对这本书很失望。 市场上大概能找到的唯一的一本中文区块链的书。 看完了之后,很难有一个系统化的理解。 区块链是什么?大家都大概知道。但现在大家都不知道的是区块链怎么用。 作者觉得区块链应用在很多领域带来颠覆性的作用,但其实这本书并没有讲清楚,为什么能比现在...

Bitcoin is starting to come into its own as a digital currency, but the blockchain technology behind it could prove to be much more significant. This book takes you beyond the currency ("Blockchain 1.0") and smart contracts ("Blockchain 2.0") to demonstrate how the blockchain is in position to become the fifth disruptive computing paradigm after mainframes, PCs, the Internet, and mobile/social networking.
Author Melanie Swan, Founder of the Institute for Blockchain Studies, explains that the blockchain is essentially a public ledger with potential as a worldwide, decentralized record for the registration, inventory, and transfer of all assets—not just finances, but property and intangible assets such as votes, software, health data, and ideas.
Topics include:
* Concepts, features, and functionality of Bitcoin and the blockchain
* Using the blockchain for automated tracking of all digital endeavors
* Enabling censorship?resistant organizational models
* Creating a decentralized digital repository to verify identity
* Possibility of cheaper, more efficient services traditionally provided by nations
* Blockchain for science: making better use of the data-mining network
* Personal health record storage, including access to one’s own genomic data
* Open access academic publishing on the blockchain
This book is part of an ongoing O’Reilly series. Mastering Bitcoin: Unlocking Digital Crypto-Currencies introduces Bitcoin and describes the technology behind Bitcoin and the blockchain. Blockchain: Blueprint for a New Economy considers theoretical, philosophical, and societal impact of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies.
入门概念,理论框架有点意思了,未来主义多,还不够深入。或许还的等演变更确定了。
评分被称为Blockchain的一半必读书,也是我较为深入一点去了解Blockchain的一次。里面提到很多已经在进行这个去中央模式所产生的不同的落地应用,除了Bitcoin外,已经有不少已经认可真实用例。很久没有看过一本有关新技术介绍的书会给人这么近同时影响会产生极巨大影响的感觉,上次已经是90年代初接触互联网的时候,那种兴奋及未来不可预测的改变的沉重感,去中心化的体系,未来一旦成为广泛事实,改变的已经不是其他新技术带来体验、速度、商业模式革命、资源或信息交换的更新这个层次的变革,而是社会组织方式的革命,政府、企业、甚至是人与人基本交互的改变,这种改变等于今天互联网带给我们的日子对比与PC时代,感觉是预示很快一个新的时代快要降临。
评分filled with grand but hollow language
评分读下来并没有想象中的那么好,安全性的说明还不如直接去读hac,不过内容略有广度,适合入门扫盲
