While Bitcoin was the headliner of the white paper, it was not the technology that enabled the peer-to-peer, electronic, cash system to work. That technology was called Blockchain. Ironically, the word blockchain was never mentioned in the white paper but was described in detail. So, in early 2009, Bitcoin was released as a public domain piece of software. Among other capabilities, Blockchain enables trust on the Internet between parties who are anonymous. One day, Blockchain will be so mainstream that its skeleton will disappear in the same way that electrical wires are part of every wall, but no one notices anymore. But, before then, you should learn what Blockchain is and how it works. Paul Tatro’s groundbreaking new book, Blockchain Unchained: The Illustrated Guide to Understanding Blockchain, will help you do exactly that. -- amazon.com
