Blockchain: Easiest Ultimate Guide To Understand Blockchain (Blockchain Programming, Smart Contracts, Fintech, Blockchain Revolution)

Just terrible. 31 pages of huge type and large blank spots on the pages. Written with no command of english, transitions, or context of any type. Print the Wiki page on the subject, and you have a far better "book" than this one. This "book" (I shudder to use that word) is bordering on an Amazon scam. Although it is not technically *wrong* (for the most part) it provides no insight, reasoning, or context... and it is what I would characterize as "misleading" in that it describes <1% of each topic it attempts to address. Therefore, I believe that any non-expert reader will be left with many fundamental misunderstandings after reading this vastly anemic work of hackery.Note that I am a Blockchain expert operating in the field, so I have some basis for understanding how to review books on the subject. Do not waste your time and money on this book.

I am pleased I purchased this book. I was attracted by a little strange word “blockchain”. As a result I know quite a bit of this relatively new technology. It is not very easy to understand, but I think our “digital” world forces us to do so. Very likely, blockchain will become one of the most important and common informational technology in the future. Now it is used in the main by Bitcoin cryptocurrency. But blockchain, as decentralized system of secure information storage, can be used widely by businesses and individuals. It works without interruption, all over the world. It is relatively anonymous. It is safe. All you need is internet connection. For businesses blockchain gives ability to build decentralized repository of valuable data with no risk of losing them. And there are a lot of other things where blockchain can be used. So, as I said before, it is very interesting and useful to be acquainted with it.

About 10 pages of meaningful text explained better in a Ted talk or any thirty second video. Should explain technical details.

Few pages, big concept made simple - worth the time investment

High-level ideas but no depth to why it's better to use blockchain than other databases. To much focus on bitcoin social values

Short summary of the high points for those who have already drank the bitcoin Kool aid. This is not a book about how bitcoin or blockchain work.

Only 31 pages. I dont know why it has almost 5 stars.

HiThis book provides a useful overview of bitcoin currency and the blockchain app.I don't actually know much about bitcoin, which is why I downloaded this book. If found this book to be useful and informative. The problem with bitcoin is that it's quite mysterious and not all that well know. However, it is getting bigger and may well be a required currency, within a few years time. I think the major criticism which I have heard about bitcoin is that it might crash and you loose all of your money, but people used to say that about pay pal!When I was reading this book papal kept coming back into my mind. Why is paypal so popular?... Because of trust .. people trust that they will be paid. Reading this book I came to know that blockchain is a very useful ledger which can track payments and even there is a supply chain app, which can help you verify where a product came from and whether it is legit or not. It is his sort of usual feature can help to boost bitcoin. Also bitcoin can be used in Countries where there is a currency problem or a problem with credit cards. Some countries, for example, are blacklisted by most online payment systems and bitcoin can help to bypass such problems.Personally I am hanging back on bitcoin, but after reading this book I can see that if bitcoin proves to be very helpful and new innovative features are added, that in time if enough trust develops that bitcoin as a currency and bloakchain as a app might become a dominant currency/money payment system.Presently the dollar is the default world currency.. but all currencies are subject to fluctuation.. could bitcoin be a currency which is more stable than other currencies including the dollar?...it will be interesting to find out,Anyway I enjoyed this informative book and definitely I found out a few new things in the process!

This is yet another quickly produced and unedited paper on the hot topic of Blockchains meant to capitalize on the trend. It talks a lot about the promise of Blockchains and Bitcoin without actually telling you any details. There is a lot of repetition and marketing style material. There are mentionings of use cases but no details. Spend the 20 - 30 minutes to read this and you'll come out with as many questions as you went in with. If you want details on what Blockchains really are, look elsewhere.

Not worth the price ..very very basic book..nothing substantial in content or giving better insight to tech or use case

I decided to read this book out of curiosity and I was pleasantly surprised with the good delivery of the content. – This book is basically a really guide that will show you everything you need to know about the Blockchain process for doing well in the financial markets. The blockchain concept was completely new to me, but once I went through the book, I felt I’d gained a good level of understanding. Great read and gives you all the information you need 4 stars

i bought this v short and low price kindle book, just hoping that it might be a guide to the technology of blockchain. Other than one short chaptet addressing the weaknesses of blockchain this guide is really more of a tasters guide to where the technology might be applied. If you are looking from a technical point of view either how the techology can work (it clearly has its own challenges), or if you want some sense of how a business architecture will work in applied pratice, then you wont find it here. There is much loose talk of the promise of blockchain but nothing to say whether it is technically compelling. I was none the wiser by the end. It cost v little and took only a short train ride to read, otherwise I would have marked lower. The style is good clean English, which made me suspect a journalist rather than a techologist was at work. A pity there aren't more writers who combine both abilities. The title might better have been a Guide to when b'chain might be useful. That's the 'where' part. I now have to spend some time and cash looking for the 'how'.
