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.

評分 評分首先這本書不是講區塊鏈的具體技術細節,甚至對區塊鏈的技術都提的較少,更側重於描述區塊鏈的前景。書中包括兩部分內容,一是梅蘭妮·斯萬原書翻譯,另一部分是導讀。與翻譯稿相比導讀部分也很精彩,作者們都是深耕區塊鏈人士。 書裏麵概念較多,有些東西還沒有成型,例如區...

更多的是概念和未來方嚮的展望,但也不夠深入。有些篇章讀著跟學生paper似的;有些設想也還是太……可能很多年以後真的會實現吧,但現存的很多模式(特彆是政府管理方麵?)也不是那麼輕易會變更。但blockchain背後的新模式搞不好真的會引起巨變吧。
