<em><strong>STEEMIT EXCLUSIVE</strong>: I'm releasing my slides on steemit before posting them anywhere else. Please give feedback and support - you can help make this presentation rock and show everyone at Pubcon how much steemit rocks!</em>

<em>This is turning out to be a great way to get feedback on the slides before the presentation. Thanks for playing everyone! Based on the fact that it got the least upvotes by far, I think slide 10 needs to be changed. Please have a look at the new version below :)</em>

<em>Text: Money = Blockchain's Killer App.<br>Slide footnotes: 
Email was the first “killer app” of the internet - it even pre-dates it as it was created in 1980 something (though the first electronic mail dates back to the 1960’s) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Mail_Transfer_Protocol 
I think in a similar way, Bitcoin is the first killer app of blockchains.

Bitcoin is the first “decentralized digital money.”
