Download or read book Let s Meet Blockchain written by Sylvain Metz and published by Business Expert Press. This book was released on 2023-12-26 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A quiet revolution is taking place within the computer ecosystem; one that will change the way we do business on the internet. It’s called blockchain, and it promises to disrupt the way people interact with one another online, whether its messaging, banking, keeping up with medical records, land records, booking a vacation, socializing, or voting. Programs are also being developed to use blockchain to serve as one’s identity “papers.” Blockchain technology is based on the idea that all online transactions should be between two people without the need for public or private third-party oversight. Blockchain technology developers believe thoughts and ideas should be shared, not quashed. It’s a world where web platforms are governed by their members, not a board of directors; privacy comes first, and one’s personal information is kept private, not for third parties to take and sell as they, please. Blockchain technology offers everyone opportunities to take part. Anyone can participate in the fast-growing world using non-fungible tokens (NFTs), where works of art, music, literature, and poetry can be tokenized and sold or traded on a blockchain. These components comprise the next generation of the world wide web, which is referred to as Web 3.0. Billions of dollars are being spent to create infrastructure to create a viable framework to mainstream blockchain. This book offers a peek into this new world with examples of how this technology is being used today as well as the hurdles, including legal challenges, it must overcome to be viable. So, if you’re ready, let’s meet blockchain.

In Processing Creativity: How To Write Songs People Love he chronicles the lessons learned working on all those records and writing about music's most progressive ideas, taking on the subject he knows the most about; helping musicians fulfill their creative vision. The book is the culmination of four years of poring over scientific studies, books, and thoughts from top creators as well as his own experience to write a book every musician should listen to about what goes into making great music versus what bands do when they make the innumerable bad songs we hear each day. Covering the pitfalls of creating music, the book thoroughly explores the hidden reasons we actually like music, how to get along with our collaborators, and patterns that help creativity flourish. While every musician says that being creative is the most important part of their life, they barely explore what's holding them back from making music they are happy with.

The essential ideas on creating music are detailed in a simple, fun language that’s littered with quotes and insight from the most innovative creators of our time including: • How to make highly emotional music that compels listeners to listen again and again. • Effectively dealing with collaborative problems like “too many chefs in the kitchen,” giving helpful criticism or dealing with stubborn collaborators. • Finding inspiration when you have writer's block. • How to draft your songs while avoiding the common pitfalls of losing perspective and giving up. • Examining the unexpected reasons we enjoy music. • Calming your thoughts so they don’t sabotage your music and other helpful tools to help execute your music as best as possible.

Download or read book Quick Guide for Creating Selling and Buying Non Fungible Tokens NFTs written by Dr. Hidaia Mahmood Alassouli and published by Dr. Hidaia Mahmood Alassouli. This book was released on 2022-01-30 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NFT (non-fungible “non-interchangeable”) token simply represents ownership of an asset. Before choosing an NFT marketplace, you'll first want to decide the kind of digital asset you're interested in buying, selling, or creating. Just about anything digital -- the written word, videos, video games, art, collectors’ items, etc. -- can be tokenized on a blockchain. Another consideration is the type of tokens supported on a marketplace. NFT marketplaces are your path to start investing in digital assets, collectibles, and art, but there are lots of options out there. Be sure to choose one that suits your buying and storage needs based on the type of NFT you're after and the crypto you're interested in using for transactions. This is a new industry and is highly speculative. The value of digital art and collectibles works much the same as physical art and collectibles: Value is subjective and determined by factors such as uniqueness and the reputation of the artist who made it. I know what you're thinking, why would anyone pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for a photo or video when they can only upload it? But it's just like real art, the copy of the photo is not the original! NFT is different because you get ownership of that piece of art when you buy it, otherwise you might be violating some copyright laws. Opensea.io is the most common online marketplace for non-fungible tokens. The report includes the following parts: 1.What is NFT?? 2. Can’t just upload the digital assets instead of buying them on NFT??? 3. Some NFT marketplaces. 4. Using Opensea.io to sell and buy NFT assets. 5. Creating and minting NFT assets in OpenSea.io. 6. How to create and sell NFT on Binance NFT Marketplace. 7. How to create and sell NFT on Gate.io NFT Marketplace. 8. How to create and sell NFT on FTX.US NFT Marketplace. 9. Example on selling NFT assets on OpeanSea.io. 10. References.
