Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Saying that many investors were not convinced by cryptocurrencies in their first decade of existence would be an understatement.Originally, author Thomas Jeegers was one of them. He looked into this new virtual money more than once and, each time, decided not to invest. Like many long-term investors, he was looking for fundamentals. Crypto had none - or so he thought. This book details why his perspective on cryptoassets has shifted - and why yours should, too.Recent developments in this field have turned crypto from a speculative financial innovation to a new asset class, one with a new kind of fundamentals that offer real economic value. One that will change finance and investments. One that may be a trigger defining the fourth industrial revolution, the same way steam, electricity, and the Internet were triggers for the first, second, and third industrial revolutions, respectively.Despite what advocates of the traditional financial establishmentlike to claim, cryptoassets were by far the best financial investment of the last decade, even risk-adjusted, and could still be so for the coming one. They should not be overlooked, regardless of one's opinion of them.This book answers the main questions any potential long-term investor in cryptoassets should ask:What are cryptoassets and blockchain technology Why consider cryptoasset investments When is a good time to invest Where should one invest How should one invest Which valuation methods are appropriate Understanding Crypto Fundamentals includes a deep dive into the management of risks specific to cryptoassets, both financial and non-financial, and provides the tools needed for investment success in this new asset class. Upon completing the book, you will have a new perspective on cryptoassets and how you can benefit from them as an investor.Thomas Jeegers is a CFA Charterholder and Financial Risk Manager (FRM), and has earned an MBA from INSEAD as well as multiple blockchain certifications from institutions including INSEAD and Oxford University.

LEGO provides a walk-through of a few projects to build, which are cool, but after building these many people get stuck on 'now what ' This book answers that question by showing the underlying principles required to build their own ideas.This book is a hands-on tour of how machines work with LEGO-there's nothing like building a machine with your own two hands to understand how it works. It includes aspects of software engineering, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering. As parts and associated engineering concepts are presented, they will be shown in their practical use with graphical step-by-step assembly instructions.The concepts conveyed are mostly learned through building examples, with text explanation to reinforce the ideas being learned. Every engineering concept has a building example to go with it, in a quick build of less than 15 assembly steps. At the end of each chapter there's a project to tie the concepts of the chapter together of a little more complexity, involving 15 to 30 steps. These assembly steps are drawn with a computer aided design program that looks like the diagrams that LEGO produces for its products, so readers will be familiar with the look of the assembly directions.What You'll LearnLayout a Word Blocks or Python computer program from scratchSee how LEGO building elements are meant to be assembledManipulate the power source of a rotating shaft from an electric motorUse gears to alter the speed and torque of a power trainChange the motion from a rotating shaft to a desired action Basic mechanisms (turntable, differential, cam, ratchet, etc.) toUse sensors (motion, distance, light, color) to make interactive inventionsIntegrate mechanical, software, and electrical subsystems in a projectWho This Book Is ForThe knowledge presumed in this book is basic familiarity in building with LEGO, having past experience with building a set of moderate complexity of more than a 100 pieces.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -LEGO Mindstorms and SPIKE Prime are great products with vast capabilities, but are often so complex that many people don't know how to use them. LEGO provides a walk-through of a few projects to build, which are cool, but after building these many people get stuck on 'now what ' This book answers that question by showing the underlying principles required to build their own ideas.This book is a hands-on tour of how machines work with LEGO-there's nothing like building a machine with your own two hands to understand how it works. It includes aspects of software engineering, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering. As parts and associated engineering concepts are presented, they will be shown in their practical use with graphical step-by-step assembly instructions.The concepts conveyed are mostly learned through building examples, with text explanation to reinforce the ideas being learned. Every engineering concept has a building example to go with it, in a quick build of less than 15 assembly steps. At the end of each chapter there's a project to tie the concepts of the chapter together of a little more complexity, involving 15 to 30 steps. These assembly steps are drawn with a computer aided design program that looks like the diagrams that LEGO produces for its products, so readers will be familiar with the look of the assembly directions.What You'll LearnLayout a Word Blocks or Python computer program from scratchSee how LEGO building elements are meant to be assembledManipulate the power source of a rotating shaft from an electric motorUse gears to alter the speed and torque of a power trainChange the motion from a rotating shaft to a desired action Basic mechanisms (turntable, differential, cam, ratchet, etc.) toUse sensors (motion, distance, light, color) to make interactive inventionsIntegrate mechanical, software, and electrical subsystems in a projectWho This Book Is ForThe knowledge presumed in this book is basic familiarity in building with LEGO, having past experience with building a set of moderate complexity of more than a 100 pieces.
