Chuen offers us a good backgrounding on bitcoin and its underlying transaction ledger, the blockchain. The text strives for a global perspective, describing bitcoin opportunities and startups in several countries. Since the field is still nascent, there is necessarily much speculation, various of which are explained. The potential is immense if you can use some guidance from Chuen and come up with a hitherto unexplored use.The technical coverage in the book is good. But readers from a non-programming background can benefit too. This is not a narrow technical text but one that looks at the business chances. Managers and people wondering what to do next with their careers in startups might consult the book.The only drawback is the cost. Why so high? Given this, you might want to search elsewhere for cheaper hints of the future.
