A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE MONTH FROM THE WALL STREET JOURNAL: "Nothing Mr. Gilder says or writes is ever delivered at anything less than the fullest philosophical decibel. Mr. Gilder sounds less like a tech guru than a poet, and his words tumble out in a romantic cascade." ?Google?s algorithms assume the world?s future is nothing more than the next moment in a random process. George Gilder shows how deep this assumption goes, what motivates people to make it, and why it?s wrong: the future depends on human action.? ? Peter Thiel, founder of PayPal and Palantir Technologies and author of Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future The Age of Google, built on big data and machine intelligence, has been an awesome era. But it?s coming to an end. In Life after Google, George Gilder?the peerless visionary of technology and culture?explains why Silicon Valley is suffering a nervous breakdown and what to expect as the post-Google age dawns. Google?s astonishing ability to ?search and sort? attracts the entire world to its search engine and countless other goodies?videos, maps, email, calendars.And everything it offers is free, or so it seems. Instead of paying directly, users submit to advertising. The system of ?aggregate and advertise? works?for a while?if you control an empire of data centers, but a market without prices strangles entrepreneurship and turns the Internet into a wasteland of ads. The crisis is not just economic. Even as advances in artificial intelligence induce delusions of omnipotence and transcendence, Silicon Valley has pretty much given up on security. The Internet firewalls supposedly protecting all those passwords and personal information have proved hopelessly permeable. The crisis cannot be solved within the current computer and network architecture. The future lies with the ?cryptocosm??the new architecture of the blockchain and its derivatives. Enabling cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and ether, NEO and Hashgraph, it will provide the Internet a secure global payments system, ending the aggregate-and-advertise Age of Google. Silicon Valley, long dominated by a few giants, faces a ?great unbundling,? which will disperse computer power and commerce and transform the economy and the Internet. Life after Google is almost here.   For fans of "Wealth and Poverty," "Knowledge and Power," and "The Scandal of Money.".…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Bitcoin became a buzzword overnight. A cyber-enigma with an enthusiastic following, it pops up in headlines and fuels endless media debate. You can apparently use it to buy anything from coffee to cars, yet few people seem to truly understand what it is. This raises the question: Why should anyone care about bitcoin? In The Age of Cryptocurrency, Wall Street journalists Paul Vigna and Michael J. Casey deliver the definitive answer to this question. Cybermoney is poised to launch a revolution, one that could reinvent traditional financial and social structures while bringing the world's billions of unbanked individuals into a new global economy. Cryptocurrency holds the promise of a financial system without a middleman, one owned by the people who use it and one safeguarded from the devastation of a 2008-type crash. But bitcoin, the most famous of the cybermonies, carries a reputation for instability, wild fluctuation, and illicit business; some fear it has the power to eliminate jobs and to upend the concept of a nation-state. It implies, above all, monumental and wide-reaching change--for better and for worse. But it is here to stay, and you ignore it at your peril. Vigna and Casey demystify cryptocurrency--its origins, its function, and what you need to know to navigate a cyber-economy. The digital currency world will look very different from the paper currency world; The Age of Cryptocurrency will teach you how to be ready.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Blockchain technology is powering our future. As the technology behind cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, open software platforms like Ethereum, and disruptive companies like Ripple, it's too important to ignore. In this revelatory book, Don Tapscott, the bestselling author of Wikinomics, and his son, blockchain expert Alex Tapscott, bring us a brilliantly researched, highly readable, and essential book about the technology driving the future of the economy. Blockchain is the ingeniously simple, revolution-ary protocol that allows transactions to be simultaneously anonymous and secure by maintaining a tamperproof public ledger of value. Though it's best known as the technology that drives bitcoin and other digital cur-rencies, it also has the potential to go far beyond currency, to record virtually everything of value to humankind, from birth and death certifi-cates to insurance claims, land titles, and even votes. Blockchain is also essential to understand if you're an artist who wants to make a living off your art, a consumer who wants to know where that hamburger meat really came from, an immigrant who's tired of paying big fees to send money home to your loved ones, or an entrepreneur looking for a new platform to build a business. And those examples are barely the tip of the iceberg. As with major paradigm shifts that preceded it, blockchain technology will create winners and losers. This book shines a light on where it can lead us in the next decade and beyond.…

The easiest way into the world of blockchain, cryptocurrency, decentralization, bitcoin, icos, and co: Have you ever asked yourself what a cryptocurrency, a blockchain, or Bitcoin is? How about the word decentralization? You might have heard that these things are coming and will take over the world. No matter if you have or haven't, they are right-these things are coming. And these things will play just as important a role as the internet has for the past 20 years. You know who won with the internet? The people who started preparing for it at the beginning, using it personally or for their business before others did.With this new technology called blockchain, a similar window of opportunity has started to open.If you have no clue what a blockchain, a cryptocurrency, or Bitcoin is, don't worry-most of the population doesn't.One of the main challenges for anyone trying to get familiar with these topics is the question of Where should I start? This is exactly what prompted me to write this book.In the simplest way possible, I will explain all the aforementioned points so even a 10-year-old could understand them. At the same time, I will reference the details on a technical level to give you both the large scale and the detailed picture. Explaining something to a 10-year-old is in no way a commentary on anyone's intelligence. I'm just following Albert Einstein's advice: If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.My ultimate goal is to make people all around the world #CRYPTOFIT. I.E fit for this new wave of decentralization and blockchain.10 things you will learn in this book that will blow your mind: What does backed by gold actually mean?Will cryptocurrencies replace fiat currencies?Can an internet outage destroy cryptocurrencies?Does mining really create cryptocurrencies? (Hint: It doesn't)Is a maximum amount of Bitcoin really good for a currency?How do I get a cryptocurrency account if no one is in charge?Are cryptocurrencies better than fiat currencies?Is blockchain the only solution for decentralization?Which technology will win?

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Are you looking to invest in a cryptocurrency that has the potential to reap high levels of profits? Do you want to know more about the technology that could convert centralized systems across thousands of services into open source, decentralized networks? This technology is Ethereum, and it is one of the most talked about crypto-technologies of the moment, alongside its currency, known as Ether. This book is going to provide you with everything you need to know about Ethereum and whether it is worth investing in now. Like many people, I became interested in Bitcoin years ago, when Bitcoin was still relatively new, but hinting at a huge profit margin for those who took the risk and invested. It was after a couple of years playing around on the Bitcoin market that I heard about a new type of blockchain technology, one that wasn't just a digital form of payment, but one that could support potentially endless different types of applications. Not only that, but it comes with its own currency. This, to me, sounded like a potentially profitable situation, so I decided to dig a little deeper. Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum is still largely unknown to those who don't keep up with the cryptocurrency world, so the amount of information available is limited or highly technical. Still, it was fascinating and the more I read about Ethereum, the more I began to see its huge potential. And I'm not alone. More and more Fortune 500 companies are investing in Ethereum technology as it becomes increasingly lucrative and poises to change business processes as we know them. I decided to condense my research and share my knowledge on Ethereum by writing this book. The book is designed for those who are new to cryptocurrency, but want to invest in it or learn more about it, as well as for more experienced traders looking to expand their portfolios.
