Book Description

The financial system is in the process of rocking off its feet. Change is inevitable, but where is the future of cryptocurrency? Is it hashgraph technology or blockchain technology? Some say that hashgraph is the future. It's fast, secure and fair and should become the future of how you handle transactions. Others see blockchain as the evolution of the world's economy, especially after it burst into awareness in 2017. You decide. Read the facts and comparisons in this easy-to-read and well-researched book authored by business owner, Stephen C. Keller. Mr. Keller holds a Master's degree in Healthcare Management from Park University and has had first-hand experience helping produce blockchain solutions for his own healthcare medical records company. Included in these six educational chapters are topics such as: What the change looks like Blockchain in simple terms and how it works Bitcoin New cryptocurrencies Who, what, and why of hashgraph Hashgraph versus Bitcoin - Why Hashgraph Wins A distrust of the current capitalist system has been growing. The Washington Post showed that more than half (51%) of millennials from the US reject capitalism. Unless trust is restored in the young, financial institutions will have no future. The time to understand cryptocurrency and its future is now. This is your future, too. Even though this book is designed for readers who are well versed in the crypto-sphere, a newcomer will have no problem gaining a comprehensive perspective of both technologies. Let Mr. Keller's book shine light on a topic that is here to stay. Buy a copy today.

Book Description

Blockchain is a technology that tends to be misunderstood by managers that need to make technology acquisition decisions. This book will provide readers with a basic understanding of blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT), the technologies that underpin it, and the technologies DLT is built upon. The book is purposefully not a book on how to code or explore other technical aspects of blockchain (other than the fundamentals). Rather, it provides managers with the basic understanding of the architectures and consensus algorithms, how they work, the design trade-offs of each architecture type, and what problems and use cases the core characteristics of DLT are best suited to solve ─ providing business managers with the core information they need to ask the right questions of vendors when making business value assessments and acquisition decisions.
