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
