Here are a few of the most essential takeaways from Think Blockchain: If databases were birds, blockchain would be a duck Blockchain's truly brilliant architecture is built on decades-old fundamental research in cryptography, distributed transaction processing, game theory, and yes--database technology too.
Bitcoin is just one of one thousand applications of blockchain Applying blockchain technology broadly will transform industries--because its application can go far beyond cryptocurrency and Bitcoin.
Blockchain technology comes in many shapes and sizes.
Modern blockchain is flexible and ultra-efficient.
Decentralized blockchain establishes unprecedented trust How much decentralizing is good enough to establish trust? Designing your blockchain application with a Minimally Viable Decentralization (MVD) is the key to balance performance and unprecedented trust.
Blockchain-based trust breeds wide-scale adoption Blockchain's combination of reputational trust and algorithmic trust calms fear, trepidation and encourages wide-scale usage from a large, diverse population of users.
When this trust model is applied correctly, a safe, secure, and vibrant ecosystem will quickly emerge.
Blockchain at the nexus of emerging technology Trust is also essential for the wide-scale adoption of emerging technologies.
With software and open source eating the world, trusting technology is not an option; it is essential.
Web3 is the future internet fueled by blockchain While many say Web3 is the future of the internet, skeptics say, it's just a buzzword.
There is no doubt in my mind that the wonderful thing that we call internet will evolve.
The next wave must tackle the toughest challenges covered in this book, however, doing so will provide a means to flow more control and rewards to those creating the value on the web.
Blockchain is changing everyday life for good The final key takeaway is that blockchain is a technology that is poised to change everyday life for the better.
Blockchain as a technology and a mindset breeds trustworthy computing and becomes the fuel that propels Web3 and the future of our internet - for good.
