The Business blockchain by William Mougayar is a good primer for understanding the potential impact of the block chain and a fantastic insight into the future applications of blockchain technology.
The intro, by Ethereum's founder, Vitalik Buterin, did a very good job at setting the picture up of how the blockchain is an inevitable byproduct of the times, created by a need for trust. William Mougayar does not go into specific short term ways of teaching you how to create value via the blockchain as much as lay a framework how we will use the blockchain in ways none of us are even imagining today.
Blockchains are new technology layers that rewire the Internet and threaten to side-step older legacy constructs and centrally served businesses. At its core, a blockchain injects trust into the network, cutting off some intermediaries from serving that function and creatively disrupting how they operate. Metaphorically, blockchains are the ultimate non-stop computers. Once launched, they never go down, and offer an incredible amount of resiliency, making them dependable and attractive for running a new generation of decentralized services and software applications.
The Business Blockchain charts new territory in advancing our understanding of the blockchain by unpacking its elements like no other before. William Mougayar anticipates a future that consists of thousands, if not millions of blockchains that will enable not only frictionless value exchange, but also a new flow of value, redefining roles, relationships, power, and governance. In this book, Mougayar makes two other strategic assertions. First, the blockchain has polymorphic characteristics; its application will result in a multiplicity of effects. Second, we shouldn't ask ourselves what problems the blockchain solves, because that gives us a narrow view on its potential. Rather, we should imagine new opportunities, and tackle even more ambitious problems that cross organizational, regulatory and mental boundaries.
Drawing on 34 years of technology industry experience as an executive, analyst, consultant, entrepreneur, startup mentor, author, blogger, educator, thought leader, and investor, William Mougayar describes a future that is influenced by fundamental shifts brought by blockchain technology as the catalyst for change. William Mougayar has been described as the most sophisticated blockchain business thinker. He is a blockchain industry insider whose work has already shaped and influenced the understanding of blockchain for people around the world via his generous blogging and rigorous research insights. He is a direct participant in the crypto-technology market, working alongside startups, entrepreneurs, pioneers, leaders, innovators, creators, enterprise executives, and practitioners; in addition to being an investor, advisor, and board member in some of the leading organizations in this space, such as the Ethereum Foundation, OpenBazaar, and Coin Center.

Consensus algorithms enable network participants to agree on the contents of a blockchain in a distributed and trust-less manner. I’ve listed in the past few months all of them at tokens-economy.gitbook.io/consensus/ and thought it will be cool also to produce an Infographics The PNG (4528 x 2894 px, 2.5MB) can be downloaded here and the PDF version (280kb) with clickable consensus links here …
Usually, a percentage of the tokens is sold to ICO participants and a percentage kept for the company’s needs. The token distribution and allocation of the token is usually a chapter in the future company whitepaper. A pie chart displays how and to whom tokens will be allocated. But how much tokens are allocated (amount) and what are they used for? how much token should I spend for advisor? is 15% of all tokens too much for founder? How many …

ICO webpage has been added Text in bubble scale now properly and are always centered …
The innovation speed in Blockchain landscape is just breathtaking and being able to (or to be honest trying to...) follow all these rapid changes is a chance for all software engineers. At the core of the Blockchain disruption are consensus algorithm: Consensus algorithms enable network participants to agree on the contents of a blockchain in a distributed and trust-less manner. And the consensus algorithm plays a crucial role in maintaining the safety and efficiency of blockchain. Using the right algorithm may bring a significant increase to the …
