Welcome to this guide, at this moment, with the appropriation of the developed contents and
complementary, you will always have a greater knowledge of blockchain in cryptocurrencies and how
financial consumer advisor in the application of this technology. The competition to develop through
the proposed teaching strategy Case-Based Learning (CBL) focuses its objective on enabling you to
generate data, analysis, and reflections on cases, experiences or situations in the context for the
advising or application from different perspectives.

The advancement of blockchain has influenced all existing sectors, for that reason and thanks to its
birth due to the economic crisis of 2008, this technology came to provide greater dynamism and
autonomy to a sector governed by a few, who in this case are no longer necessary.

With this promise, combined with traceability, anonymity, immutability, interoperability, security, and
the ingenuity of entrepreneurs and in its beginning enthusiasts has generated new ways to use it and one of them

Blockchain is a technology that has come to revolutionize the business world through the
digital transformation, and especially, in the area of finance regarding investments. It is a
technology that paves the way for new business opportunities and offers a wide range of possibilities
to implement in all economic sectors.

The most interesting thing is that due to its wide projection, blockchain has come to stay, which makes it necessary

Blockchain was created in 2008 to energize the world of transactions, removing intermediaries and
streamlining the transfer process, so that the stakeholders were involved in it without
intermediaries, who will have the support or guarantee of an entity. To put into practice everything
