making decisions while making corporate payments. We are basing our research using grounded theory, and focus on the certainty of using cryptocurrencies.
As the editor, writer and the co-author of all chapters of this book, I am proud to present this book to the readers. I would like to thank all the reviewers that peer-reviewed all the chapters in this book. I also would like to thank the administration and editorial support staff of World Scientific Publishing who have ably supported me in getting this book to press and publication. And finally, I would like to humbly thank all the authors and co-authors who submitted their research articles as chapters to this book. Without your submission, your tireless efforts and contribution, we would not have this book.
Publication of any book is not easy. Publication of a new book on a relatively new technology with a reputable publisher is even harder. The first step is to find a publisher that is willing to publish such a book. Given the dynamics of academic publishing today, disruptive transformation of academic publishing by the Internet, delivery and access of published research papers by PDF downloads, and Open Access academic journal models, many established publishers are now reluctant to publish a new book. This book on Blockchain Technologies, Applications and Cryptocurrencies is indeed privileged to be published by World Scientific Publishing — a publisher that is second to none. Disruptive technologies like blockchains and cryptocurrencies have been seen by many as a passing fad. The publication of this book is proof that they are not a fad but a mainstream disruptive technology.
I hope everyone will appreciate reading the chapters in this book. Additionally, I feel that it will inspire and encourage readers to start their own research on blockchains and cryptocurrencies and submit their articles and chapters to journals and books.
Once again, I take this opportunity to congratulate everyone involved in the writing, review, editing and publication of this book.
Any comments or questions can be emailed to [email protected].
Happy Reading.
