If terms like blockchain, Bitcoin, Ethereum, ICOs, utility tokens, transaction blocks, consensus, smart contracts, hashing, mining, and forks mean nothing to you, beware! These terms are the building blocks of a technological revolution in the making. And the revolution is taking place closer to the lawyer than it seems. Blockchain for Lawyers will demystify the subject and provide conceptual and analytical tools for distinguishing the real from the hype.
