Cryptocurrencies: from blockchain to bitcoin / by Henzel, Cynthia Kennedy,1954-author.(CARDINAL)487078;
"It took computer scientists decades to develop cryptocurrency, a popular form of digital money. Today, there are hundreds of types of crypto, which use blockchain technology. One of the most popular types of crypto is Bitcoin. Many people who bought Bitcoin shortly after it was created in 2009 made fortunes. Other people lost money when Bitcoin’s value dropped. Like many other types of crypto, Bitcoin’s value is constantly changing. Some people buy crypto to purchase items such as movie tickets, video games, or groceries. Other people buy crypto hoping its value will go up over time. Part of The Digital Economy series, Cryptocurrencies, From Blockchain to Bitcoin is a guide for young people interested in learning more about these digital currencies"--Provided by publisher.

Crypto decrypted : debunking myths, understanding breakthroughs, and building foundations for investing in digital assets / by Ryan, Jake(Financial advisor),author.(CARDINAL)873913; Diorio, James M.,Jr.,author.(CARDINAL)872671;
"What are is the big breakthrough? It's called the Merge and its purpose is to transform Ethereum, which is the most-used blockchain and powers Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency, with a $202 billion market cap. Ethereum also hosts numerous decentralized applications (dApps) and decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols and establishes the authenticity of millions of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). This means the outcome of the merge will affect not just the Ethereum blockchain, but a wide constellation of products and services that rely upon it. And given Ethereum's size and influence, the fate of the merge is likely to have a ripple effect on the broader crypto industry. The switch from proof of work to proof of stake will reduce overall energy consumption of Ethereum by 99.9% or more. That's game changing. Also, on Ethereum's road map are four other phases happening in parallel that developers are calling the "surge, verge, purge, and splurge"--all of which aim to make Ethereum much faster, safer, and more decentralized. At the end of this road map, Ethereum will be able to process 100,000 transactions per second. Again, this speed and scale may alter the world of financial services"--

According to the data provider CoinMarketCap, there are over 13,000 digital assets, which leads to increasing options as well as confusion for investors. Are there really so many tokens required in order to facilitate payments? How should investors choose amongst the various options? How should investors evaluate and monitor their choices? The answers are not trivial. As software, these tokens perform different functions and their functions and use cases can change over time. To simplify the answers, investors increasingly look at the actual usage and underlying microeconomics of various networks and trading activity around a token's unique drivers of growth. Grouping and categorizing tokens is an important part to structuring optimal investment decisions. MV Index Solutions (MVIS) has developed a classification scheme for digital assets and provides category indices that allows users to measure, benchmark and capture the performance and characteristics of targeted categories within the digital assets, making digital assets more digestible to traditional finance investors while giving crypto native funds additional benchmarking capabilities."--
