Blockchain Bible: Foundations and Fundamentals of Blockchain

in #blockchain7 years ago

This post is Part 1 of a new series I call the Blockchain Bible. In this multi-part series, I have curated some of the best articles on blockchain and arranged them in multiple digestible chunks of information.

The most important part of understanding any subject is to get a clear understanding of the fundamentals.
In this Part 1, these articles, videos, and courses will give you a clear understanding of blockchain technology at the 10,000 foot level. With this high-level, macro view, you will see how each piece fits in the system.

Upon completion of this Part 1, you will know more than 99% of the people walking around the street.

Now, let’s get started.

Please go through each article in order. They are presented in a way that each one builds upon the previous, each block in the chain grows your knowledge, and in the end, you’ll have a great understanding of the basics of blockchain.
