What You’ll Learn in This Book:
We’re not academics; we’re entrepreneurs. That means we’re down in the trenches of building our own blockchain business. This is the book that we wish we’d had when we started. It’s not just theory; it’s a practical, real-world view of how to build blockchains. We do blockchain consulting work for businesses and governments, which puts us in close proximity to the executives, entrepreneurs, and investors who are driving the blockchain ecosystem. We are always on the lookout for successful blockchain projects—not just blue-sky ideas but real projects with real users.

Blockchain is exciting (if you’re not already excited, get ready), but we wanted to help business leaders convey their excitement without getting mired in the excrement. In these stories, you’ll get the broad strokes of the technology (enough to be dangerous), but more important, you’ll learn practical applications (enough to stay safe).

How This Book Is Organized:
In part 1 (Chapters 1–3), you’ll learn the story of blockchain as we explain the technology by using real-world examples of the people and projects who have built the industry today.
In part 2 (Chapters 4–13), we’ll cover real-world examples of blockchain being used in real-world businesses. You’ll learn how these businesses overcame obstacles, and how they reaped rewards from this new technology, with battle-tested principles that you can immediately put into action.
In part 3 (Chapter 14), we’ll lock in this learning with a set of blockchain best practices that will get you started on building your own blockchain success story.
After reading this book, you’ll be able to discuss blockchain confidently with your colleagues and not just keep them awake but keep them excited. You’ll understand how blockchain is fundamentally rewiring the world, and how to reposition yourself in this new world order. Finally, you’ll unlock a wealth of new ideas for how to generate new wealth.
