<h2>Blockchains and Cryptocurrencies Part 2: Value, Money, Currency</h2>

I am beyond excited to be back for part two of our "why crypto" series. 

Tonight we talk about the changes blockchains and cryptocurrency bring to the main tree: value, money, and currency.

I'm going to save it all for the discussion tonight.

See you soon!

<h1>What is Gridcoin?</h1>

Gridcoin is a multi-incentive permissionless blockchain initiated in 2013. It mints and distributes cryptocurrency in relation to the processing power a network participant directs toward data-driven analysis and scientific discovery, as well as through a proof-of-stake reward mechanism. The Gridcoin blockchain monitors processing contributions to the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Networked Computing (BOINC). BOINC hosts major institutional computing projects such as IBM’s World Community Grid, SETI, and CERN, alongside projects developed by students, enthusiasts, mathematicians, researchers, and citizen scientists. Access to Gridcoin's computation resources is free, while computation contributors are incentivized with cryptocurrency minted by the Gridcoin protocol.
