This book was released on 2022-04-16T22:59:00Z with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 On Halloween 2008, a computer scientist named Satoshi Nakamoto published a whitepaper introducing Bitcoin, a digital currency that allows people to exchange money without going through a bank or credit card processor. #2 Money has traditionally been held in two forms: physical items like cash or gold pieces, or having a trusted institution like a bank or chieftain track how much money you have. The shortcomings of these forms of money are clear: it's easy to steal, it can't be used for online or long-distance transactions, it can be counterfeited, and it's a pain to store and transport. #3 Humanity has always used money to solve the problems of tangibility. Money was invented by a trusted institution, such as a bank or local chief, to mediate between humans and their tangible money. However, this form of money has several shortcomings that stem from the fact that there is a middleman. #4 What we really need in money is intangibility. M3 gives you intangibility by introducing middlemen: if you trust institutions to manage and move your money for you, you don’t have to hold tangible money anymore. But middlemen come with their own bundle of drawbacks.

Download or read book Blockchain Revolution written by Don Tapscott and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-05-10 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blockchain technology is powering our future. As the technology behind cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and Facebook's Libra, open software platforms like Ethereum, and disruptive companies like Ripple, it’s too important to ignore. In this revelatory book, Don Tapscott, the bestselling author of Wikinomics, and his son, blockchain expert Alex Tapscott, bring us a brilliantly researched, highly readable, and essential book about the technology driving the future of the economy. Blockchain is the ingeniously simple, revolutionary protocol that allows transactions to be simultaneously anonymous and secure by maintaining a tamperproof public ledger of value. Though it’s best known as the technology that drives bitcoin and other digital currencies, it also has the potential to go far beyond currency, to record virtually everything of value to humankind, from birth and death certificates to insurance claims, land titles, and even votes. Blockchain is also essential to understand if you’re an artist who wants to make a living off your art, a consumer who wants to know where that hamburger meat really came from, an immigrant who’s tired of paying big fees to send money home to your loved ones, or an entrepreneur looking for a new platform to build a business. And those examples are barely the tip of the iceberg. As with major paradigm shifts that preceded it, blockchain technology will create winners and losers. This book shines a light on where it can lead us in the next decade and beyond.
Download or read book The End of Money written by New Scientist and published by Nicholas Brealey. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The End of Money is an essential introduction to cryptocurrencies and the blockchain revolution. On this journey you'll discover how this staggering new technology has the potential to enable an ultra-libertarian society beyond government control. Murder for hire. Drug trafficking. Embezzlement. Money laundering. These might sound like plot lines of a thriller, but they are true stories from the short history of cryptocurrencies - digital currencies conceived by computer hackers and cryptographers that represent a completely new sort of financial transaction that could soon become mainstream. The most famous - or infamous - cryptocurrency is bitcoin. But look beyond its tarnished reputation and something much shinier emerges. The technology that underlies bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies - the blockchain - is hailed as the greatest advancement since the invention of the internet. It is now moving away from being the backbone for a digital currency and making inroads into other core concepts of society: identity, ownership and even the rule of law. The End of Money is your essential introduction to this transformative new technology that has governments, entrepreneurs and forward-thinking people from all walks of life sitting up and taking notice.
