Cryptocurrencies and the Blockchain Revolution by Brendan January
Cryptocurrency and blockchain are terms that we hear fairly often but that most of us don't really understand. Personally, I had only a vague notion of how a cryptocurrency works. Thus, my reading of this book. This is a fairly technical read, so some understanding of computers and of programming helps, especially as there is only limited explanation of technical terms. If you can wade through that language, this is a fairly comprehensive explanation of the concepts. We learn about how cryptocurrency and blockchain intersect but also as separate entities. Most notably, there is a significant exploration of other uses of blockchain. I learned a lot from a quick read through and feel like I would glean even more from a second, more focused read. A solid addition to a tech-focused collection
