Summary

We hope you have enjoyed this amazing journey through the world of blockchain. Our mission with creating this book was to try and increase awareness and understanding of blockchain technology, and its useful applications, benefits, and challenges. This new distributed computing technology represents an exciting innovation, holds a lot of potential, and shouldn't be dismissed easily due to the boom and bust cycle of publicly traded cryptoassets. It is also impossible to cover everything going on there right now. Blockchain is at a very early stage, and at the same time is evolving so quickly that new, interesting technological and business developments come up almost every day. We believe that blockchain technology is here to stay and expect to see some new major breakthroughs soon.

May Satoshi and Vitalik be with you! Thanks for sticking with us to the end!
