Attack of the 50 Foot Blockchain; Bitcoin, Blockchain, Ethereum & Smart Contracts is a 2017 non-fiction book by David Gerard.[1] It focuses on the subject of blockchain technology and gives a skeptical view on the cryptocurrency industry.[2] It was one of the first published books to present the blockchain phenomena in a critical way.[3] The book covers the topic of Bitcoin, using the Mt. Gox exchange and Silk Road darknet marketplace as case studies.[4] It examines the issues with smart contracts.[5] And it finishes with a study of the applications of blockchain technology in the music industry.[6]
The BBC's technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones described it as "a very convincing takedown of the whole [cryptocurrency] phenomenon".[7] And it was described as "a sober riposte to all the upbeat forecasts about cryptocurrency" by Sue Halpern, of The New York Review of Books.[8]
It is considered an authority on the subjects of blockchain applications,[9] blockchain use cases,[10] and the feasibility of the blockchain.[11]
