Description
Blockchain book. Although blockchain technology is best known as the underlying infrastructure of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, its potential goes far beyond a simple financial system. This book takes an in-depth look at how blockchain, as the world’s fifth-largest computing paradigm after mainframes, personal computers, the Internet, and social/mobile networks, could transform the world’s economic and social structures. The author attempts to take readers beyond the initial level of financial transactions (Blockchain 1.0) and smart contracts (Blockchain 2.0) to the broader horizons of decentralized technologies.
This book explains in analytical language that blockchain is essentially a global public ledger that has the ability to record, track, and transfer all of humanity’s material and intellectual assets, including voting rights, health records, software works, and even ownership of genetic data. The author examines the long-term effects of this new structure from a philosophical and sociological perspective, showing how censorship-resistant organizations and independent identity systems can replace inefficient government services. This book is a comprehensive guide to understanding a future in which decentralization reigns supreme.
