Blockchain technology opens the Internet in powerful new ways.
Recommendation
In this accessible guide, blockchain experts Don Tapscott and Alex Tapscott explain the promise behind this emerging technology. They see blockchain as a potential world-changer, although their exuberance can feel a bit farfetched. Their report shines best when it shows how the new platform affects real people – for instance, when they document an immigrant’s expensive experience sending money overseas, and contrast that process with the graft-free ease of using a blockchain alternative. The authors cheerlead for the blockchain while acknowledging its possible pitfalls, including potential threats to privacy. getAbstract recommends this lively overview to investors and policy makers seeking to learn more about a cutting-edge technology.
