Title: Best books about blockchain technology?
Post by: Abiky on January 10, 2017, 11:28:02 AM
I'm looking for the best books about blockchain technology that you would recommend me, that would help me expand my knowledge of Bitcoin's underlying technology.

I know that there are many books about the subject, but I want to know which books are the best that you would consider worth reading.

Any help would be greatly appreciated with this.  :)

It seems like you're wanna be the blockchain expert. We are having the same purpose to be the blockchain experts. But I starting it for active read the in the various subsections.
I am a silent reader in the development and technical section.

franky can become the best teacher for this.  ;D

I would read all the work from Andreas Antonopoulos , mastering bitcoin is probably a good start, it goes pretty technical, then I would probably read cryptography books and other related books to crypto and not only blockchain stuff if you want to become a master. All the guys working in bitcoin have strong backgrounds in math cryptography etc...its a crazy field,  I would never be able to do it.

I read a few books on Bitcoin, including:
Digital Gold by Nathaniel Popper
Virtual Billions by Eric Geissinger
However, they are mostly about the people who use Bitcoin, with little technical information.
I do, however, recommend this video series:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNcSSleedtfyDuhBvOQzFzQ (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNcSSleedtfyDuhBvOQzFzQ)
It is very informative and technical, mentions things like smart contracts and PoS, but is a little outdated, so don't expect to find any mention of recent events.

Yeah. I not only want to become a blockchain expert to further expand my knowledge, but to also help companies, businesses and banks whenever they need to setup their own blockchain solution.

Ever since I've found out about Bitcoin, I became deeply interested into blockchain technology. That is why I always make questions, to get answers and expand my knowledge. Hopefully, franky would be very helpful in helping me achieve this goal.  ::)

Thanks mate. I have found out that Bitcoin is way more than a blockchain, which involves a wide array of subjects like cryptography, merklee trees, and others. It would be hard to get a grasp at all this to become an expert in Bitcoin and blockchain, but in the end it would be worth it.

Nevertheless, I'm looking to start a career in blockchain technology, sometime in the future.  :)

Thanks a lot for these very useful resources. I'll be adding them up towards my list to further expand my knowledge about Bitcoin and its underlying technology.

As for the videos, I sometimes find it a better way to learn than reading books, as their visuals help a lot in understanding the subject better than just plain text.

Nevertheless, if you have more great stuff you'd like to share, then feel free to do so. I'm looking forward to learn more each day.  ;D

Thank you for your list of recommended books. I've started to read the Blockchain Revolution book, and so far it looks quite interesting as it explains how the trust protocol came and how it will change the world. Quite a good book for those who are new to blockchain, as well as those that have started studying it.  :)

Although a year old it is still relevant especially for those late comers,there are a lot of videos on youtube about bitcoin and this is also my best source when it comes to finding the best information about Bitcoin,past and present of course not only bitcoin but all topics and keywords.

Why want to read book about blockchain technology if you can search everything on internet? Google got everything you want. Seems like you wanna be an expert. This forum can give much informations. Plus you can ask them about everything on blockchain technology. There are also many videos at youtube. Sometimes its more easier to undertand everything through your visions.

Were the same here, I wanted also to be an expert in blockchain technology. I just watching videos from youtube, searching information in google or anything in the internet. You may want books to read or to get informations, but me I can search it through internet. You know internet is powerful, we can learn, and we can gain knowledge of it.

As much as there is a wealth of information on the internet, I mostly prefer physical books to add up to my personal library to teach myself about the blockchain as well as serve as educational tools for new people that I would be introducing towards cryptocurrencies. I want to become a blockchain expert, as I believe that it is a disruptive technology that will become used in the mainstream by central banks and governments worldwide. Because of this, I have become more interested into starting my career into everything related blockchain (ex: development, etc.)

