Bitcoin is starting to come into its own as a digital currency, but the blockchain technology behind it could prove to be much more significant. 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.

这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
2017-2018年无论是在技术、投资、创新、金融等行业,出现的最火热名词就是比特币、区块链这、等词了。也正是这样很多投资人都预感到了风口将近,都想做一些赛道提前布局,但是都不想盲目交学费,投资者们都是在看,感觉是项目太少,估值太高,关键还是看不懂!现在无论是什么什... (展开)区块链,未来的信用社会发展方向
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
这本书主要是分两个走向,侧重写了区块链前景的展望,一部分书中除了作者梅兰妮*斯万原书的翻译,另一部分还增加了一些导读部分(由国内区块链先驱者带来的解读和个人经验看法),案例丰富全面,讲解详细又不失理论高度,如果你对区块链、互联网金融感兴趣,这样一部入门级,对... (展开)带你进入区块链的世界

完全浪费时间,写了半天就是,区块链大法好,未来我们可以活在区块链上,具体怎么操作勒?底层算法的效率和安全性在哪里勒?完全不解释,通篇一句话就嫩概括了:区块链大法好。看完这个书不觉得区块链100%是骗子的智商绝对不超过40

更多的是概念和未来方向的展望,但也不够深入。有些篇章读着跟学生paper似的;有些设想也还是太……可能很多年以后真的会实现吧,但现存的很多模式(特别是政府管理方面?)也不是那么轻易会变更。但blockchain背后的新模式搞不好真的会引起巨变吧。

读下来并没有想象中的那么好,安全性的说明还不如直接去读hac,不过内容略有广度,适合入门扫盲

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。

Beggined with grand expectations but ended with disappointment. To much difficult terminology (for instance, Turing-complete virtual machine, what's that??) with no definition or even a simple explanation, it may create barrier for those people who don't have appropriate background, it's a pity.
