The Blockchain Revolution: How Cryptocurrency Is Shaping the New Digital Economy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781729259887)

Blockchain technology is one of the most exciting ideas to come around in a long time. It empowers cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Litecoin, along with platforms such as Ethereum and Neo. It also has the potential to revolutionize banking by allowing for the safe, instant and permissionless movement of money across all borders.

We've seen this story play out time and time again. People used to laugh at investors who held Apple stock in the 90s. The use of email was written off as a joke. At one point in time, the entire internet itself was thought of as a fad that would soon fade away. Look where we are today. Now what if I told you that you are early to the next big technological revolution?

The Blockchain Revolution is a book written to be comprehensible for everyone who is curious about cryptocurrency, regardless of prior knowledge level.

In this comprehensive guide, we'll take an in-depth look at blockchain technology, including its past and future developments, and how it relates to cryptocurrency. We will cover everything you need to know before joining the crypto space.
