The following is a curated list of articles on the blockchain. It intentionally avoids an emphasis on articles about Bitcoin since Brett Scott has already compiled an excellent list on the topic. Instead we have aimed to pick out articles that take as their explicit concern the blockchain as a technology rather than the cryptocurrency aspect of Bitcoin. Coding Value maintains two shared Zotero libraries that are free for anyone to use: (1) Bitcoin and (2) General.
