I am learning about investing and the potential of cryptocurrency thanks to influence from my brother (a crypto miner) and my sister (Mindfully Trading). Here’s a review for a book I discovered that I need to share with the world.
My
Review
I
loved reading this book! Being new to cryptocurrency and wanting to learn more,
I found a podcast with Laura Shin and decided to order her book. The
Cryptopians is a comprehensive introduction to the new history of
cryptocurrency, explaining jargon, key people in the industry, and explaining
how this all came about as a movement and how it continues to grow.
I
really think that we all need to read this book if we have children because it
will be relevant to them as they grow up, so we might as well learn about
cryptocurrency too!
About
the Book
In
their short history, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have gone through
booms, busts, and internecine wars, recently reaching a market valuation of
more than $2 trillion. The central promise of crypto endures-vast fortunes made
from decentralized networks not controlled by any single entity and not yet
regulated by many governments.
The
recent growth of crypto would have been all but impossible if not for a
brilliant young man named Vitalik Buterin and his creation: Ethereum. In this
book, Laura Shin takes readers inside the founding of this novel cryptocurrency
network, which enabled users to launch their own new coins, thus creating a new
crypto fever. She introduces readers to larger-than-life characters like
Buterin, the Web3 wunderkind; his short-lived CEO, Charles Hoskinson; and Joe
Lubin, a former Goldman Sachs VP who became one of crypto's most well-known
billionaires. Sparks fly as these outsized personalities fight for their piece
of a seemingly limitless new business opportunity.
This
fascinating book shows the crypto market for what it really is: a deeply
personal struggle to influence the coming revolution in money, culture, and
power. Buy the book here.
