"From the author of Mind Hacking and founder of Bitcoin Market Journal comes the first book to explain the money-making secrets behind bitcoin and blockchain in a user-friendly format.

He wasn't alone: this flood of new money is like the early days of the Internet, creating a new breed of "blockchain billionaires." Sir John has unlocked their secrets. In Blockchain for Everyone, Sir John reveals the formula for investing in bitcoin and blockchain, using real-life stories, easy-to-understand examples, and a healthy helping of humor.

Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology / by Karpan, Andrew,editor.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."With cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin on the rise, many wonder if these digital currencies could be the exchange medium of the future, but what are cryptocurrencies and the blockchain technology that facilitates them?
