About this listen

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, understanding the basics of blockchain technology has become increasingly important. While it may seem like a complex concept reserved for experts and coders, the truth is that anyone can contribute to shaping the future uses of blockchain. By grasping the fundamental principles and potential applications of blockchain, individuals from diverse backgrounds can actively participate in discussions, decision-making, and innovation surrounding this transformative technology. Whether you're a business professional, a policymaker, a creative thinker, or simply an individual passionate about technology, acquiring a foundational understanding of blockchain empowers you to contribute to its evolution and unlock the countless possibilities it holds.

New technologies are emerging that are changing the way we interact with information and each other. The blockchain is a decentralized ledger system that enables secure, transparent, and tamper-proof transactions without the need for intermediaries. It has the potential to revolutionize numerous industries, from finance to healthcare to supply chain management.

This book serves as a comprehensive guide to the blockchain, explaining its key components and mechanics, current use cases, and future potential. Starting with an introduction to what the blockchain is and its brief history, the book explores each component of the blockchain in detail, including nodes, transactions, blocks, consensus mechanisms, cryptographic hash functions, public and private keys, smart contracts, and network protocol.

The book also highlights some current use cases for the blockchain, such as cryptocurrencies and digital assets, supply chain management, identity verification, healthcare, and real estate. It then explores the future potential of the blockchain in areas such as decentralized finance, internet of things, voting and governance, gaming and virtual reality, and renewable energy.

Finally, the book concludes with a summary of the blockchain's key components and mechanics, the potential impact of the blockchain on society and the economy, and the future of the blockchain and its potential applications.

Whether you are a blockchain novice or a seasoned professional, this book provides a comprehensive and insightful guide to one of the most exciting technologies of our time.

Simple and easy to follow

The blockchain is not one of the easiest topics to discuss because it is so new and so out of what we are used to. I loved how this book broke it down so that you can understand to a good enough level what entails the decentralized database that's the blockchain. I loved every part of it. It's educative without being overwhelming.

Blockchain isn't JUST cryptocurrency

As someone who has been involved in crypto and defi since 2019, I have read a few books and watched hundreds of hours of videos regarding crypto. In the few books I have read, I was only given an elementary level of education in regards to the practical applications and mechanics of how the blockchain actually works.

This book takes a deeper dive into the core of blockchain technology without getting too technical. Even though I have been a part of the financial aspects of blockchain for the past 4+ years, I learned new things about how blockchain works, such as Byzantine Fault Tolerance. I also learned about exactly how the blockchain forms a "chain" through the reference of Cryptographic Hash functions that makes it almost impossible to tamper with.

Besides speaking about cryptocurrency, it also gives examples of how blockchain technology can be applied in supply chain records/processes and identification (among others).

The only negative I have to say about this audiobook is that there are some parts that are clearly cut off due to errors (you can hear the clicker used to signify a break when going back to edit). Breaths are inconsistent where in some chapters they aren't noticeable and some they are very noticeable.

Overall this is a great audiobook for those looking to learn more about the blockchain outside of just cryptocurrency.

Breaks Difficult Concepts Down

The Blockchain blueprint breaks down and explains the decentralized ledger system in layman's terms. It also explains how it is involved in technology, cryptocurrencies, and many other sectors. I was surprised by the influence on supply chain management, identity verification, and health care. The fact that it's not lengthy audio helps to absorb complex concepts for some in a shortened version.

very comprehensive guide

This book is a very comprehensive introduction to blockchain. If you just getting started to learn about blockchain, you might feel it's late, or you are worried of being left out on this possibly the biggest gold rush of the century. I have to admit, I do feel somewhat of that. Especially given the news about bitcoin and the halfing of it, and the sudden raise of the value. I don't know, I might got a bit of fomo - fear of missing out. So I was trying to find some information about blockchain. But the problem is, many blockchain beginner level books are from a few years back, when the topic of blockchain, NFT, bitcoin was like a new kid on the block. However given this few years gone by, many things changed in the industry. How beginner starts to learn about these topics are different from a few years back. And this book brought me some fresh knowledge, with the new trends in it. It's never too late to start. Especially if you also believe it like I do that this is possibly the biggest opporutnity of the century.

Fascinating Well Explained Review of Blockchain

While I have been very interested in Crypto and have been an avid investor in the stock market, I never fully understood what Blockchain technology was or how it worked. The author does a really good job at explaining to us what it is , as well as explaining other uses and applications for this technology. This is the first book I have listened to that successfully does that. Kudos to Deedee Ash.
