Bitcoin and the Monetary Revolution
If you want to seriously understand Bitcoin and why it is triggering a monetary revolution, this is where you start. Over the past decade, prominent economists, media outlets, and financial experts have dismissed Bitcoin while it has grown exponentially — a phenomenon strikingly similar to the early days of the internet. Revolutionary technologies are always accompanied by controversy.
To understand Bitcoin, one should first answer the following questions:
- What does it mean when we say money must be "backed" by something?
- Why do we need to collect taxes if we can simply print money?
- Why are financial institutions repeatedly bailed out?
- Why have education, healthcare, and rent become so expensive?
- Why does wealth inequality keep growing even as governments spend more on social programmes?
Bitcoin is the alternative to our current financial system, from which few profit at the expense of many. To understand why Bitcoin is the answer, you need to know how this revolutionary technology works. This book explains it at a technical level in precise yet accessible language.
