While it does explain some technical concepts and more importantly some of the big ideas in the Blockchain space, it does it while seeming to convey very little information. Incredibly bloated, it felt like the same thing was said every 5 pages about the brilliance of bitcoin from someone running a bitcoin startup. I would have preferred some more in depth approaches to how some of these things could be achieved and how they work. Blockchain voting, for example, is a very interesting use case but incredibly lacking in details. Iot and smart contracting is well explained but no discussion is given to the practical limitations of every piece of your car needing to have an internet connection. The book was written before NFTs really boomed so their omission is fair enough. Overall I feel my understanding of Blockchain has only been slightly improved by this book. Useful if you need to understand why your company is pivoting to Blockchain but you don't actually need to know anything specific about the Blockchain itself.
