This PRs add a link to a video in order to understand the function of Blockchain technology , which I think is quite useful for a newcomer. Besides, I have added a post related to features and differences between Ethereum and Bitcoin.

Hi @matextrem, thanks for the PR. The Ethereum vs. Bitcoin article seems useful, but I'm not sure about the video. This learning path is meant for people that want to learn to develop in Ethereum (admittedly, the name of the repo and the introduction are not very clear about this) and the video seems directed to other kind of public. At the very least, I wouldn't have it as the first item. Maybe we can add a "Talks" section and include it there?

Indeed, looks to me that Bettina Warburg's TED Talks targets a broader audience, which is kind of different from the specific one we are targeting here. On the other hand, I like the post on Bitcoin vs. Ethereum. Quite a good synopsis.
