It provides a  clear and comprehensive overview of blockchain technology  and its possibilities, and thereby helps readers to form an  opinion and draw their own conclusions about its potential  exploitations. The book begins with a chapter on the topic  of decentralized networks, which familiarizes readers with  their challenges by using the example of an online trading  platform. Hereinafter, it is then detailed what blockchain  technology is, where it comes from, and how it works.
