Blockchain revolution : how the technology behind Bitcoin is changing money, business and the world
Tapscott, Don2016
Books, Manuscripts
Blockchain is the ingeniously simple technology that powers Bitcoin. But it is much more that that, too. It is a public ledger to which everyone has access, but which no single person controls. It allows for companies and individuals to collaborate with an unprecedented degree of trust and transparency. It is cryptographically secure, but fundamentally open. And soon it will be everywhere. In this book the authors reveal how this game-changing technology will shape the future of the world economy, dramatically improving everything from healthcare records to online voting, and from insurance claims to artist royalty payments. An essential text of the next major paradigm shift.
