Synopsis

A financial revolution is materializing before our eyes. The way individuals, organizations, and governments conduct transactions—from purchasing a book online to acquiring major corporations to delivering billions in financial aid—will look vastly different in the near future. Bitcoin is spearheading this revolution and may be the best investment opportunity of our time, yet most people have yet to understand its promise.

In this book, Bobby C. Lee, one of the earliest pioneers in the cryptocurrency space, debunks myths and dispels fears that surround Bitcoin, arguing that this rational, logical system is superior to traditional monetary systems. He cites signs of Bitcoin's widening acceptance: a growing community of users worldwide and multiple initiatives for investing in and holding bitcoin among major financial services organizations and institutional investors who control trillions in assets.

Lee offers a primer on the best strategies for investing in this digital currency, the value of which will only continue to grow. He discusses the pros and cons, and covers the complicated yet more profitable method of acquiring bitcoin, mining. He offers predictions for the future, including price, trajectory, use, and participation in the larger economy—as well as developments in regulation, technology, business, and society.

Goodreads review by Paige

I can’t exactly put my finger on why I didn’t like this book as much as I was thinking I would, but for whatever reason it just didn’t hit me as hard as I was expecting.

The author is a self-proclaimed Bitcoin evangelist and that viewpoint is front and center in this book. I was hoping for a more objective and informative discussion of the pros and cons. Instead, the author mentions the critiques of Bitcoin but rather than a clear discussion of why the benefits outw......more
