Description
In The Bitcoin Standard, economist Saifedean Ammous guides the reader through the fascinating history of various forms of money. He explores what gave these different technologies their monetary status and how they lost it, what this teaches us about the desirable properties of money, and how Bitcoin attempts to fulfill these.
Ammous explains the economic, social, cultural, and political advantages of sound money and contrasts these with our current monetary system. In doing so, a knowledgeable debate arises about the meaningful role Bitcoin could play in the future of the global economy. Instead of attributing it the role of a currency for criminals or a cheap payment network for the masses, this book describes Bitcoin as an emerging decentralized, politically neutral, and free market alternative to national central banks. An alternative that could potentially have enormous implications for the freedom and prosperity of every individual.
For anyone looking to gain a clear understanding of this new digital money, The Bitcoin Standard is an essential foundation.
