Why You Can Trust CNET Someone wrote a kids' book to explain bitcoin and blockchain
Welcome to 2018 and a children's book that teaches us how to find our place in the world... using the blockchain.
At around 7 p.m. every night you can catch me reading bedtime stories for my two children. On current rotation: Dave's Cave, a weird Avengers book and a million bedtime stories about dinosaurs.
But those books can go straight in the trash because finally -- finally -- someone has written a children's story about the blockchain .
Meet Blocky.
Blocky is the main character in A Place in the Blockchain, a children's story designed to explain blockchain and bitcoin technology to kids. It's the creation of Brett Biery, a software developer and blockchain enthusiast.
You can download it for free on Amazon.
From the book's Amazon page:
A Place in the Blockchain is a picture book for children about a character named "Blocky" struggling to find it's place in the blockchain. Blocky's adventure to discover his place in the blockchain covers many of the same emotions childrens will experience as they deal with their own adventures of fitting in at school and with friends. In the end Blocky is able to find his place.
According to Biery's Reddit post A Place in the Blockchain is meant to be "a fun tribute to the technology" that helps explain blockchain technology using words children will understand.
