Four Stars!!!!

When it comes to the cost of all of the additional computer resources as well as the electricity that these resources consume, the cost is enough to be probative in numerous scenarios. The estimated costs of each confirmed bitcoin transaction is said to be at roughly what it would cost to run the average household for 36 hours.
Highly recommended!!!
Just grab this book guys it is really awesome and i loved it

Essential Guide!!!

Would you listen to Blockchain: The Essential Guide to Understanding and Using Blockchain Technology for Beginners again? Why?

Yes i loved this book..The estimated costs of each confirmed bitcoin transaction is said to be at roughly what it would cost to run the average household for 36 hours.

What did you like best about this story?

The distributed nature of a blockchain is what makes them so useful when preventing fraud, it also makes them extremely inefficient. When it comes to the cost of all of the additional computer resources as well as the electricity that these resources consume, the cost is enough to be probative in numerous scenarios.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES.

Any additional comments?

This is not something that is likely to decrease either, as the distributed nature of the process is one of its most lauded features.
will suggest this book!!!
