Tokenomics

By: Sean Au, Thomas Power(GBP)

Overview of this book

Tokenomics is the economy of this new world. This is a no-holds-barred, in-depth exploration of the way in which we can participate in the blockchain economy. The reader will learn the basics of bitcoin, blockchains, and tokenomics; what the very first ICO was; and how over a period of 5 years, various projects managed to raise the enormous sums of money they did. The book then provides insights from ICO experts and looks at what the future holds. By comparing the past, current, and future of this technology, the book will inform anyone, whatever motivates their interest. The crypto shift of blockchains, ICOs, and tokens is much more than just buying bitcoins, creating tokens, or raising millions in a minute in an ICO. It is a new paradigm shift from centralized to decentralized, from closed to open, and from opaqueness to transparency. ICOs and the creation of tokens during the craze of 2017 needed a lot of preparation, an understanding of cryptocurrencies and of emerging legal frameworks, but this has spurred a new movement to tokenize the world. The author gives an unbiased, authoritative picture of the current playing field, exploring the token opportunities and provides a unique insight into the developing world of this tokenized economy. This book will nourish hungry minds wanting to grow their knowledge in this fascinating area.

We learned many times how these founders first got into the bitcoin and crypto space, what their projects are about, and how their ICO went. One common theme we saw across these founders was that many were experimenting through the whole process: there were no standards to follow.

We saw how many of these founders believe in the future of tokens and the potential that Tokenomics holds. Some of them have been back through the ICO process since, and many of them continue to invest in the changing shape of the token economy.

Regulation continues to be a huge topic for most of these experts, and there are many views on the best way forwards around regulation...
