Publisher's Summary

While many books explain the how of bitcoin, The Internet of Money delves into the why of bitcoin. Acclaimed information-security expert and author of Mastering Bitcoin, Andreas M. Antonopoulos examines and contextualizes the significance of bitcoin through a series of essays spanning the exhilarating maturation of this technology.

Bitcoin, a technological breakthrough quietly introduced to the world in 2008, is transforming much more than finance. Bitcoin is disrupting antiquated industries to bring financial independence to billions worldwide. In this book, Andreas explains why bitcoin is a financial and technological evolution with potential far exceeding the label "digital currency."

Andreas goes beyond exploring the technical functioning of the bitcoin network by illuminating bitcoin's philosophical, social, and historical implications. As the Internet has essentially transformed how people around the world interact and has permanently impacted our lives in ways we never could have imagined, bitcoin - the Internet of money - is fundamentally changing our approach to solving social, political, and economic problems through decentralized technology.

Brilliant introduction to the Bitcoin technology!

Thoroughly enjoyed the audiobook version! Really helped me understand Bitcoin as a technology rather than the general cryptocurrency definition we've all come to relate it with. Definitely recommend the listen.

Profound

An easy read/listen with a profound revelation of the future (arguably present) of money.

Couldn’t put it down until I’d finished it in a few days.

A MUST READ. DO IT NOW. GET TO THE CHOPPER.

This book will make you understand BitCoin technology on a while new level. It is the most concise and easy to digest explanation I have ever heard. If you don't read this book, you are an idiot. Because without the information in this book, you are stupid.

Excellent introduction to the world of Bitcoin

Found all speeches really interesting. Would have liked to here Andreas narrate however the female was good.

Too a 2021 listen would be interesting to listen to a more current update of what has evolved. However this audio book did a great job at explaining the fundamentals

Great collection of talks on bitcoin.

Great analogies, good macro perspective on what is bitcoin. Fight for your personal sovereignty! viva la libertà! Our current banking system originated from a man with a business model who took his idea to our governments. That model was to give govts a computerised method to track and trace every citizen by forcing wages to be paid directly through banks instead of handing an envelope to each employee with their hrs worked and their earnings inside it. This business model ensured that workers income could be traced and that the banks got to use your money before you did. It's a business model that has given it's CEOs a false sense of God like power. There will always be rise and fall of power and it is a pleasure to be living at a time in history to see that change of power. Thank you Satoshi Nakamoto ❤

Simply Geniussssss

Andreas is my idol, people need to heed his advice and create better design metaphors to help explain this whole concept of BTC to new people.

Really good

GREAT. Would have loved it even more if Andreas was the reader instead of Stephanie as he is a great speaker and you can feel his energy.

great crypto intro

he's a good author to introduce the topic. sometimes it can be repetitive. Also they didn't really need to put in the thank you at the end of each talk. great content overall
