Since it is a time of pandemic and only isolation, it is nice to read books. And just at this time when the pandemic started, I became interested in cryptocurrencies.I didn't know anything, so I started educating myself. One of the books I read was "Digital Gold" - Nathaniel Popper.The book is written in a light tone and is very readable. It could be especially interesting for beginners because it contains descriptions and details of the lives of prominent individuals from the world of cryptocurrencies, but also simple explanations.
Bitcoin and a hitherto untold story about weirdos and millionaires who change the face of money.
How money works, who benefits from it and how it could all look like in the future.
Bitcoin, a revolutionary digital currency and financial technology, represents the beginning of a global social movement of utopian aspirations. The idea of a new currency, maintained by personal computers around the world, has been the subject of numerous jokes, but that has not stopped it from growing into technology worth billions of dollars, a technology with many followers, which is considered the most important new invention since the creation of the Internet.Bitcoin fans, from Beijing to Buenos Aires, see in it the possibility of a financial system without the influence of government or banks, a new global currency of the digital era. Digital Gold is an unusual story about a group invention, a story about people who created bitcoin, including a Finnish student, an Argentine millionaire, a Chinese entrepreneur, Tyler and Cameron Winklevos, the mysterious creator of bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto.
