After 14 years of development, Blockchain Technology and Cryptocurrencies have penetrated deeply into everyday discussions among geeks. While the pandemic has brought masses, especially the Indian middle class youth, to take interest in this technology, their level of understanding remains shallow. What You Might be Missing… The buzzing question of the hour is whether to build a career/invest in crypto or not. Few recognize the need for faith in the concept to stay invested in such technologies, which can develop only from an understanding of the functioning and applications of cryptos. In Tech-onomics of Cryptocurrencies, Riya and Satyam, two high school students, fill this gap, breaking down the concept of cryptocurrencies for the masses in a simple and lucid language. They outline what blockchain is, break it down as a public ledger and the way it is networked. They explore Bitcoin and Ethereum, the differences between them in terms of proof of work and proof of stake, and the developments being made to address the grey areas. Delving into the economic dimension, they simplify the way cryptos might affect our lives, the economy, businesses and impact industries. This book is a simple yet wholesome explanation of the technology and the industry, which helps learners from all parts of the society to know, and leverage this knowledge to build a career in a concept which possibly defines our future. In this fast paced world, we can all now understand Cryptocurrencies, widening our future prospects in life. "The book presents a fearful and complex digital world of cryptos in a very simplified yet an erudite manner. The setting of the narrative with Emma and her friends developing a block chain is perfect ground for a reader to get absorbed and understand the dynamics that play in transacting cryptocurrencies. “Cryptocurrencies’ is a must read for all. Block chain mechanisms are here to stay and to construct our future transactional methodologies. Traders in crypto will do well to know how their transactions actually travel than being restricted to a mere buy and sell mode.

Download or read book Bitcoin and Beyond written by Malcolm Campbell-Verduyn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the launch of Bitcoin in 2009 several hundred different ‘cryptocurrencies’ have been developed and become accepted for a wide variety of transactions in leading online commercial marketplaces and the ‘sharing economy’, as well as by more traditional retailers, manufacturers, and even by charities and political parties. Bitcoin and its competitors have also garnered attention for their wildly fluctuating values as well as implication in international money laundering, Ponzi schemes and online trade in illicit goods and services across borders. These and other controversies surrounding cryptocurrencies have induced varying governance responses by central banks, government ministries, international organizations, and industry regulators worldwide. Besides formal attempts to ban Bitcoin, there have been multifaceted efforts to incorporate elements of blockchains, the peer-to-peer technology underlying cryptocurrencies, in the wider exchange, recording, and broadcasting of digital transactions. Blockchains are being mobilized to support and extend an array of governance activities. The novelty and breadth of growing blockchain-based activities have fuelled both utopian promises and dystopian fears regarding applications of the emergent technology to Bitcoin and beyond. This volume brings scholars of anthropology, economics, Science and Technology Studies, and sociology together with GPE scholars in assessing the actual implications posed by Bitcoin and blockchains for contemporary global governance. Its interdisciplinary contributions provide academics, policymakers, industry practitioners and the general public with more nuanced understandings of technological change in the changing character of governance within and across the borders of nation-states.

