Bland not basic

The content of the book was not basic at all unless you have a foundation of current coding techniques. I have a basic knowledge of coding, but my skills are antiquated. I did not follow enough to feel like I came away with a basic understanding of blockchain.

The narrator was monotonous and therefore it was really difficult to understand when there was a transition from one topic to the next. This made a difficult subject even harder to follow.

Lovely

Finally I am listening a book (I have been reading several) that takes hype out and provides a framework to evaluate the value of the blockchain as transformative technology.

Good understanding

The last chapter deals with the technical part; I recommend to see other visual materials to grasp the concept. Lastly, if your level of English is good, you can increase the speed. This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

I appreciate that effort!

This is not a technical treatise on Blockchain. It's a great read (or listen) if you're looking to understanding the potential of the blockchain landscape. It's packed full of interesting tidbits and insights. It was obviously carefully researched and written... and I appreciate that effort!

Love the key ideas

Love the key ideas to focus upon at the end of each chapter, these are gems as in the blockchain asking the right questions about the blockchain is what is needed the most by both business manages and technologists.

wow, really?

I try not to leave negative reviews but this 'book' is basically repeating (and repeating, and repeating..) a subset of what can be found on Wikipedia, but with less clarity. I can't believe audible/amazon allow this to be sold.
