FinTech developers and managers understand that the blockchain has the potential to disrupt the financial world. The blockchain allows the participants of a distributed system to agree on a common view of the system, to track changes in the system, in a reliable way. In the distributed systems community, agreement techniques have been known long before cryptocurrencies such as ...(展开全部)

In Life after Google, George Gilder—the peerless visionary of technology and culture—explains why Silicon Valley is suffering a nervous breakdown and what to expect as the post-Google age dawns. Google’s astonishing ability to “search and sort” attracts the entire ...(展开全部)

乔治·吉尔德是一位颇具远见卓识的智者，在技术和文化领域具有无与伦比的视野和见地。20世纪80年代，他是供应学派经济学的代表人物。其倡导“减税增加财政收入”的著作《财富与贫穷》狂销100万册。被称为“里根改革圣经”， 对中国也产生了极大的影响。 90年代，他成为互联网和新经济的倡导者。他在《通信革命》中阐述了从每一台个人电脑“微观宇宙”到由无数个人电脑互联互通所编织成的“遥观宇宙”的思想，不仅催生了今日谷歌、百度、脸书等几大中心互联网巨头，更完成了吉尔德作为未来学家的整体体系建构。 在其新作《后谷歌时代》中，他观点鲜明地指出今日的中心化互联网必将被以区块链为代表的去中心化的互联网所迭代。未来世界将与你想象的不同。

Blockchain technology is a combination of three popular concepts: cryptography, peer-to-peer networking, and game theory. This book is for anyone who wants to dive into blockchain from first principles and learn how decentralized applications and cryptocurrencies really work.This book begins with an overview of blockchain technology, including key definitions, its purposes and characteristics, so you can assess the full potential of blockchain. All essential aspects of cryptography are then presented, as the backbone of blockchain. For readers who want to study the underlying algorithms of blockchain, you’ll see Python implementations throughout.You’ll then learn how blockchain architecture can create decentralized applications. You’ll see how blockchain achieves decentralization through peer-to-peer networking, and how a simple blockchain can be built in a P2P network. You’ll learn how these elements can implement a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin, and the wider applications of blockchain work through smart contracts. Blockchain optimization techniques, and blockchain security strategies are then presented. To complete this foundation, we consider blockchain applications in the financial and non-financial sectors, and also analyze the future of blockchain. A study of blockchain use cases includes supply chains, payment systems, crowdfunding, and DAOs, which rounds out your foundation in blockchain technology.
