The Bitcoin Standard - Paperback

The decentralized alternative to the central banking system

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 again, what this teaches us about the desirable properties of money, and how Bitcoin attempts to fulfill them.

Ammous explains the economic, social, cultural, and political benefits of sound money and contrasts them with our current monetary system. This creates an expert debate about the significant role Bitcoin could play in the future of the global economy. Instead of attributing to it the role of a currency for criminals or an inexpensive 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 who wants a clear picture of this new digital money, The Bitcoin Standard is an indispensable foundation.
