Reddit reviews The Business Blockchain: Promise, Practice, and Application of the Next Internet Technology

I find it interesting that so much people on here feast on the losses of others.

Yeah it's down <20% in a day but it's still back to the value it was 3 days ago.

Invest in it or don't. It is speculation but the technology behind it is still very interesting and promising.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about BTC and the whole blockchain technology:

And yes I did invest in Bitcoin over the past year. I find it's a nice diversification to my stocks portfolio.

Note: If anyone finds a major flaw in this news or my reasoning about it, don't hold back criticism.

To the best of my understanding, during a taped on-stage talk given at the NYC Ethereal Summit [Friday, May 19th], William Mougayar said that "a traditional company with millions of users" is going to be announcing a token issuance on the public blockchain on May 25th at the Token Summit conference. I am presuming "public blockchain" is "Ethereum blockchain," inferred from context in which he spoke of other, earlier, smaller new companies issuing ICO tokens. (Obviously it's not the bitcoin blockchain.)

His specific quote starts around 54:30 or so, but listen to a minute or two before that for context.

The fellow speaking is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Mougayar

Not an impressive Wikipedia entry, very skimpy. Is he just blowing smoke or hot air? Exagerrating from sloppiness? Who IS this guy?

In the footnotes of the Wikipedia entry Vitalik Buterin is named. In what capacity?

William Mougayar wrote the book. VB wrote the foreward to the book. I don't think W. Mougayar is making up stories about this.

Blockchain Basics is probably the best high level overall business blockchain book, which focuses on proof of work mostly.


Blockchain Revolution is a good use case book. Not technical, but gets a little sci-fi with how blockchain may be used in the future.


But if you want technical, the best I've found is Mastering Bitcoin.


Business Blockchain was pretty good and gave me ideas for a couple extra slides for my Blockchain 101 presentations throughout my company.


But Book of Satoshi was probably my favorite read. It was great to get a slight history of bitcoin and see some of Satoshi's views from his perspective.

“The Business Blockchain: Promise, Practice, and Application of the Next Internet Technology”, by William Mougayar:

It's quite high level but The Business Blockchain was a good read/listen (I'm an audiobook guy)...
