In this deft, fascinating, and easy-to-digest introduction to one of the most important innovations of recent times, Stephen P. Williams answers all of your blockchain questions, revealing how cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are just one example among dozens of transformative applications that this relatively new technology makes possible. He interprets the complexity into digestible anecdotes, metaphors, and straightforward descriptions for listeners who don’t know tech and explains all of blockchain’s most important aspects.

Unexpected political bend, not much tech.
Revisado: 06-28-19
Are you looking for a laymen's breakdown about how Blockchains work or creative ways programmers are actively building on them? You aren't going to find it here. Cluttered with anecdotes and unnecessary "artistic" adjectives about the authors personal life, which lead into pontificating on the virtues of egalitarianism, very little is actually said about the underlying technology. The book was almost entirely noise revolving around the political opinions of the author. Very little is spoken about the security, scarcity, and active development which makes the blockchain-space exciting. Instead of corresponding with the individuals and groups toiling on the projects themselves, he speaks about "Blockchain philosophers" (which seems like a completely made-up psuedo-intellectual credential) about the potential of blockchains empowering "matriarchy", just for an example. The author expressed distaste for the current (secular, non-partisan, STEM) culture surrounding crypto/blockchain and instead replaced his vision with a utopian socialist fantasy, leaving me to believe that the author isn't actually all to passionate about corresponding on the reality of the blockchain-sphere. I do not recommend!
