In this prominent book, explore why using Bitcoin, a digital, decentralized, peer to peer money with a fixed, immutable and programmatic supply is an essential prerequisite for having free and open societies.
This Bitcoin book was written with the intent of providing an enjoyable and easy to read introduction into Bitcoin and why it was created. This book is intentionally short and the author has made it an imperative to eliminate any and all waffle where possible, to save the readers time and get to the point. The second main objective of the book is to highlight why Bitcoin is money and why it is important to understand what exactly money is and the history of money itself, which loops back to Bitcoin, hopefully providing the reader with an understanding of why sacrificing decentralisation or security for speed or utility is none negotiable for a base layer money.
The author hopes to be able to spark a light for newcomers to Bitcoin, money and economics in general. Sadly, there is no substitute for work, you either have to do the work for yourself or you have to trust someone else that has. The author hopes that by reading this book, enough of a curiosity will have been sparked to lead the reader to ask some deeper questions and to pursue their own journey of critical thought and verify for themselves what is true and what is not.
The author views Bitcoin as humanities only shot at separating money and state. Therefore, the most important tool for freeing humanity. Due to these beliefs, all proceeds from this book will be either donated to Bitcoin accepting charities or distributed directly to deserving indivduals. The authors intent is to help others by sharing his knowledge, not to monetize on the coattails of #Bitcoin.
