Читать книгу Introduction to Blockchain Technology - Tiana Laurence - Страница 6

Dear reader,

You have heard buzz words like “bitcoin”, “blockchain”, and “cryptocurrency”. They are everywhere. Companies and governments have started to use blockchain technology in earnest and will increasingly do so for the foreseeable future. It is time to take an in-depth look at blockchain technology, and how you can take advantage of its potential.

This book is perfect for you if you are looking to expand your knowledge of blockchain technology but are not a programmer. It is about software but not written for technical experts. It assumes that you have little to no knowledge of the subject and will explain topics as simply as possible, while not obscuring details that may affect you. The book will give you insight into the critical differences in blockchain software and will provide you with a basic understanding of how and why they work.

After reading this volume, you will be able to speak with confidence on the topic, know key differences in technology, and why they are relevant to you, your company, and your industry. You will also have critical insight into blockchain software’s inherent limitations and shortcomings.

The popularization of blockchain has shrouded the sector into the realm of alchemy. Attaching the words “tokenization” and “blockchain” have spontaneously transformed the mundane into the magical. This book will demystify the topic and cut through the hype. You will understand the changes that are happening and uncover any pretense.

In this book, each chapter ends with review questions to help you better understand the core of the chapter.

I hope you will enjoy this book.

Kind regards,

Tiana Laurence
