Cryptocurrencies simply explained - by Co-Founder Dr. Julian Hosp by Harald Mahrer

The easiest way into the world of blockchain, cryptocurrency, decentralization, bitcoin, icos, and co: Have you ever asked yourself what a cryptocurrency, a blockchain, or Bitcoin is? How about the word decentralization?

You might have heard that these things are coming and will take over the world. No matter if you have or haven't, they are right-these things are coming. And these things will play just as important a role as the internet has for the past 20 years.

You know who won with the internet? The people who started preparing for it at the beginning, using it personally or for their business before others did.

With this new technology called blockchain, a similar window of opportunity has started to open.

If you have no clue what a blockchain, a cryptocurrency, or Bitcoin is, don't worry-most of the population doesn't.

One of the main challenges for anyone trying to get familiar with these topics is the question of Where should I start? This is exactly what prompted me to write this book.

In the simplest way possible, I will explain all the aforementioned points so even a 10-year-old could understand them. At the same time, I will reference the details on a technical level to give you both the large scale and the detailed picture. Explaining something to a 10-year-old is in no way a commentary on anyone's intelligence. I'm just following Albert Einstein's advice: If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

My ultimate goal is to make people all around the world #CRYPTOFIT. I.E fit for this new wave of decentralization and blockchain.

10 things you will learn in this book that will blow your mind:

  1. What does backed by gold actually mean?
  2. Will cryptocurrencies replace fiat currencies?
  3. Can an internet outage destroy cryptocurrencies?
  4. Does mining really create cryptocurrencies? (Hint: It doesn't)
  5. Is a maximum amount of Bitcoin really good for a currency?
  6. How do I get a cryptocurrency account if no one is in charge?
  7. Are cryptocurrencies better than fiat currencies?
  8. Is blockchain the only solution for decentralization?
  9. Which technology will win? (Hint: Not the best one )
  10. Can you lose a coin? (Hint: You can NOT)

Enjoy the read - Yours, Dr. Julian Hosp

Julian Hosp was born on February 3rd 1986. He played as a professional basketball player in the Austrian Bundesliga Level 2 and 1 as a point guard for the Innsbruck Pilots during my early High School years in Innsbruck. From 2003 until 2004 Julian studied in the US at Nashville Christian School to improve his Basketball Skills. After he returned from the US to finish his studies in Austria, he decided to give up on his Basketball career when he realised the opportunities in kitesurfing that were just getting very popular. He became a professional kitesurfer for almost 10 years from 2004 until 2013. For most of his career he was among the Top15 in the world. In 2013 Julian became the author of the bestselling kitesurfing book called Kite-Tricktionary which is used today by most kitesurfing students around the world. During the age of 18 to 25 (from 2004 until 2013) he completed his medical studies at the Medical University of Innsbruck to become a Medical Doctor. He never really pursued this profession but became an entrepreneur and business owner instead. Today he owns several businesses online and offline, and he is living in Hong Kong at present stage. Travelling most of his time for his business ventures he pursues his passion for sports, public speaking and laser-focus drive non stop.
