Overview

Discover the book

Blockchain is the mysterious technology behind Bitcoin. It can be used for various purposes and could drastically change our current way of living. Think of a country without a central government or a more task-oriented economy without permanent employment. And what could blockchain mean to your work or your business?

If we would like to benefit from the opportunities that this technology can bring us, we need to embrace it. With original metaphors and a clear, cheerful way of writing, Redmer Huizinga and professor Arturo Bris discuss how blockchain could change our (economic) world and invite us to reflect about the approaching blockchain revolution.
