If you think that blockchain is everything you don’t understand about technology, finance, and law mixed together, then this book will help you appreciate its value more clearly. While it is a complex technology that is still largely experimental today, it will be transformative in the future.
This book focuses on the values of blockchain across industries. Among other things, it explores how blockchain technology adds value to data management, security, and sharing as well as ownership, property, collaboration, and trust. It also explores the possibilities of the Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS), digital goods or dGoods, and the transformative power of small acts and micropayments.
