Product details

An interesting read for anyone, and required reading for everyone who really wants to understand cryptocurrencies. In this collection of essays, Mr. Nunn has done a masterful job of exploring Buterinâ€™s seven â€œdeadly crypto sins,â€ which deal with 51% attacks, large-scale applications, account security, execution latency, proof of work, proof of stake, and autonomous governance. Blockchain, hard forks, and artificial intelligence with regard to cryptocurrencies are also discussed. The reader will find it reassuring that crypto pioneers are looking towards the future of cryptocurrencies by identifying issues today. Nunn concludes with his arguments as to why cryptocurrencies are the future of money with a quote from Star Trek TNG â€œWeâ€™ve eliminated hunger, want, the need for possessions. Weâ€™ve grown out of our infancy.â€
I am a rookie in this area of Crypto, and this book is helping me to "move into today". I rarely use cash. I do direct deposit for my bill, online deposit of check received, and I charge as often as I can. Bottom line is I rarely see or hold hard cash in my hands. I need to learn more and Mr Nunn's book is my gateway to today. I had a tough time getting rid of punch cards, then tape, flopy disks, CD/DVD ... so why not take the next step to crypto currency.

I like Mr Nunn's quote from Star Trek TNG â€œWeâ€™ve eliminated hunger, want, the need for possessions. Weâ€™ve grown out of our infancy.â€ Amen for me.