Download or read book Crypto Millionaires written by Mateusz Mach and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-07-19 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blockchain, the key to the world of cryptocurrencies—a phrase that sounds like a promise of wealth. But what exactly is Blockchain? Unfortunately, in most books, articles, and discussions, it is either explained in a way that’s hard to understand or oversimplified with unnecessary emotional baggage, presented either technically or ideologically. Some see Blockchain as a savior from greedy bankers, while others view it as a tool for building cryptocurrencies that undermine central banks. Which image is closer to reality? The story of Blockchain is not just a tale of mathematical experiments. It’s primarily a story of the age-old attempt to record human activities and the value that flows from them. This time, however, the goal is to make it accessible to everyone on equal terms. This book delves into the evolution and technical intricacies of Blockchain technology, steering clear of the common focus on mere cryptocurrency speculation. It clarifies complex concepts and underscores Blockchain’s capacity to revolutionize industries and empower individuals globally, thereby demystifying the technology and making its profound potential accessible to everyone.
Download or read book Cryptocurrency and Public Policy written by Donavon Johnson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-04 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proponents of cryptocurrency have argued it has the potential to drive economic prosperity and to help reimagine social benefits in many spaces across the world. However, as the knowledge and use of cryptocurrency increases, so do questions about trust, identity, privacy, and security. This new book connects the literature on public policy and cryptocurrency, asking: What are the governance and democracy implications of the rise in cryptocurrency use? Beginning with a conceptual overview of cryptocurrency and how governmental actions (or inaction) led to its creation, author Donovan Johnson argues that symbiotic relationships can and do exist among cryptocurrency, democracy, and governance in the public policy/administration domain. Principles such as equity and inclusion, efficiency and effectiveness, accountability, and quality of life are explored as conduits through which cryptocurrency interfaces with public policy, democracy, and good governance. This informative and insightful book covers a range of public policy and public administration issues, offering readers an understanding of how cryptocurrency intersects with democracy, governance, fiscal and monetary policies, economic growth, corruption, and privacy. Cryptocurrency and Public Policy will be of interest to students and scholars of public policy and administration, finance, economics, and business.

Download or read book Cryptocurrencies and the Regulatory Challenge written by Allan C. Hutchinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-10 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a social process that places great stock in its stability and predictability, law does not deal easily or well with change. In a modern world that is in a constant and rapid state of flux, law is being placed under considerable stress in its efforts to fulfill its task as a primary regulator of social and economic behaviour. This challenge is particularly acute in the realm of technology and its profound ramifications for social and economic behaviour. The innovative Techno-Age not only offers fresh ways of handling old problems, but also throws up entirely new problems; traditional ways of thinking about and responding to these old and new problems and their optimal resolution are no longer as tenable as many once thought. One such example is the burgeoning world of cryptocurrencies – this peer-to-peer digital network presents a profound challenge to the status quo of the financial services sector, to the established modes of state-backed fiat currency, and to the regulatory authority and reach of law. Taken together, these related challenges demand the urgent attention of jurists, lawyers and law reformers. It is the future and relevance of legal regulation as much as cryptocurrency that is at stake. This book proposes an approach to regulating cryptocurrency that recognises and retains its innovative and transformative potential, but also identifies and deals with some of its less appealing qualities and implications.

Download or read book CRYPTO CURRENCIES AND BLOCKCHAIN THE FUTURE OF MONEY written by Jayashree Patil-Dake and published by Xoffencerpublication. This book was released on 2023-07-17 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The curiosity and imagination of investors, researchers, politicians, and members of the general public alike have been captured by cryptocurrencies and the Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), which they are founded on. Cryptocurrencies were hailed as the "currency of the future" by the technology industry, and their proponents extolled the potential benefits of using them. These potential benefits included a payment system that was risk-free and entirely decentralized, a financial sector that was more streamlined and more reliable, and an economy that was more cooperative, open, and democratic. The reality has been more complicated than anticipated, and it is characterized by a significant degree of volatility in the price of well-known cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, an uncomfortably high degree of opacity and centralization, and inefficient implementations, particularly with regard to the quantity of energy that is used. The allure of India as a potential answer to time-honored economic issues, with its cutting-edge advancements in computer science and cryptography, is, however, too powerful to ignore. Therefore, in spite of the obvious difficulties that jindiat brought up, people are still coming up with new applications for distributed ledger technology. Through the utilization of non-fungible tokens, one of these applications has the potential to bring about a sea change in the manner in which works of art and other types of intellectual property are exchanged. It should come as no surprise that the range of applications for cryptocurrencies, blockchains, and DLT, in addition to the requisite technical background to comprehend them, are outside the scope of what can be covered in a single article. To those people who are interested in knowing more about this intriguing region, we certainly suggest this as a location to begin their exploration of the topic. The applications of distributed ledger technology that are directly connected to finance will be the primary topic of discussion throughout this chapter. To be more exact, we take into consideration cryptocurrencies that may be thought of as pure assets or commodities like Bitcoin, as well as the more recent class of cryptocurrencies known as stable coins that are used in central bank digital currencies (CBDC).
