Description

Blockchain technology is powering our future. As the technology at the back of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, open software platforms like Ethereum, and disruptive companies like Ripple, it’s too important to ignore.
 
In this revelatory book, Don Tapscott, the bestselling writer of Wikinomics, and his son, blockchain expert Alex Tapscott, bring us a brilliantly researched, highly readable, and essential book about the technology driving the way forward for the economy. 
 
Blockchain is the ingeniously simple, revolution­ary protocol that allows transactions to be concurrently anonymous and protected by maintaining a tamperproof public ledger of value. Though it’s best referred to 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 could also be essential to have in mind if you’re an artist who wants to make a living off your art, a consumer who wants to know where that hamburger meat actually came from, an immigrant who’s tired of paying big fees to send money home to your loved ones, or an entrepreneur on the lookout 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.
