Hello MovieChain,
To understand the blockchain we need to look at the basis of the technology behind it, namely the first whitepaper written on the topic by Satoshi Nakamoto which can be found here.
If you have read your way through this whitepaper already and want to focus more on the blockchain itself we suggest reading the book written by Andreas Antonopoulos: Mastering Bitcoin. Even though the title suggests it is about bitcoin, it also covers the blockchain technology extensively.
The second book we would recommend to you is the Blockchain Revolution written by Dan and Alex Tapscott. This book focusses more on the actual use cases of the blockchain technology and its potential. It also sketches a possible future across a number industries and the outcomes the blockchain technology could offer.
The final book we suggest is The Business Blockchain written by William Mougayar. This book is a recommendation for after you have read the precious books. It goes in depth about how the blockchain will impact the financial industry. Since the blockchain has the biggest potential usage in the financial sector it is a very interesting read for the people who already grasp the basic knowledge behind the blockchain.
With kind regards,
The Anycoin Direct team
Topic: What books should I read on blockchain? (Read 154 times)
you can read the information about blockchain online. I do see much of the publication on magazines actually than on books but there are several books that can be avail in amazon. I just checked it and seem a lot of it. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=blockchain prices are less than $25 too. You might find some of them interesting with good titles and no just discussing blockchain.
Blockchain is a very new technology in the world. People are learning and developing the technology every day. And for so, I also have not found any specific guide on this topic. But it is true that, you will get a lot of online resources to learn blockchain.
There are many actually, you can go for, Blockchain Revolution, The Age Of Cryptocurrency, The Business Blockchain, Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Technologies or Mastering Bitcoin etc.
Please, where should I start?
First read the Satoshi's whitepaper. Then learn about the basics. I assume you know what P2P is. If not learn. Do you know what hashes are? If not learn. Do you know what is a one-way function? Hell, do you know what a function is? Start with these.
Watch youtube videos on cryptography. Once you get a rough handle on the concepts of cryptography then wallets, transactions, will start to make sense. It will become intuitive instead of this mass of FUD.
There are many excellent youtube videos out there that cover this.
I think there ain’t many books on Crypto just yet. You don’t actually need to read any book to know about Crypto, there are a lots of articles about Cryptocurrency, which you will easily by google search. You can also watch some videos about it. There’re lots.

you want to learn blockchain technology, you should first have a background as a programmer. I see there are amazon sites that sell books about blockchain technology, this future technology is in need for modern fintech
What exactly do you want to learn?
If you want to develop something, then you should probably learn how to code.
On the other hand, if you just want to know in detail about the technology and its features, then you should perhaps watch a few YouTube videos and then refer to a few articles online.
I suggest you first get basic understanding of the technology and its principles and then decide from there how you want to proceed.

it really depends on how much you are familiar with the blockchain technology and also how much you are planning to learn!
if for example you know nothing and just want to know the basics and have a simple idea of how things work then go to Coindesk.com and visit their articles about "What is bitcoin", "how does mining work",... they will explain to you in simple enough words how things work.
if you want a book to do that and also have some more details so that you can learn a little more advanced topics then search for Andreas Antonopoulos, he is the only one that I dare say understands bitcoin and knows that to teach that to others. he has a couple of books one of which called Mastering Bitcoin, read that.

Blockchain technology is relatively young. And I don't know if such books exist. In any case, I did not see such. But you can learn about blockchain technology on the Internet. There are many sites.There you can find all the information you need.You can also get such information on bitcoin forums.
Please, where should I start?
