Book excerpt: Bitcoin 2 in 1 Complete Guide The Complete Guide to investing with Bitcoin, The Complete Guide to Understanding Blockchain Technology Bitcoin was dropped off in complete anonymity by a figure who referred to himself as "Satoshi Nakamoto" this anonymous gift to the world has gone on to revolutionize the world of commerce like never before.

Cryptocurrency has been all the rage lately and in the race to create to create the best crypto-coin, Ethereum seems poised to take the lead. Ethereum reached the $400 mark in 2017, and has since continued to quickly rise even further in its value, seeming to indicate that Ethereum will soon overtake its much talked about predecessor, "Bitcoin". But it isn't just the monetary value of Ethereum that is making waves. It is also the technology behind Ethereum. Ethereum not only uses a highly proficient block chain, but for the first time ever, it allows for "smart contracts"-open source agreements written in computer code that can be changed at will. Many have likened Ethereum as a successor to Bitcoin but as you become further involved with it you quickly realize that it is a whole other animal completely.

Book excerpt: Murder for hire. Drug trafficking. Embezzlement. Money laundering. Market manipulation. Governments overthrown. These might sound like plot lines of a conspiracy thriller, but they are true stories from the short history of "cryptocurrencies". Originally conceived by computer hackers and cryptographers, these digital currencies, represent a completely new sort of financial transaction - one that doesn't need banks. Yet it's the technology that underpins these cryptocurrencies that has financiers, lawmakers and governments sitting up and taking notice. Hailed as the greatest advancement since the invention of the internet, the blockchain is moving away from being the backbone for a digital currency and making inroads into other core concepts of society: identity, ownership and even the rule of law. The End of Money is an essential introduction to cryptocurrencies and the blockchain revolution. On this journey you'll discover how this staggering new technology has the potential to enable an ultra-libertarian society beyond government control.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you confused by the blockchain? Do you know what it is and how it works? Do you want to know how it can change the world? Then, you’ve chosen the right book. Blockchain technology is not new. In fact, it was introduced in 2009 with the Bitcoin cryptocurrency, but since then, things have moved on at a significant pace. These days, many industries are developing their own blockchain-based solutions, looking to replace their existing database and record-keeping systems with one that works faster and is far more secure. In this book, you will learn: • What blockchain is • How blockchain works – a brief overview and a more technical look • The history of blockchain technology and Bitcoin • The advantages and disadvantages of blockchain technology • How blockchain works with the financial industry • How it works with other industries • What Ethereum is • How decentralized apps and smart contracts work • What the proof-of-work concept is and how it works • The current and future use cases for the blockchain • What Ripple and the R3 consortium are • And much more The blockchain has already changed the world in so many ways, and most of us aren’t even aware that the systems we’ve used every day have changed. Not every blockchain is decentralized; some still have a centralized intermediary. Not every blockchain is open-source. Banks, governments, and financial institutions are all maintaining control but in a more open, secure way that is far less open to fraud than previous financial transaction systems.
