Blockchain Hardcover – December 28, 2016

You can easily figure out that the author "Jeff Reed" doesn't have any in depth knowledge of either blockchain or cryptocurrencies on which the technology is based. What could have been accomplished in a 10 page has been stretched to several hundred pages with lots of repetition.After I read a bit further, and researched internet, I found that book is not really a book! It is just a collection of internet articles ghost written and reworded by someone who doesn't even have a good command on English.Why should you not buy this book?1) All the information mentioned in the book is available for free on internet.2) It's more of a fantasy book that a technology bookWhy should you buy this book?1) You don't want to spend a lot of time researching the internet2) You only want a high level view of Blockchain.3) You can't put your money to a better use!

This... this "book"... is a broken English, stream of consciousness, mess of an idea that was very easy to put down a portion of the way in. A previous reviewer said this was a bloated checklist with a few ideas (paraphrasing); they weren't wrong. It is also more of an evangelistic piece of rubbish than a reference. I'd pay someone twice the price of the book to get the time back I lost STARTING to read it. Look elsewhere if you're interested in the topic (or if you can't stand hearing markup referred to as "HTML code". lol).

His headers don't seem to fully be addressed in the section that follows. It reads more like a rambling than a well thought out explanation.

I did learn new things from this book, however as other reviewers commented, it reads a little bit like rambling on the virtues of the blockchain and cryptos which are repeated over and over.Also the writing style isn't really polished - it looks more like a transcript of of a spoken interview that is riddled with syntactic and language errors.

As a starting investor this book was an interesting read, it opened my eyes to new possibilities and I would certainly recommend it to other investors

I'm a writer and had an assignment about blockchain and fintech. I would say I've already read a bit of material on the topic and this was a great book to add to my knowledge and brought some weight to my article. Would definitely recommend this for non-beginners looking to beef up their knowledge about the topic.

Did a good job to introduce blockchain idea. But on the technical aspect, this book cannot provide a in depth idea about blockchain and crypto currency.

hype book about BC.

Theories well explained.But too little factual content for the money you pay.Cannot really recommend to buy first hand.

Libro troppo generico e poco dettagliato. E poi è troppo ripetitivo. Le nozioni sono solo accennate e non si va mai nello specifico della tecnologia.

The book is very useless. It hardly contain any specific information.

Perfect description by Jeff Reed. Point to point explanation about cryptocurrency, blockchain, smart contracts. All the basic details about CC in one book. Just amazing.

Terminei de ler o livro (quatro volumes) e sinto que não estou nenhum pouco mais preparado para utilizar ou adquirir crypto moedas.
