Cryptocurrencies are here to stay, especially for the Youth. After 14 years of development, Blockchain Technology and Cryptocurrencies have penetrated deeply into everyday discussions among geeks. While the pandemic has brought masses, especially the Indian middle class youth, to take interest in this technology, their level of understanding remains shallow. What You Might be Missing… The buzzing question of the hour is whether to build a career/invest in crypto or not. Few recognize the need for faith in the concept to stay invested in such technologies, which can develop only from an understanding of the functioning and applications of cryptos. In Tech-onomics of Cryptocurrencies, Riya and Satyam, two high school students, fill this gap, breaking down the concept of cryptocurrencies for the masses in a simple and lucid language. They outline what blockchain is, break it down as a public ledger and the way it is networked. They explore Bitcoin and Ethereum, the differences between them in terms of proof of work and proof of stake, and the developments being made to address the grey areas. Delving into the economic dimension, they simplify the way cryptos might affect our lives, the economy, businesses and impact industries. This book is a simple yet wholesome explanation of the technology and the industry, which helps learners from all parts of the society to know, and leverage this knowledge to build a career in a concept which possibly defines our future. In this fast paced world, we can all now understand Cryptocurrencies, widening our future prospects in life. "The book presents a fearful and complex digital world of cryptos in a very simplified yet an erudite manner. The setting of the narrative with Emma and her friends developing a block chain is perfect ground for a reader to get absorbed and understand the dynamics that play in transacting cryptocurrencies. “Cryptocurrencies’ is a must read for all. Block chain mechanisms are here to stay and to construct our future transactional methodologies. Traders in crypto will do well to know how their transactions actually travel than being restricted to a mere buy and sell mode. Riya and Satyam have showcased immense diligence and in-depth research that has gone into presenting this knowledgeable account." -Yogesh Sindhwani, Head of Lancers International School

Beyond Bitcoin
Over the last few years, we have witnessed an upsurge of enthusiasm about cryptocurrencies and, more generally, the so-called blockchain technology. In this new and updated edition, the authors explore what exactly these new technologies entail and promise. They argue that to understand the potential challenges and further developments in the market, one needs to develop an understanding of what needs these innovations fulfill and what business models are consistent with their use. For that, we need to sufficiently understand both the technology and how it affects the economic forces at play. This book goes beyond the headlines that say “blockchain will decentralize everything” and provides in-depth, rigorous analysis of what can be effectively decentralized and how this decentralization will work. The book draws not only on the general knowledge of digital currencies and blockchain technologies, but also on recent academic research on the topic. Featuring a fully updated chapter on cryptocurrencies and new chapters on smart contracts and enterprise blockchains, this book is critical reading for those interested in how technology developments impact business and society.
