Story
This book covers bitcoin’s blocksize war, which was waged from August 2015 to November 2017. On the surface, the battle was about the amount of data allowed in each bitcoin block, however it exposed much deeper issues, such as who controls bitcoin’s protocol rules. It is not possible to cover every twist and turn in the labyrinthine conflict or all the arguments, but I have provided a chronology of the most significant events. This book explores some of the major characters in the conflict and includes coverage, from both the front lines and behind the scenes.

The IMF and World Bank were created to help countries survive financial crises and to help them develop into prosperous economic actors. But their 75-year track record shows the opposite: their loans and structural adjustment policies have plunged poor countries into impossibly large debt traps and forced the Third World to focus on producing goods for consumption in the West, instead of growing consumption and industry at home.

Alex Gladstein has a lot to say about Bitcoin, human rights, financial privilege, and personal freedom. In Check Your Financial Privilege, he says it, starting with the fact that anyone born into a reserve currency like the euro, yen, or pound has financial privilege over the 89 percent of the world population born into weaker systems. As CSO of the Human Rights Foundation, Gladstein is uniquely positioned to detail the rise of Bitcoin from cypherpunk dream to the real-life Bitcoin stories happening to real people across the globe.

We're all chained to the unforgiving arrow of time. We're born, we live, and we get old. At least, that's what we hope will happen. Then we die. None of us humans are millionaires in terms of hours, yet we sacrifice our most valuable and scarce asset just to stay alive in the hamster's wheel one more day. In pursuit of saving time, Satoshi stumbled upon a discovery of a new, weightless, absolutely scarce element. The showstopper for each and every time thief. Element zero. Bitcoin.

We live in an extraordinary time. Technological advances are happening at a rate faster than our ability to understand them, and in a world that moves faster than we can imagine, we cannot afford to stand still. These advances bring efficiency and abundance - and they are profoundly deflationary. Our economic systems were built for a pre-technology era when labor and capital were inextricably linked - an era that counted on growth and inflation and an era where we made money from inefficiency.

Using gold as an example of this term, he traces the layers of this ancient currency from raw mined material, to gold coins, and finally to bank-issued gold certificates. In a groundbreaking manner, Bhatia offers a similar paradigm for the evolution of digital currencies.

Publisher's Summary
Have you ever wondered about the debate over which cryptocurrency or blockchain project is the best? Whether you are personally in the midst of this raging battle or have never heard of it, Bitcoin vs Altcoins gives a powerful examination of this historic phenomenon.
Too often, we witness pointless insults thrown at the other camp, devoid of sound arguments and constructive discussions. Why is there such a heated argument in one asset class that is not present in others, such as in the stock market?
Does it really matter if other cryptocurrencies exist? How would things be different if Bitcoin had been the sole cryptocurrency around since 2009? The question arises, is bitcoin after all an outdated first draft of the crypto concept, or is it sufficiently resilient to remain the dominant cryptocurrency?
In this book, Phil Champagne, the author of The Book of Satoshi, explores the big picture. Through topics including: gold and silver, real estate, the economy (Proof-of-Debt), consensus mechanisms (Proof-of-Work, Proof-of Stake, and Proof-of Authority), smart contracts, Lightning Network, decentralization, resilience, network effect, and much more, be ready to take an honest look at the whole picture, no matter which side you’re currently on.
A cryptocurrency’s ability to be resilient against manipulation is as strong as its consensus mechanism and its network effect.
Want to learn more about the battle for dominance? Join Phil in this journey, Bitcoin vs Altcoins.
