Cryptocurrencies are changing the world. They grant everyday people the power to invest, disrupt the world order and contribute towards a better future.

Blockchain is the ingeniously simple technology that powers cryptos. It is a public ledger to which everyone has access, but which no single person or institution controls. It allows for companies and individuals to collaborate with an unprecedented degree of trust and transparency. It is cryptographically secure, but fundamentally open. And it is everywhere.

In Blockchain Revolution, Don and Alex Tapscott reveal:

· how this game-changing technology is re-shaping the global economy
· how it is improving everything from healthcare records to online voting
· how people everywhere are using it to side-step institutional barriers and take control of their future

Brilliantly researched and highly accessible, this is the essential text on this major paradigm shift. Read it, or be left behind.

Ratings and reviews

www (world wide web) is fading away soon with the advent of a second generation internet of WWL (world wide ledger) who's backbone is the BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY. The power at last is being decentralized from the hands few powerful people in our world to be placed in the hands of the people... let's get ready for this change.

Alexander Wayne does not use this book as he has to.... his scamming people instead of making money for them using a luno app and he has a certificate for expert options but his working for Bithub... Mr Trapscott what do you say about these people?

Great preliminary thesis on what impact the block chain can have across the board. Written by folks who are genuinely at the leading and passionate edge of the revolution. Some parts are biographical of the lead characters, but that's a minor aberration.