Still, I have no doubt that the internet is the best way to teach yourself about this innovative technology, so Google and YouTube are the best resources to get started with it. If you guys happen to know of any blockchain certifications that would certify me as an official blockchain expert, please let me know.  :)

Mastering Bitcoin (mentioned earlier) followed by https://www.amazon.com/Cryptography-Engineering-Principles-Practical-Applications/dp/0470474246 gave me a good primer in how these systems work--this is also a good free course if you want to go a bit further https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aHkqB2-46k. For the most part, the math is beyond me, but I was still able to learn best practices, gain enough understanding to know the BS from thoughtful opinion or entrenched fact, and realize that each system has tradeoffs between security and efficiency that must be considered by the developer and the end user.

You really wanna be a blockchain expert isn't? Or your just a book reader and blockchain got your attention right. There are lots of books about it, just type in the google about the different books in blockchain. The things that I know about blockchain it is the new internet technology in our generation.

One of the best books imo is "Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Technologies:A Comprehensive Introduction" from Princeton University. The writers has also did a MOOC in Coursera platform with the same subject. So their book follows the same way where with a simple way and using illustrative examples, where that is necessary, they explain bitcoin and blockchain technology and they introduce readers about altcoins too.

Yeah. As Blockchain is making strides in the business industry, as well as transforming the internet, it has made me become more interested into it, by expanding my career into something blockchain related.

It is of no doubt that blockchain is the technology of the future, and will change our daily lives from finance, to healthcare, to governance, and more.  ;D

I've recently read mastering blockchain by Imran Bashir, this is the best book I've found so far. Before this I read mastering Bitcoin which is a great book too but is only focused on Bitcoin. There are other books too but "mastering Blockchain"  covers almost everything ranging from theoretical concepts to practical Blockchain development. I've thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone who needs a solid foundation in Blockchain technology. Here are the table of contents for your reference.

Blockchain 101
Decentralization
Cryptography and Technical Foundations
Bitcoin
Alternative Coins
Smart Contracts
Ethereum 101
Ethereum Development
Hyperledger
Alternative Blockchains
Blockchain-Outside of Currencies
Scalability and Other Challenges
Current Landscape and What's Next

Thanks for sharing these useful resources, mate. They have very detailed information, to help you get started on your journey towards becoming a blockchain expert. One of the topics which I like the most is Ethereum with its Smart Contracts. If it becomes perfectioned, and adopted by businesses and corporations, we could see a world full of automation from filling your car's gas tank, to using your washing machine, and more.

By learning everything about the blockchain, and Bitcoin's technical aspects, I hope to not only become a master of the subject but also use those skills to create my own cryptocurrency, and more.  ::)

Thanks for sharing this, mate. It is a very good read, as it helps you understand Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. In an academic perspective, it aims to teach you deeply almost everything about the highly evolving technology underlying cryptocurrencies called the blockchain.

With these video lectures, and the book itself, you'll be able to expand your knowledge with cryptocurrencies, or get started with them if you're new to the field. Therefore, I highly recommend this material for newbies, and experienced users alike.

Nevertheless, I'm looking forward for new and exciting blockchain books to add into my library. They will not only help me become a master of the technology, but also help serve as great educational tools for others to learn something new. :)

I know that books most of the time are the best source of knowledge but when it comes to something that changes as fast as cryptocurrencies then I think it is better to avoid books, books cannot be updated as fast as any blog or forum can, so while books are a great tool to learn, in this particular case books seems to not be the best option.

None is 100% perfect in the sense it covers everything and are totally clear to understand and with working software.
Best one I think is mastering Bitcoin, but of course it doesn't cover everything.

That is certainly true, mate. While there are many good books out there which help you know more about the blockchain, they won't be able to stay up to date at a quick rate unlike content published online.

Despite everything, it is always best to make your own research and self study about this revolutionary technology that is about to change the world as we know it. The blockchain underlies many complex subjects such as cryptography and mathematics, but if you manage to dominate these areas, then nothing should stop you from becoming a blockchain expert in the future.

One thing for sure, is that the more the blockchain industry grows, the more businesses and companies will join, making those people who are experienced in the field, highly demanded for the jobs of tomorrow. Just my opinion. :)

I believe that books like Mastering Bitcoin, and Blockchain Revolution are ideal for anyone looking to become a blockchain expert as they explain the concepts of the same in an easy way for any average Joe to understand.

