Decentralized: Blockchain and the Future Web: An Introductory Guide

By Todd J. Finch

The Blockchain has taken over many people's interests of late especially with regards to the rise in cryptocurrencies creating overnight wealth for many. However, although this exciting technology has given us our first decentralized currency, that was just the beginning. Centralized web platforms give us convenient services which most of us cannot live without. E-mail, texting, video calling, and social media services are all mostly made available to us for free through these service providers. However, these services have been faced with problems that have far reaching consequences for their subscribers. Data breaches have made headlines even for companies with the most rigorous privacy policies, and yet, users remain powerless because they deeply rely on these services and often without alternatives. This book is an introductory guide into the topic of the decentralized web in which you will learn about the rise of the centralized web, its challenges, and the negative impact that centralized platforms have had on society. You will also learn how the blockchain offers us an alternative to the centralized web platform services, and many more exciting features of the blockchain technology and the decentralized web.
