Blockchain technology can be very intimidating when encountered for the first time. But in reality, the technology itself is just a combination of three popular concepts: cryptography, peer-to-peer networking, and game theory. Although these may seem complicated at first glance, a basic understanding of these three required concepts will help you to build a strong foundation that once you've completed, can be used as a cornerstone for understanding blockchain technology at an advanced level.
This book helps you to understand the concepts of blockchain technology, and introduces you to both cryptocurrency, as well as several blockchain platforms. It also gives an in-depth analysis of the potential and concerns of the technology so that blockchain can be adopted where its implementation actually adds value.
