Publisher's summary

This book is a one-stop attempt at bringing the blockchain technology to the masses by a clear and precise look at the different technologies and concepts that helped bring the technology into scalable dimensions. Never has there been a more disruptive invention in how money is created, distributed, and liberalized by ensuring that the power of deciding what to do with one’s wealth lies with that person. Starting as a simple way of transferring cash, cryptocurrencies have spawned different ideas that were hitherto not possible. It is now possible to carry out crowdfunding to sponsor wonderful ideas through crowd sales of cryptocurrencies, which removes the decision of which businesses will scale from banks’ boardrooms to the street.

And this is instructive in a world that knows no restrictions to the way it thinks about business and the creation of money anymore. Cryptocurrencies are even starting to question the centralized decision making when it comes to societal priorities. It is now possible to list "common good" projects on a blockchain and hardcode how to distribute a particular percentage of mining rewards.

If you have never understood anything about bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies, then this is a great place to start. What you will take away from listening to this book:

  • A good capability of identifying and understanding blockchain technologies
  • Understand how a blockchain works
  • Understand how decentralization is achieved through consensus algorithms
  • Understand how to invest in cryptocurrencies
  • Find resources that you can find online and continue understanding the technology better
  • Find out the relationship between decentralization and current government regulation
  • Have a good grasp of what the future holds for cryptocurrencies

This book is basically, one of many in a series of four that I’ve decided I needed to read. These read these works were recommended to me by another good friend and off on I can save a lot of time and energy if I take the recommendations on somebody who’s done the reading before me but not for me…
