Blockchain technology is transforming our world. It's too essential to ignore as the technology powering cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and Facebook's Libra, open software platforms like Ethereum, and disruptive firms like Ripple.
Don Tapscott, bestselling author of Wikinomics, and his son, blockchain expert Alex Tapscott, present us a superbly researched, extremely readable, and vital book about the technology driving the future of the economy in Blockchain Revolution, one of the best books on Blockchain.
Blockchain is a brilliantly simple, game-changing protocol that allows transactions to be both anonymous and safe by maintaining a tamperproof public ledger of value. Though it is best recognized as the technology behind bitcoin and other digital currencies, it has the potential to transcend far beyond finance, recording nearly everything of value to humanity, from birth and death certificates to insurance claims, land titles, and even votes.
If you're an artist wanting to make a living from your art, a consumer curious about where your hamburger meat comes from, an immigrant tired of paying high fees to send money home to loved ones, or an entrepreneur looking for a new platform to start a business, blockchain is crucial to grasp. And those are just the tips of the iceberg.
Blockchain technology, like previous significant paradigm shifts, will produce winners and losers. This book sheds insight on where it might take us in the coming decade and beyond.
