Throughout this book, we will focus on public blockchains and their native assets, or what we will define as cryptoassets, because we believe this is where the greatest opportunity awaits the innovative investor. Sometimes, cryptoassets have the exact same name as their parent blockchain but with different capitalization. Other times there’s a slightly different name for the asset. For example, the native asset of Bitcoin’s blockchain is bitcoin, the native asset of Ethereum’s blockchain is ether, the native asset of Litecoin’s blockchain is litecoin, etc.
