N2  - In 25 concise steps, you will learn the basics of blockchain technology.  No mathematical formulas, program code, or computer science jargon are used.  No previous knowledge in computer science, mathematics, programming, or cryptography is required.  Terminolog is explained through pictures, analogies, and metaphors.  This book bridges the gap that exits between purely technical books about the blockchain and purely business-focused books.  It does so by explaining both the technical concepts that make up the blockchain and their role in business-relevant applications
