by Dominic Frisby (Author)
Bitcoin: The Future of Money? was the first book to tell the incredible story behind Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, and it remains a cryptocurrency book unlike any other.
Author Dominic Frisby doesn't just provide the best explanation of cryptocurrency for beginners but takes readers on a page-turning journey through the anarchic internet subcultures that gave rise to it, meeting many of those who had a front-row seat to a financial revolution.
This is a book of incredible stories from the dramatic birth and rise of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency: from the mailing lists and self-styled punks who drove its development, to the surprising early adopters, like the computer programmer who ended up on the FBI's Most Wanted list and the billion-dollar hedge fund manager who made a colossal bet on the future.
It also provides the most thorough answer to the question of the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin's mysterious inventor.
Does Bitcoin really have the potential to change how the world transacts financially? Or is it just a passing fad, even a major scam? Over 15 years on, these questions are still asked by many - and, in an age of inflation, ever more urgent.
Economic theory book meets whodunnit mystery in this indispensable guide to one of the most divisive innovations of our time. Money books don't come more entertaining or revealing.
