programs on the blockchain, allowing the use of "smart contracts" that can enforce contractual behavior programmatically. Mr. Akers explains the two approaches and sets up a full discussion of Ethereum and smart contracts in lecture three.
