Blockchain: Ultimate guide to understanding blockchain, bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, smart contracts and the future of money

"On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog."--Peter Steiner
"On the blockchain, nobody knows you're a fridge." - Richard Gendal Brown
Blockchain technology has been called the greatest innovation since the internet. Governments and companies are rushing to implement blockchain technology in a range of areas that could impact every person on the planet within a few years. Is blockchain technology one of the greatest technological revolutions in history or is it just hype? Will blockchain technology cause governments and banking systems to change the way they process information or will it be business as usual? In this book, we'll look at the answers to these questions along with addressing the different sides of the arguments, for and against, blockchain technology. This book will explain what blockchain technology is, how it works, and the potential uses along with the impact of the technology. While it will cover a lot of the potential applications and benefits, it is not a book that will solely evangelize blockchain technology as the answer to all the problems in governments, banking systems or industries. The aim is to provide a balanced understanding of blockchain technology combining the benefits and potential uses with the risks, disadvantages and addressing some of the hype around it. This book is written for people new to blockchain technology looking for a non-technical understanding of the technology. There are some technical aspects covered towards the end of the book; however, the technical details of the blockchain are not the focus of the
book. When first learning about blockchain technology, I found there was a lot of technical information about blockchain technology scattered and poorly structured, but no clear guide startingfrom a non-technical basis. I have written this book as it is the book I wanted to read when first learning about and trying to understand the blockchain. I hope you enjoy reading this book and find it useful, educational, and insightful in your understanding of blockchain technology.
