How can I raise funding for my startup via an ICO? What are winning strategies to invest into ICOs, blockchain startups and trade liquid cryptocurrencies? How can large corporations benefit or be disrupted from blockchain? What is Bitcoin and how does the blockchain work? What is Ethereum and how can smart contracts transform my industry? How will blockchain change my business, government and society? How can I tokenize my business? What do lawyers say about regulations and legality of ICOs in specific countries? Romans tapped into the collective wisdom of over 200 top practitioners to answer these questions and help you become a master of blockchain and initial coin offerings (ICOs).
