Block chain, mostly known as the backbone technology behind Bitcoin, is one of the hottest and most intriguing technologies currently in the market, but what exactly is it - and can it somehow help you? Simply put, Block Chain is the digital equivalent of a banker's ledger, one that records and secures transactions between two parties. Set to cyberspace, this type of programming allows the transfer not only of data, but of value - making it a unique and fundamental building block of our emerging future. Block chain technology was originally developed in 2009 to enable individuals and organizations to process transactions without the need for a central bank or other intermediary, using complex algorithms and consensus to verify transactions. Now it has been adopted and modified by companies and start-ups the world over, and is being closely scrutinized by World Banks as the logical next step in digital finance. This book explains Block Chain in its entirety; its history, uses, potential, disadvantages and even its future. Understanding this valuable, open system is vital to creating the financial freedom you crave. Digital currency is no longer a pipe dream of the basement gamer, its real, it's here, and you need to comprehend how it moves and is secured in order to plan for a future that will see a revolution in our current banking system.

Blockchain technology is powering our future. As the technology behind cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and Facebook's Libra, open software platforms like Ethereum, and disruptive companies like Ripple, it’s too important to ignore. In this revelatory book, Don Tapscott, the bestselling author of Wikinomics, and his son, blockchain expert Alex Tapscott, bring us a brilliantly researched, highly readable, and essential book about the technology driving the future of the economy. Blockchain is the ingeniously simple, revolutionary protocol that allows transactions to be simultaneously anonymous and secure by maintaining a tamperproof public ledger of value. Though it’s best known as the technology that drives bitcoin and other digital currencies, it also has the potential to go far beyond currency, to record virtually everything of value to humankind, from birth and death certificates to insurance claims, land titles, and even votes. Blockchain is also essential to understand if you’re an artist who wants to make a living off your art, a consumer who wants to know where that hamburger meat really came from, an immigrant who’s tired of paying big fees to send money home to your loved ones, or an entrepreneur looking for a new platform to build a business. And those examples are barely the tip of the iceberg. As with major paradigm shifts that preceded it, blockchain technology will create winners and losers. This book shines a light on where it can lead us in the next decade and beyond.
