<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The easiest way into the world of blockchain, cryptocurrency, decentralization, bitcoin, icos, and co: Have you ever asked yourself what a cryptocurrency, a blockchain, or Bitcoin is? How about the word "decentralization?" <p>You might have heard that "these things are coming" and "will take over the world." No matter if you have or haven't, "they" are right-these things are coming. And "these things" will play just <strong>as important a role as the internet</strong> has for the past 20 years.</p><p> You know who "won" with the internet? The people who started preparing for it at the beginning, using it personally or for their business before others did.</p><p>With this <strong>new technology called blockchain</strong>, a similar window of opportunity has started to open.</p><p>If you have no clue what a blockchain, a cryptocurrency, or Bitcoin is, don't worry-most of the population doesn't.</p><p>One of the main challenges for anyone trying to get familiar with these topics is the question of "<strong>Where should I start?</strong>" This is exactly what prompted me to write this book.</p><p>In the simplest way possible, I will explain all the aforementioned points so even a 10-year-old could understand them. At the same time, I will reference the details on a technical level to give you both the large scale and the detailed picture. Explaining something to a 10-year-old is in no way a commentary on anyone's intelligence. I'm just following Albert Einstein's advice: "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."</p><p>My ultimate goal is to <strong>make people all around the world #CRYPTOFIT</strong>. I.E fit for this new wave of decentralization and blockchain.</p><p><strong>10 things you will learn in this book that will blow your mind: </strong></p><ol><li>What does "backed by gold" actually mean?</li><li>Will cryptocurrencies replace fiat currencies?</li><li>Can an internet outage destroy cryptocurrencies?</li><li>Does mining really create cryptocurrencies?

(Hint: Not the best one!)</li><li>Can you lose a coin? (Hint: You can NOT)</li></ol><p>Enjoy the read - Yours, Dr. Julian Hosp</p><p><strong>An overview of the areas covered in the book: </strong></p><ol><li>FROM GOLD TO CRYPTO</li><li>BLOCKCHAIN AND CRYPTOCURRENCY BASICS</li><li>PRIVATE KEYS AND PUBLIC ADDRESSES</li><li>MINING</li><li>HOW ARE CRYPTOCURRENCIES CREATED?</li><li>WALLETS</li><li>BLOCKCHAIN FORKS AND ATTACKS</li><li>DESTROYING A CRYPTOCURRENCY?</li><li>PRIVACY, ANONYMITY, AND TRANSPARENCY</li><li>ALTCOINS AND BITCOIN</li><li>CRYPTO-INVESTING</li><li>THE FUTURE OF CRYPTOCURRENCIES</li></ol><p>BONUS CHAPTER: INITIAL COIN OFFERINGs (ICOs)</p>
