Book Description
In the next decade Bitcoin will have passed through adolescence and reached adulthood. This book tells the fascinating journey of Bitcoin and why it could be the best investment opportunity of your life. You'll learn about Bitcoin's role in the history of money and why it's considered "good money" by many financial advisors, including the author, who has spent a decade and a half in the investment business. Bitcoin's value has grown exponentially over multiple boom and bust cycles spanning more than a decade. If Bitcoin reaches its potential, its value could rise by ten or even 100 times its current price. Bitcoin, like Alibaba, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Netflix, Microsoft, and Tencent, relies on the network effect (how many others are using it). But the market for money is much greater than the combined market values of the Internet giants.This book will help you understand why Bitcoin is the world's solution for the problem of money, the role of money in our economy, the current state of debt, and the particular intricacies of Bitcoin.

Book Description
Falling down the Bitcoin rabbit hole is a strange experience. Like many others, I feel like I have learned more in the last couple of years studying Bitcoin than I have during two decades of formal education. The following lessons are a distillation of what I've learned. First published as an article series titled "What I've Learned From Bitcoin," what follows can be seen as a third edition of the original series. Like Bitcoin, these lessons aren't a static thing. I plan to work on them periodically, releasing updated versions and additional material in the future.Bitcoin is an inexhaustible teacher, which is why I do not claim that these lessons are all-encompassing or complete. They are a reflection of my personal journey down the rabbit hole. There are many more lessons to be learned, and every person will learn something different from entering the world of Bitcoin. I hope that you will find these lessons useful and that the process of learning them by reading won't be as arduous and painful as learning them firsthand.

Book Description
Money is a fact of everyday life. We earn it, spend it and save it. We're tempted to worship it and to trust it to provide for our needs. Envy, misery, and destruction are found wherever money is worshiped. Why does this happen? Why has money become the way it is? And can money be moral? In Thank God for Bitcoin, we explore the ways in which the current monetary system is broken and what can be done to fix it. We explore money's creation, its corruption and its potential redemption. We look at how Bitcoin can redeem the ills of our corrupt monetary system and how the ongoing transition to sound money is a source of hope for a broken world.

WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER From the cofounder of the longest-running Bitcoin exchange comes a compelling argument for how this digital currency will transform the global economy—and how it can work for you. 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, most successful 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. Invest in the promise of Bitcoin today.
