NEW books in the NCC Library collection!

Cryptocurrency All-In-One for Dummies by Danial, Kiana.
Call Number: HG 1710 .D35 2022
ISBN: 9781119855804
Publication Date: 2022
Cryptocurrency investing and mining could be a 21st-century gold rush. Just like the gold rush all those years ago, it's best to have a map to the riches and the tools to turn your prospecting into profit. This book offers the amount of insight into the world of cryptocurrency that you'd need a shelf full of books to get otherwise. Want to know how cryptocurrency works? Look inside for information on the basics of blockchain, Bitcoin, and Ethereum. Are you ready to put some money in the market? Check out content on investing in cryptocurrency. Are you feeling really inspired by the prospectors of old? Dig deep into content on setting up a sophisticated computer that 'mines' cryptocurrency. It's all here in one book!
Cryptocurrency Revolution: Finance in the Age of Bitcoin, Blockchains & Tokens by Lewis, Rhian.
Call Number: HG 1710.3 .L498 2021
ISBN: 9781789665703
Publication Date: 2021
For a long time, the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchains was viewed as a niche space of little interest to mainstream business and finance sectors. With J.P. Morgan, Facebook, Walmart, and even some central banks investing in these new technologies, this has undoubtedly changed. This book explains the most important takeaways from the continued growth of digital currencies and blockchains, and explores the transformative possibilities of borderless payments and machine-to-machine transactions. Written in jargon-free and accessible language, this book examines the key value proposition of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and how blockchains could enable banks to become more efficient. It looks at the potential impact of company-backed digital currencies (such as Facebook's Libra), and how governments and regulators around the world are reacting to new innovations.
