Admirably clear and judicious … If the word ‘blockchain’ makes you
want to call a plumber, or you think Satoshi is some kind of raw
fish, you need to read Cryptocurrency today. If you're already a
bit-convert, you'll still learn a lot
*Niall Ferguson, author of The Ascent of Money*
Invaluable ... a fascinating field guide to the phenomenon in which
three of the most powerful forces shaping our world today meet -
the reform of finance, technological innovation, and the rejection
of traditional politics
*Felix Martin, author of Money: the Unauthorised Biography*
Fascinating... Vigna and Casey are cautious, though enthusiastic
guides to this strange new world... they know how to dig beneath
the surface and they also know how to write. The book is full of
fascinating stories, from the origins of money... to the Silk Road
bust... Somewhere in this world of blockchains and cryptocurrencies
lies the seed of the next online revolution- one that brings
radical decentralization, autonomous organisations, a cull of
brokers and fixers, a new constraint on government and fiat
currencies, and a supercharge to the sharing economy
*The Times*
Engaging, lucid, and thought-provoking … I can think of no better
guide to what the future holds
*Eswar Prasad, author of The Dollar Trap*
Not only demystifies and explains bitcoin, but shows where it fits
into the cultural zeitgeist and where it's pointed, and what that
may mean for our financial system
*John Mauldin, New York Times bestselling author*
Anyone who views bitcoin as a voodoo concept must read this totally
comprehensible narrative outlining the history of money and how
bitcoin might become a new and better currency. For those confused
by Bitcoin concepts this clearheaded and readable book sets forth
credible reasons why Bitcoin might or might not be an evolving
economic miracle