However, it is possible to look out for better resources in the web, as they're constantly updated to meet the needs of everyday people. Therefore, with proper education, anyone could become a blockchain expert towards building a better world in the future. Just my thoughts. ;D

I noticed that this is an older thread. But for any new guys who are looking to gain a basic understanding of crypto and their underlying technology, blockchain. I created a really simple website, Decryptionary.com (http://Decryptionary.com)

Decryptionary is the simplest crypto and blockchain resource. It includes a dictionary with 200+ definitions, word lists by subject, and visual walkthroughs to help them participate.

All of it is free, and there is no investment advice.

You can find a lot of information on Blockchain technology via the internet.  There are also courses offered on Udemy which are very affordable.  Youtube is another good place to find videos on the subject.  I prefer visual learning over reading books.  Books on Blockchain technology can also be outdated pretty quick.

I have not yet seen a book about blockchain technology. I have not yet also seen a book about the cryptocurrency industry. They should start publishing this kinds of book so they can know about how useful or what kind of help this can offer us. Everything is on the internet about cryptocurrency and about the blockchain technology that we are using.

Honestly, these are the best books around which explain the blockchain technology thoroughly. They've helped me gain proper knowledge about how the blockchain works, and the benefits it provides to our society. Of course, you could find more information about all of this over the web, but these books are also good for studying when there is no internet around. Serving as a great educational tool for newbies, books like these allow anyone to gain a proper understanding of Bitcoin's underlying technology.

Nonetheless, there are other great books that explain everything about the blockchain such as "Blockchain Technology Explained" by Alan T. Norman, and "The Truth Machine: The Blockchain and the Future of Everything" by Michael J. Casey and Paul Vigna. This last one has not been released yet, but it is available for pre-order at Amazon. Since it has the same authors as "The Age of Cryptocurrency" book, I believe that it may be a good read towards expanding your knowledge about the blockchain.

Hopefully many people become educated by these books, and make better use of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in the mainstream world. :)

2- On blockchain technology “Mastering Blockchain” by Imran Bashir you can buy from Amazon here Imran Bashir: Amazon.it: Kindle Store which is quite recent book (March 2017) and great for understanding blockchain technology starting from the distributed systems concepts and decentralized networks.

3- Cryptocurrencies in general and how the blockchain technology will impact our society you should read these books : “Money on Demand” you can find here Amazon.com: Books

There is no doubt that these are the best books around which explain the blockchain technology thoroughly. Books that are written from Andreas Antonopoulos are especially a good read. Every release expands your knowledge not only about the blockchain but about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as well. With the rising popularity of cryptocurrencies, we might see a high demand of blockchain careers in the future. As such, those who read a lot of these blockchain books and other content around the web, will most likely become experts in the subject.

Things aside, there's another book which is worth reading and that one is called "Blockchain Basics" by Daniel Drescher. Of course, there is more info about this around the web, but books are great for reading when the is no internet access at all. Just my thoughts ;D

Maybe it's not the best thing to say here, but it's better for you to search for some blochchain-programming courses, youtube channels, blogs and so on. The reason is that blockchain is a dynamic phenomena, and existing books are instantly becoming outdated...I so some, but they were suitable for total amateurs as a fun-reading, but not a developing thing.

Thanks for the tip, mate. I've found that online resources are the best when it comes to learning deeply about the blockchain towards becoming an expert in the future. Books are also great, but they won't be able to always provide you with the latest trends in the technology, leaving some concepts within them outdated. There are many good tutorials available online which can get you up to speed with learning how cryptocurrencies and the blockchain works.

If you head to YouTube, there are several good channels which teach you thoroughly about these subjects. BuriedOne, and IMineBlocks are my most favorite as they always provide how-tos for everything crypto.

Nevertheless, with all the vast information available across the web related to the blockchain, anyone can acquire the necessary knowledge to become an expert in the subject in the future. :)
