Xiao Z takes you to learn the Blockchain technology: 10 books, teach you from entry to mastery

The blockchain, along with the encrypted digital currency, is hailed as one of the great technologies that will change the world. There is a saying that is good: opportunities are reserved only for those who are prepared. I believe many people want to walk into the blockchain, understand the blockchain, and embrace the blockchain, but they can't find a suitable way to get started. In fact, no matter which kind of industry, if you want to grasp the context of this industry in depth, the best way to start is to study. Like everyone else, I have just started to study the blockchain in the recent period. But believe me, blockchain technology has great development prospects, and it is not too late to learn from now. Here is what I picked and chose, to find out from a number of books on the block chain technology in 10 of the most progressive approach for beginners, gradually went into, understand and master the block chain technology books, please Gourmet Kitchen .

1 , entry-level books

Friedrich von Hayek, Yao Zhongqiu translated "Non-State of Currency - Analysis of the Theory and Practice of Multi-Currency"
As one of the greatest political economists of the last century, Hayek wrote his last book in his later years: "Non-nationalization of money." It can be said that this book is the final guide and the ultimate result of his lifelong thinking. Here, he subverts the orthodox monetary system concept: Since free competition is most efficient in the general commodity and service markets, why can't free competition be introduced in the currency field? Hayek made a revolutionary proposal: abolish the central bank system, allow private money to be issued, and compete freely. This competitive process will find the best currency. The idea of ​​the book's ideas, with the blockchain and the initial budding of bitcoin technology, is almost at the same time. It can be said that they jointly provided the initial soil for the emergence of bitcoin after more than 30 years, and the blockchain technology took root.

Nakamoto Satoshi Bitcoin White Paper: "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System"
As the first blockchain technology to take root and be widely promoted, with the application of changing the future trend of the world - the white paper of the basic interpretation of the bitcoin trading system must be read. White Paper Abstract: This paper proposes an electronic cash system that is fully implemented through peer-to-peer technology, which enables online payments to be initiated directly by one party and paid to the other without the need to go through any financial institution. Although Digital signatures partially solves this problem, if third-party support is still needed to prevent double-spending, then the system loses its value. Here we propose a solution that allows the cash system to operate in a peer-to-peer environment and prevents double payment problems. The network adds timestamps to all transactions by random hashing, and merges them into a continuous, random-hash-based proof-of-work chain as transaction records, unless Re-complete all work proofs and the resulting transaction records will not be changeable. The longest chain will not only be used as proof of the sequence of events observed, but also as the pool from the CPU's most computational power. As long as most of the CPU computing power is not intended to work together to attack the entire network, then honest nodes will generate the longest chain that exceeds the attacker. The system itself requires very little infrastructure. Information can be propagated throughout the network with the utmost effort, nodes can leave and rejoin the network at any time, and the longest workload proof chain is used as proof of the transactions that occurred during the offline of the node. To fully understand Bitcoin, you must study the Bitcoin white paper carefully, and it is best to study the original white paper in English.
