Using terminology that is aimed at a non-technical reader, it gives those without a tech background an opportunity to understand how the blockchain works and how it will change the lives of everyone in the entire world.
From simple businesses, all the way to Wall Street; from the rolling green hills of Scotland, all the way to Hong Kong; The Blockchain will make daily impacts on the lives of billions of people.
Never before has there been a way to safely and securely transmit data that is not only easily, the most accurate and tamper-proof, but also the fastest and most efficient method of any type of data transfer that has ever been imagined.
Starting with Bitcoin, the controversial, volatile cryptocurrency that made us all aware of the power of the blockchain, we begin by looking into its infancy, where it was considered a joke and made fun of as nothing more than a novelty and a waste of time and then follow it through ups and downs, more jokes and laughter, only to arrive at the present.
A present where Bitcoin is more valuable than an ounce of gold and has carved its path into the global economy so deep that it is forever cemented as the game changer.
From Bitcoin came hundreds of other altcoins, cryptocurrencies with the same basic values of Bitcoin, built on various different technologies. This explosion of digital currencies helped to create a brand-new industry oversight. Fintech, an industry that did not exist 3 years ago, now has over 250,00 employees across every major industry on the planet, including government.
The author takes readers through a brief history of cryptography and how data encryption evolves into blockchain technologies, Bitcoin and distributed ledgers.
With easy to use examples and easy to follow text, readers with any level of technical ability will be able to easily understand how it works and how it can and WILL IMPACT THEIR LIVES.
This is not some possible future, no science fiction novel.
