Now that you have reached the end of this book, what will you do with
|
|
|
|
|
the knowledge you have gained? Millions of people, perhaps billions,
|
|
|
|
|
know the name "Bitcoin", but only a small percentage of them know as
|
|
|
|
|
much about how Bitcoin works as you now do. That knowledge is precious.
|
|
|
|
|
Even more precious are the people, such as yourself, who are so
|
|
|
|
|
interested in Bitcoin that you are willing to read several hundred pages
|
|
|
|
|
about it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you haven't already begun doing so, please consider contributing to
|
|
|
|
|
Bitcoin in some way. You can run a full node to validate the Bitcoin
|
|
|
|
|
payments you receive, build applications that make it easier for other
|
|
|
|
|
people to use Bitcoin, or help educate other people about Bitcoin and
|
|
|
|
|
its potential. You can even take the rare step of contributing to open
|
|
|
|
|
source Bitcoin infrastructure software, such as Bitcoin Core, carefully
|
|
|
|
|
working with a small number of incredibly smart people to build tools
|
|
|
|
|
that no one will ever pay for but that billions may one day depend upon.

Whatever your Bitcoin journey, we thank you for making _Mastering

|
|

Bitcoin_ a part of it.
