Review : The new book from one of TIME's 2021 most influential people Author was in Forbes 30 Under 30 Hall of Fame "A crucial contribution to development of a new technology that will impact all of our lives.” –Laura Shin, host of the Unchained podcast and author of The Cryptopians: Idealism, Greed, Lies, and the Making of the First Big Cryptocurrency Craze “Vitalik Buterin is one of the most influential creators of our generation....Like most of his work, it is sure to become a must-read.”–Camila Russo, author of The Infinite Machine , founder of The Defiant The ideas behind Ethereum in the words of its founder, describing a radical vision for more than a digital currency—reinventing organizations, economics, and democracy itself in the age of the internet. When he was only nineteen years old, in late 2013, Vitalik Buterin published a visionary paper outlining the ideas behind what would become Ethereum. He proposed to take what Bitcoin did for currency—replace government and corporate power with power shared among users—and apply it to everyday apps, organizations, and society as a whole. Now, less than a decade later, Ethereum is the second-most-valuable cryptocurrency and serves as the foundation for the weird new world of NFT artworks, virtual real estate in the metaverse, and decentralized autonomous organizations. The essays in Proof of Stake have guided Ethereum’s community of radicals and builders. Here for the first time they are collected from across the internet for new readers. They reveal Buterin as a lively, creative thinker, relentlessly curious and adventuresome in exploring the consequences of his invention. His writing stands in contrast to the hype that so often accompanies crypto in the public imagination. He presents it instead as a fascinating set of social, economic, and political possibilities, opening a window into a conversation that far more of us could be having. Media scholar Nathan Schneider provides introductions and notes. Read more

 

Review : *Note – There were some formatting errors in the digital/Kindle version on release day when this book came out, but as of now on September 28th, 2022 it looks like it has been fixed. It looks fine now! This book is just a collection of essays from Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin, written from 2014 to 2022. The co-author indicates that some of the essays were slightly modified in order to fit the flow of a book format, but most of them are largely unchanged. Part 1 – “Premining” Contains six essays from January 2014 – April 2015 Part 2 – “Proof of Work” Contains eight essays from July 2016 – December 2019 Part 3 – “Proof of Stake” -Contains nine essays from January 2020 – January 2022 These essays cover many topics related to blockchain technologies and Ethereum specifically, and they give the reader some insight into Buterin’s thought process; as he first developed Ethereum and later envisioned changes to the technology. Buterin’s ideas were revolutionary, and he is actually a very good writer; so he is able to communicate these concepts well. I enjoyed reading this book, even though I had read some of this content before.
