Book tips - Blockchain
Blockchain
With the current hype surrounding the soaring price of Bitcoin and the recent reports about the crash of the digital currency, blockchain has made it into the daily newspapers and popular media. However, although the topic is now on everyone's lips, the technical context remains hidden from many readers. Even tech-savvy users find it difficult to grasp the complexity of the topic. Reason enough for E-3 Magazine to tackle the topic in a joint cover story together with an expert from the field and to highlight the opportunities and challenges for the SAP community (see pages 42 to 51 in this issue). In the book tips section, you will also find plenty of reading material that goes far beyond bitcoins and the SAP sector and highlights the enormous future potential of blockchain. The changes that the new technology will have on the economy, society and people's everyday lives are also highlighted and critically scrutinized.

Blockchain basics
Blockchain is often described as the greatest invention since the advent of the internet, as it enables a wide range of transactions to be carried out: from money transfers and borrowing to insurance services and document management - all without the risk of fraud and without institutions such as authorities, banks and insurance companies. This book is aimed at anyone who wants to find out more about blockchain technology in general.
Bitcoins and other decentralized transaction systems
The expectations are high: it is about the hope of significant efficiency gains and application scenarios on an economic and business level. The author provides the reader with a comprehensive guide to the complex present and possible future of cryptocurrency technologies with their advantages and disadvantages.
Blockchain for dummies
Blockchain promises to revolutionize financial transactions in particular and IT security in general. Subsequent data manipulation is impossible. The book answers questions about what blockchain is, how it works and what potential it has. Tiana Laurence is Chief Marketing Officer at Factom, which develops blockchain-based solutions for secure financial transactions.
Blockchain short & sweet
Blockchain is not easy to understand. This book provides a basic understanding. After an explanation of the cryptographic basics, the structure of a blockchain protocol is explained. Starting with a protocol that anyone who has ever used e-banking will be familiar with, problems are identified and solved and new protocols are developed - all the way to the blockchain.
The digital
How is economic added value created under capitalism? And how should it be redistributed? These were the central questions that Karl Marx answered in a radical way at the transition to industrial capitalism in "Das Kapital". Viktor Mayer-Schönberger and Thomas Ramge answer the same questions anew at the transition to global data capitalism.
