Sudhir Khatwani
Unless you are new to the cryptosphere, you must have heard about blockchains and cryptocurrencies. Well, if you haven't, 'blockchains' and 'cryptocurrencies' are the new buzz words, something the world is talking about. The 'blockchain' is the technology over which 'cryptocurrencies' are built. This technology is fairly new – 9 years since it was born. It started with application currencies like Bitcoin and Litecoin, but with time, the combined technology of crypto and blockchain has carved a niche for itself. Although such technologies are still not widely accepted in the present scenario, the days when they will inevitably be a part of our daily lives are not too far. Therefore, if you want to remain a step ahead of others in learning about these new technological advancements, here are some books that we suggest you read. Best Blockchain & Cryptocurrency Books 1.

This was one of the first books I read to understand why Bitcoin and the technology behind Bitcoin, the blockchain, will change money, businesses, and the world.

The book explores various use cases of blockchain across different industries. Considering there is not much to compare, to many it looks like a mere fantasy in many areas.
