Blockchain technology eliminates the need for a centralized authority. Several major financial institutions, notably Goldman Sachs (GS) and JPMorgan (JPM), are substantially investing in technology development. Here are three top books on the subject for those interested in learning more about blockchain technology and its applications.

1. The Book of Satoshi by Phil Champagne

Bitcoin and blockchain technology are linked because blockchain enabled the creation of cryptocurrencies. This book contains the writings of Satoshi Nakamoto, the enigmatic Bitcoin founder. The exact identity of Nakamoto was still unknown to the general public in early 2020.

The Nakamoto identity, like the coin it created, has just a virtual existence. Only in the early days of Bitcoin’s launch did Nakamoto give online writings to explain Bitcoin. The Book of Satoshi is a comprehensive collection of Nakamoto’s introductory essays, including the initial article outlining the Bitcoin concept.

The book also includes a chronologically arranged compilation of Nakamoto’s emails, online forum posts, and his explanation of Bitcoin’s workings.

2. The Blockchain Developer by Elad Elrom

While the other books on this list give a broad overview of blockchain technology, this one is created specifically for developers. Author Elad Elrom outlines the process of developing your blockchain and establishing dApps. Portions of the book are dedicated to prominent existing blockchains for developers interested in building apps for these networks, and a part concerning blockchain uses outside of bitcoin.

3. Cryptoassets by Chris Burniske and Jack Tatar

Burniske and Tatar examine blockchain from a financial standpoint and touch on significant technological concepts. Rather than programmers or Bitcoin aficionados, “Cryptoassets: The Innovative Investor’s Guide to Bitcoin and Beyond” is created for investors. Resultantly, the majority of their explanations remain current and understandable. Burniske and Tatar begin by discussing the roots of Bitcoin during the financial crisis of 2008. They then go into the fundamentals. They also go through the general critical differences between Bitcoin and blockchain technology. After that, the book delves into the many sorts of crypto assets that have emerged, such as crypto tokens and commodities.

This book also goes above and beyond most other works in the field by seeking to establish crypto assets as a distinct asset class. There’s even a chapter dedicated to the challenging issue of building a crypto asset valuation system. While the market is still too new for a clear framework, Burniske and Tatar deserve credit for establishing the groundwork.

Finally, they go over the nuts and bolts of blockchain investing. Initial coin offerings (ICOs), blockchain wallets, and cryptocurrency exchanges are covered.

4. Blockchain Revolution by Don and Alex Tapscott

Don and Alex Tapscott, a father-and-son combination, wrote “Blockchain Revolution” to explain the implications of cryptocurrencies. Blockchain technology’s open platform will expand and revolutionize what we can do online, how we do it, and who may participate.

According to Tapscotts, Blockchain technology will vastly improve the delivery of expanding financial services and protecting personal identifying information. Business contracts and the development of the Internet of Things both benefit from the blockchain (IoT).

The book discusses how blockchain technology transforms people’s thoughts about transactions, money, and business. Don Tapscott, co-author of “Wikinomics,” and his son, Alex, a blockchain expert, describe the technology in detail.

They envision it as a basic yet disruptive protocol that uses the distributed ledger to make financial transactions anonymous and safe. Blockchain technology is still in its infancy, according to the writers. They do an excellent job of differentiating what the technology can give now from its enormous future potential.

5. The Basics of Bitcoins and Blockchains by Antony Lewis

Antony Lewis, previously of early bitcoin exchange itBit, has been a cryptocurrency and blockchain expert for nearly a decade. Lewis breaks down technical aspects of blockchain technology in a consumable and understandable way for those inside and outside the field in this book.

While this book also covers the principles of cryptocurrencies, it is precious for individuals interested in blockchain technology and its numerous applications.
