Splitting Bits: Understanding Bitcoin and the Blockchain

Splitting Bits takes the Bit World of Bitcoin and the Blockchain and splits it into bite sized pieces for your digestion pleasure. We explain Bitcoin for what it is - a digital currency, not so different from fiat currencies such as the Euro or Yen. Splitting Bits is the natural sequel to Splitting Pennies - Understanding Forex. A new Bit Paradigm has begun and the computer arms race to mine and hash and mint your own coin is important for everyone to understand. Blockchain is the most explosive, potent technology ever which is about to change the world, starting with Wall St. Bitcoin may be a 'fad' but the underlying Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) is the new standard in Currency Trading, Banking, Securities, and new markets yet to be created. Old systems will be renovated and re-invented. Blockchain is spreading faster than a virus around the world where soon a "Kodak Moment" will make businesses obsolete (such as when Smartphones make Kodak irrelevant). If you're feeling as you missed the opportunity to make 500,000% return by not buying some Bitcoin in 2011, now is an even greater opportunity - as we explain in this book. Bitcoin isn't actually going up in price, it's the US Dollar going down - there is a limited supply of Bitcoin, but the supply of US Dollar is unlimited. If you want to integrate Bitcoin for your business, Splitting Bits is your practical guide to simple steps of how you can accept Bitcoin payments and manage the risk of a volatile currency. For traders and investors, we explore the markets as they exist now and what the short term future holds. Splitting Bits has something for everyone, including our own proprietary Better Coin - learn how to make your own Coin logically, algorithmically. Learn how to avoid the fraud, which exists everywhere. Splitting Bits also includes how to guide for Bitcoin mining, and practical information for anyone who is confused, curious, or otherwise wants to improve their Bitcoin knowledge. Of course, we describe many Cryptocurrencies but use Bitcoin as the prime example. Join the Bit Paradigm and buyer beware - you won't think the same about investing after reading.
