Bitcoin - The Future Of Money

Before everyone had an opinion on Bitcoin, there was the awkward stage where people were still trying to explain what it actually was.

Bitcoin: The Future of Money? by Dominic Frisby is a lively guide to the strange early world of cryptocurrency: digital coins, mysterious creators, libertarian dreams, financial panic, technological optimism, and the unsettling possibility that money might not need a bank manager after all.

It is part financial history, part tech story, part ideological adventure, and part “hang on, is this genius or madness?” Bitcoin has always had that rare gift of making both sceptics and believers sound equally intense, and this book captures the moment when it was still new enough to feel underground, but serious enough to make people nervous.

There is a pleasing irony in the title. “The future of money?” asks the book, politely adding a question mark just in case. Since then, Bitcoin has been declared dead, revolutionary, useless, inevitable, a bubble, digital gold, and the answer to everything by people who often seem to have just bought some.

This good copy, as sold by Crappy Old Books, is ideal for readers of finance, technology, cryptocurrency, and anyone who enjoys watching the monetary system develop a rebellious teenager.
