Essays on the Blockchain Subramanian

Blockchain is the new technology that powers a new class of decentralized applications on the internet. It is a new organizing paradigm for discovery of information and transfer of any information, and, potentially organization of all human activity at a much larger and efficient scale than before. We may be at the dawn of a new revolution that started with the fringe economy on the internet, an alternative currency called Bitcoin. This book is a modified version of several of my posts on notesnewtech.com. It is divided into three sections i.e. Bitcoin, Smart Contract and applications for easy consumption by readers. This collection of essays presented here provide the reader a holistic view of events in the Blockchain space. Some of the essays document important technical problems that the Blockchain solves. A few other essays document important non-technical or business-related happenings in the ecosystem. Overall, this collection of 25 essays will form a good introduction to both the technical and economic aspects of the Blockchain.
