Blockchain is a revolutionary computer programming technology that was first proposed in 2008 with Satoshi Nakamoto’s white paper on Bitcoin. However, its roots go far deeper, as Nakamoto’s white paper actually built on advances and ideas in cryptography and cybersecurity that date all the way back to the early 1990s. Today, blockchain is turning into an Internet phenomenon that is changing how we think of cybersecurity and how data can be safely managed and maintained.
Whether you are interested in what the Blockchain is, how it works or how to make money with the Blockchain, all the answers you are looking for can be found in this guide.

Book 3:
- You will find information on the different types of blockchains, their uses, and some of the controversy surrounding them. You will learn how to build your own blockchain.
- The next chapter will guide you through some of the innovative ways that major companies, like Microsoft, Deloitte, and Tesla, are using blockchain to create new products, enhance security, and better meet their clients’ needs. You will also learn how some governments, notably Japan and Russia, are using blockchain to provide higher levels of transparency and improved government practices.
- The following chapter will guide you through some popular blockchain platforms that you can use to build your own programs. These include Lisk, Blockstack, Ethereum, and Azure. You will even learn how to use Lisk and Blockstack with step-by-step guides that will take you through the process.
- The final chapter will look at some of the future potential for blockchain. This includes deep learning, a field of artificial intelligence in which machines are embedded with complex neural networks that enable them to learn new information without a human programming it into them. It also includes means of government participation, like voting and campaign finance. It looks at Iota, a new blockchain-like technology that utilizes something called Tangle to achieve higher levels of scalability and microtransactions across the growing Internet of Things. It also looks at how blockchain can be used to track the sales of weapons, aid in refugee resettlement, reduce the corruption associated with foreign aid, and spread information more democratically.
By the time you finish this book, you will find yourself positioned on the cutting edge of blockchain technology. You will not only understand how it works but be equipped to implement it in such a way that you are riding on the wave of tomorrow.
