This book takes you beyond the currency ("Blockchain 1.0") and smart contracts ("Blockchain 2.0") to demonstrate how the blockchain is in position to become the fifth disruptive computing paradigm after mainframes, PCs, the Internet, and mobile/social networking.
Author Melanie Swan, Founder of the Institute for Blockchain Studies, explains that the blockchain is essentially a public ledger with potential as a worldwide, decentralized record for the registration, inventory, and transfer of all assets—not just finances, but property and intangible assets such as votes, software, health data, and ideas.
Topics include:
* Concepts, features, and functionality of Bitcoin and the blockchain
* Using the blockchain for automated tracking of all digital endeavors
* Enabling censorship?resistant organizational models
* Creating a decentralized digital repository to verify identity
* Possibility of cheaper, more efficient services traditionally provided by nations
* Blockchain for science: making better use of the data-mining network
* Personal health record storage, including access to one’s own genomic data
* Open access academic publishing on the blockchain
This book is part of an ongoing O’Reilly series. Mastering Bitcoin: Unlocking Digital Crypto-Currencies introduces Bitcoin and describes the technology behind Bitcoin and the blockchain. Blockchain: Blueprint for a New Economy considers theoretical, philosophical, and societal impact of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies.

区块链这个词高级吗?高级。我在等我的星冰乐的时候经常听到穿西装打领带的商务精英们聊区块链,一个个群情激昂,仿佛金融界诸葛亮运筹帷幄于星巴克之中。那这个词看得懂吗?看不懂。当时我只关注我的星冰乐,排着队拿着爱的号码牌,一句话也没听进去,现在悔不当初。我发了一...
评分首先这本书不是讲区块链的具体技术细节,甚至对区块链的技术都提的较少,更侧重于描述区块链的前景。书中包括两部分内容,一是梅兰妮·斯万原书翻译,另一部分是导读。与翻译稿相比导读部分也很精彩,作者们都是深耕区块链人士。 书里面概念较多,有些东西还没有成型,例如区...

基本上是坐而论道
评分入门概念,理论框架有点意思了,未来主义多,还不够深入。或许还的等演变更确定了。
