Publisher's Summary

The world is undergoing a deep 360° revolution

Learn everything you need to know about blockchain.

In the past few years, the world has seen the tendency towards favoring decentralized systems, rather than depending on a central authority. The infrastructure that is allowing this revolution to take place is called blockchain.

What is it? In the words of Don and Alex Tapscott, two of the biggest experts in the cryptocurrency sphere, “The blockchain is an incorruptible digital ledger of economic transactions that can be programmed to record not just financial transactions, but virtually anything of value.”

It is an extremely powerful concept that permits us to cut out every central system, using a relationship of trust instead. However, by diving deep inside this fascinating topic, it is easy to see that there is an entire part of blockchain that is not often discussed.  

Why was it invented? Is it the same thing as Bitcoin? Why is it becoming so popular? What impact might it have in the next few years?  

All fair questions that deserve deep and well-researched answers. In this book, Corey Bowen has condensed years of studying and developing dapps (decentralized applications), providing a complete education about the world of blockchain. 

With his flawless style and his profound knowledge, Corey managed to put together a simple yet efficient approach to introducing people to the world of blockchain and cryptos. 

This manual goes into well-researched and newbie-friendly reflections about the most important aspects of blockchain, such as:

  • What blockchain is
  • Blockchain’s future
  • Differences between blockchain and Bitcoin
  • Pros and cons of the blockchain infrastructure
  • The relationship between blockchain and the financial industry
  • How can blockchain affect other industries?
  • What Hard Forks are 
  • The big impact of blockchain

By listening to this book, you not only get a better understanding of blockchain's world in general, but you get access to powerful information that provides a 360° education. 

Disclaimer: This book is not for you if your goal is to get a quick and superficial grasp of blockchain.

Corey fully believes in this technology and wanted to offer a complete education through this manual, while still letting the average Joe to understand it easily.

Way too short

It's good for a first contact with the subject but too shallow. If you have 30 minutes to spend it is worth the time.
