Synopsis
Discover how Ethereum Classic fits into the wider blockchain revolution in Ethereum Classic, a part of the Colored Coins series by Fouad Sabry. This book unpacks one of the most influential blockchain projects born from ideological commitment to decentralization. It’s a mustread for anyone intrigued by political science through the lens of technological sovereignty and economic freedom. Chapters Brief Overview: 1: Ethereum Classic: Explore the origins, philosophy, and decentralized vision of Ethereum Classic. 2: Solidity: Understand how Ethereum Classic uses Solidity to bring trustless contracts to life. 3: Smart contract: Learn how smart contracts are the backbone of decentralized logic on Ethereum Classic. 4: Decentralized application: Examine how dApps run transparently and immutably on Ethereum Classic. 5: Proof of stake: Analyze the contrast between Ethereum Classic's PoW and other chains adopting PoS. 6: SegWit: Learn about SegWit’s impact and why Ethereum Classic remains resistant to certain upgrades. 7: Cryptocurrency wallet: Discover wallets that support Ethereum Classic and secure digital ownership. 8: Cryptocurrency: Trace the evolution of cryptocurrencies and Ethereum Classic's role in the ecosystem. 9: Nervos Network: Compare Nervos’ layered architecture with Ethereum Classic’s singlelayer approach. 10: Bitcoin Cash: Discover how ideological splits, like that of Bitcoin Cash, parallel Ethereum Classic’s story. 11: Litecoin: See how Litecoin’s innovations and Ethereum Classic’s principles intersect in crypto history. 12: The DAO: Dive into the DAO hack that led to Ethereum Classic’s birth and its significance in blockchain ethics. 13: Decentralized autonomous organization: Explore DAOs and how Ethereum Classic supports their development. 14: Blockchain: Understand blockchain fundamentals and how Ethereum Classic preserves their core values. 15: Gavin Wood: Learn about Gavin Wood’s contributions to Ethereum and the context for Ethereum Classic. 16: Fork (blockchain): Unpack the nature of blockchain forks and Ethereum Classic’s historic split. 17: Monero: Contrast Monero’s privacy focus with Ethereum Classic’s emphasis on immutability. 18: Bitcoin: Trace the influence of Bitcoin’s original values on Ethereum Classic’s uncompromising ethos. 19: Doublespending: Discover how Ethereum Classic protects against doublespending through proofofwork. 20: Ethereum: Explore Ethereum’s path postfork and how it diverged from Ethereum Classic's vision. 21: Vitalik Buterin: Consider Vitalik’s role and the diverging philosophies postDAO between Ethereum and Classic. This book bridges blockchain with political science, offering insight into how decentralized systems challenge traditional institutions. Whether you’re a student, academic, developer, or crypto hobbyist, Ethereum Classic equips you with the knowledge to understand not only how blockchains work—but why they matter.
