Understanding Blockchain: Learn How Blockchain Technology is Powering Bitcoin, Cryptocurencies, and the Future of the Internet
Blockchain is Reshaping the Internet and the World as We Know It!
“Blockchains allow the people to operate the network… Wherever a ruler is exploiting a digital network, blockchains will disrupt.”
- Naval Ravikant, co-founder of AngelList and partner at MetaStable Capital
Less than 10 years after its initial conception and implementation in Bitcoin, blockchain technology is being heralded as the most revolutionary innovation since the internet.
While many are still skeptical about cryptocurrencies, the majority of people who have come to understand blockchain agree that it has transformative potential.
The problem is that money has begun flooding into the cryptocurrency market, and with it come bad actors and misinformation. It’s nearly impossible now for somebody who is unfamiliar with the industry to separate the hype and nonsense from the facts. Understanding Blockchain is a straightforward solution to that problem.
In this concise beginner’s guide, you will learn about:
The basics of blockchain technology
How blockchain technology actually works
The history of Bitcoin and blockchain
The difference between Bitcoin and blockchain
How Bitcoin mining and cryptography works
Advantages of blockchain technology
The dangers of blockchain technology
Ethereum and the next stage of Blockchain 2.0
Use of blockchains in business, including examples with real companies already using blockchain technology
Why blockchains and cryptocurrencies are inseparable from each other
The future of blockchain technology
Blockchain technology presents an alternative to corrupt and centralized institutions, as well as costly and inefficient middlemen.
Whether you’re looking to use it to improve your business, invest in cryptocurrencies, or just learn for curiosity’s sake, this book will help answer your questions and show you why there is so much buzz about blockchain.
“Governments will lose the ability to conjure money out of thin air….Humans will again build upon an honest, market-based financial system, having escaped fiat currency debasement, the most egregious financial scam of all time.”
- Eric Voorhees, CEO of Shapeshift

I think this was actually great. Just don't expect a book. This is not the all-encompassing story of blockchain. This is a 2-hour aperitif, which in very basic, simple words and analogies explains what Blockchain is, how it works, and what applications it may behold.
So if you are a few hours away, running to your next prospect that has this crazy idea of Blockchain applications for is business, and you do not have a clue - this one if for you.
If you want all the gory details, specifications and applications up-to-date, don't read the book, read the web.
