The Age of Cryptocurrency: How Bitcoin and the Blockchain Are Challenging the Global Economic Order | |
Bitcoin became a buzzword overnight. A cyber-enigma with an enthusiastic following, it pops up in headlines and fuels endless media debate. You can apparently use it to buy anything from coffee to cars, yet few people seem to truly understand what it is. This raises the question: Why should anyone care about bitcoin?
In The Age of Cryptocurrency, Wall Street journalists Paul Vigna and Michael J. Casey deliver the definitive answer to this question. Cybermoney is poised to launch a revolution, one that could reinvent traditional financial and social structures while bringing the world's billions of "unbanked" individuals into a new global economy. Cryptocurrency holds the promise of a financial system without a middleman, one owned by the people who use it and one safeguarded from the devastation of a 2008-type crash.
But bitcoin, the most famous of the cybermonies, carries a reputation for instability, wild fluctuation, and illicit business; some fear it has the power to eliminate jobs and to upend the concept of a nation-state. It implies, above all, monumental and wide-reaching change―for better and for worse. But it is here to stay, and you ignore it at your peril.
Vigna and Casey demystify cryptocurrency―its origins, its function, and what you need to know to navigate a cyber-economy. The digital currency world will look very different from the paper currency world; The Age of Cryptocurrency will teach you how to be ready.

国内已经有中译本，多数比特币或区块链的从业者知道但不看重这书，主要是作者没有明确提出未来的方向，只是列举几个好或坏的方面，草根味道比较大，不像某些明星那样张扬，也没具体技术方案，但应该给本书有一席之地
I rarely write book reviews but felt compelled to say job well done on this one. Both authors certainly did their homework and uncovered hundreds of interesting facts I never realized about the formation and traction fueling bitcoin and related blockchain technologies. Its a fun read and somehow personalized by narrative around different key characters in the blockchain drama. I get the feeling we'll be hearing a lot about blockchain in the years to come and am hopeful it can unlock banking to the unbanked of the world and do away with some archaic industries such as escrow, title companies and better still, less corruption of government. There are of course many details to be worked out with blockchain as the authors point out, but I left the book feeling hopeful that so much innovation is happening so quickly that there is surely to be many enlightened victories (and not just people using blockchain tech for illegal activity).
The combination of historical background information coupled with the contemporary state of the blockchain and bitcoin world is incredible. I loved this book! It's extremely well researched and written in a way most anyone can understand. Hard to believe we won't all be using some form of digital currency on a blockchain system in the near future - opportunities abound!
