About this audiobook
Blockchain has become one of the most discussed and least understood technologies of the past decade. The term gets thrown around in contexts ranging from cryptocurrency to supply chains to voting systems, often with more enthusiasm than clarity. This volume strips away the hype and explains what a blockchain actually is, how it works at a technical level, what problems it genuinely solves, and where its limitations lie.
