Unlike any other book about blockchain, it’s filled with funny, interesting stories but still let you understand what it is. Clearly explain. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to understand this technology that we all should learn sooner than later!
I keep hearing about “blockchain,†but whenever I try to learn about it, I can’t figure it out. Until now. This book really made me “feel†what blockchain is all about. Now I know that I can talk about it like an intelligent person, and it also gives me some tools for imagining how it might work in my own business. I highly recommend it.
Wow! This book beautifully clarified a subject matter that I had long ago dismissed as impossible for me to understand! And- it made it clear why it's so important to understand it. Bravo!
Wonderful book for any business minds trying to unpack the potential (and differentiation) of blockchain technologies for innovation and future offerings, Highly recommended.
When cyrptocurrency prices shot up in 2017, a flood of books on blockchain and related topics hit the shelves. Some were good, most were rushed and flawed, some were near worthless. This book is in the last category and 18 months too late.One problem is the author does not understand, or at least never tries to explain, the technology. Of course there is room for books that explain implications of technology without discussing the underlying theory, but this book fails in that as well.The one aspect the author is clear about is that the blockchain is a ledger. There is lots of material on the history of ledgers, and discussions of how ledgers are useful. For example, one of his major blockchain use cases is land registry in Honduras. There's no doubt that a land ownership ledger is useful. That's precisely the 1858 idea of Robert Torrens, whose system spread rapidly throughout the world. But Torrens Title is not a blockchain in any sense. It's a centralized, unencrypted ledger maintained by the government. All the problems in Honduras could be solved by Torrens.Now there are reasons why a blockchain could be useful for Honduran land registry, but they are not discussed in the book. They cannot be, because the author has laid none of the groundwork. We might imagine that Hondurans distrustful of the government began their own public, decentralized, encrypted ledger--a blockchain--to record land ownership. They would need no permission, no one could stop them. If enough people used it voluntarily, buyers might start insisting on blockchain title, or at least examining the blockchain for possible title disputes. If so, sellers would have an incentive to obtain and defend blockchain title. If enough people did this for long enough, the blockchain could become the authoritative legal proof of land ownership.The benefits of the blockchain, as opposed to the simple ledger, is it requires no trusted central authority and no coercion. Once in place, it has strong protections against corruption. These are the things a blockchain book should discuss, not the benefits of a ledger.The author soon runs out of examples of useful ledgers, but instead of delving deeper into blockchain he starts discussing all kinds of things that are at best tangential. The cryptocurrency bitcoin uses a blockchain, so all digital currencies are topics for discussion, whether or not they use blockchains. Digital currencies are used to finance some distributed autonomous organizations, so those get chapters. Distributed autonomous organizations are pursuing some cool ideas--possibly visionary, possibly deluded--and those make fun topics.The result of this topic drift is the book resembles a random assortment of feature articles on ideas on blockchain, digital currency, cryptography, game theory and related field that could have been written anytime in the last decade. There's little unifying theme, and the articles themselves are pretty superficial.I recommend you either find a good book on blockchain that explains the technology and its possible applications, or a good book on implications of trustless pseudonymous value exchange for economics and society.
I've been doing a deep dive into blockchain for a couple of years now, and this book was a refreshing take on an enormous concept. Blockchain is becoming an integral part of business, but not yet consumer life. The author does a great job of showcasing applications for both accessibly and imaginatively, while weaving blockchain 101 throughout.First off, it's very well-written. I can't stand books where I pick apart the writing and can't get into the zone, and the author is very good. I even have a hard time reading on an airplane, and this book was a welcome addition to one of my flights.Second, I would say that this quick read would be great for nontechnical folks or beginners to blockchain who need to know what the big deal is in a short amount of time. It's also useful for folks like myself who are are tech savvy through a business or sustainability lens, but not necessarily coders.I also liked how much time he spent talking about blockchain through a sustainability lens, which I hadn't encountered in a book yet. The potential for blockchain to disrupt business, ownerships, and even how we govern ourselves was so uplifting. I wasn't expecting it, but this would also be good to read if you need a pick me up with all the sh*t that's going on in the world and/or are generally interested in sustainability.
