An introduction to a complex subject
Jmcenanly✓ Verified Purchase•May 30, 2018
Everyone has heard of blockchain but few people know what it is. When you read this book, you will know enough to have an idea of what blockchains are, what they can be used for, and what 'mining' is. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to know about the subject, as blockchains are going to be in just about everything in the very near future.
I thought this little book was AWESOME!! I knew a bit about blockchain before

I thought this little book was AWESOME!! I knew a bit about blockchain before, including some cases where I've read about it being researched for use, and after reading this book, I feel fairly well-versed in all things blockchain -- exactly how it works in several arenas, who is using it and why, and who and what *might* be using it in the future! VERY well-explained and easy to follow! THANK YOU!! :-)
Just the right amount of detail

Very quick read, but gave me the level of detail that I was looking for. I work at a software company, in a non-technical capacity. The book gave me enough of a foundation so that I can better understand blockchain strategy discussions at work.
I randomly picked 4 blockchain book samples and I after I read the samples I like this one most

I learned from 0 with this book. I randomly picked 4 blockchain book samples and I after I read the samples I like this one most. The book is focused in explain the blockchain concepts, why they are important, why they are growing in popularity. It also contains little deep technical knowledge although you can skip those chapters. I consider it a good introduction book because It accomplished its purpose, you need to understand the concepts in order to understand the difference between the technology implementation across the different blockchain platforms (bitcoin, etherum).
I payed 1 dollar and I learned a lot.

A quick read and good starting point

This is more like a lengthy article than a small book. The author repeats himself and more than once uses the phrase "more about that later" which , in my view, is a gimmick to add pages. Did not fool me sir!
However I believe the basics are covered and it is a quick read. You can get the understanding of what the blockchain is and with some examples why there are so many crypto currencies and other possible applications for the technology.
You will need to go elsewhere to get in depth analysis of what comes next. By all means use this as a starting point. Especially if you are planning to "invest". It's good to hear how different sources talk about the same issue.
