About this listen

Instead of talking about investing, this audiobook will focus on how blockchain technology works and how it might be used in the future. Topics you can expect to see in this book include:

  • What problem does blockchain solve?
  • How can technology make our institutions faster and less expensive?
  • Could technology replace our institutions (like governments, banks, etc.) altogether?
  • How does blockchain build trust between strangers?
  • How does blockchain increase security for transactions and contracts?
  • Can blockchain be used outside of finance?
  • What is a block?
  • What is the chain and why do we need it?
  • What’s a technical explanation of what happens in the blockchain?
  • What is mining and why do we need it?
  • Are there alternatives to mining to create a blockchain?
  • What’s the story of Bitcoin?
  • Does Bitcoin have any problems?
  • What is Ethereum, and what is a smart contract?
  • Are there other blockchain technologies I should know about?
  • How are companies adopting blockchain?
  • What regulatory hurdles might slow blockchain adoption?

Whew, that’s a lot of questions. If you’re ready to tackle them, I’m ready.

Informative

Thanks Alan! This book was an unintimidating tech read on a topic that many would be well-informed to read (hear). In fact, it was so well written that it came across more as a societal information piece than a technology publication. Even the "liberty to skip" techno section was quite tolerable!

Look No Further - This IS The Best Explanation

I had a sense of the term block-chain but didn't fully appreciate it's complexities until the conclusion of this (short) book. When I say this is THE best explanation it is because I tried several (did you know you can try and return titles to Audible?) but none of them are even close to this book. Now I'm completely comfortable with the tech, the definitions, what proof of work means, and so much more. All makes sense and, yes, I see how block-chain can potential impact every element of modern society in a positive way. Worth your time.

I would love updated version for 2021. Provided information is great, but lot of it is outdated already. As this technology is advancing very quickly.

Beats me

I am an older man retired from a career in electronic design (not software) and this book may be good for those able to grasp and retain it but for myself I am completely baffled and must start over somewhere else.

Short, sweet, and insightful

This book is very short, but don't let that dissuade you from listening. This book covers all the necessities in getting into the blockchain space. I thought it was great.
