Part 5

With all our knowledge so far, we have a pretty good understanding of Bitcoin high level motivations and design, as well as low level mechanics.

So now with our knowledge of the ins and outs of Bitcoin… let’s destroy it 🙂 Looking from a game theoretical perspective, we’ll formulate attacks and other malicious behavior that can potentially destroy Bitcoin.

One note is that although we have been focusing primarily on Bitcoin so far, now we’re starting to build an understanding of not just Bitcoin, but cryptocurrencies and blockchain in general.

This module is called “How to Destroy Bitcoin: Game Theory and Attacks” but you can understand that the game theoretical approach and analysis of attack vectors applies to all proof-of-work blockchains — not just Bitcoin.
