Alex Preukschat coordinates this collective work by 50+ experts analysing blockchain technology's impact across industries: finance, logistics, health, property, voting, and more. A balanced view — neither pure hype nor total scepticism — of blockchain's real potential beyond cryptocurrencies, covering public, private, and consortium blockchains.
In 2017, Alex Preukschat coordinated what was at the time the most ambitious collective analysis of blockchain in Spanish: more than fifty experts from Spain and Latin America examine the technology's impact across sectors ranging from finance and logistics to healthcare, energy, and governance. The thesis that structures the book is that blockchain represents a distributed trust protocol layer with the potential to reconfigure how economic systems record, verify, and transfer value — the digital equivalent of 15th-century double-entry bookkeeping. The work is valuable for its thematic breadth and the diversity of perspectives it gathers, from technical analysis to legal and philosophical reflection. The structural critique is inevitable: the collective format generates uneven quality between chapters, and the enthusiasm of 2017 — at the peak of the ICO boom — colours some analyses with an optimism that subsequent ecosystem developments have qualified or refuted. As a panoramic view of the blockchain debate in the Spanish-speaking world at a specific historical moment, however, the book retains its value as a reference document.
Useful for professionals across different sectors who want to explore potential blockchain applications in their industry; not the most efficient entry point for those seeking to understand blockchain at a technical or protocol level.
Fact«Blockchain: La revolución industrial de Internet» was published in 2017 by Grupo Planeta and became the best-selling blockchain reference book in Spanish, with multiple print runs in Spain and Latin America.
