Publisher's Synopsis
"Virtual currencies, perhaps most notably Bitcoin, have captured the imagination of some, struck fear among others, and confused the heck out of the rest of us." - Thomas Carper, US-Senator Join the technological revolution that has rocked the financial world. But is Bitcoin really an investor's grab-bag? Mastering Bitcoin is your guide through the outwardly complex world of Bitcoin, providing the knowledge you need to cut your slice in the future of money. Whether you're looking into the next killer venture, investing in a startup, or simply curious about the technology, this review by Nakamoto provides essential detail to get you started. Bitcoin is still in its early stages and yet it has already spawned a multi-billion-dollar global economy and forced the financial world to start thinking of transactions in a completely new way. A lot of us give the capacity of storing money, saving money, sending money to others and receive money electronically for granted because we are part of the 50% lucky of the world, but 2.5 billion adults in the world does not have access to bank accounts. A crypto currency can give to millions of people access to having a bank in their pocket through a cell phone, opening commerce to masses of new entrepreneurs and consumers. But, a part from the sociopolitical consequences of the new "currency with wings," if you were to talk about Bitcoin with your grandmother, probably the first thing she would be asking would be "It sounds great up to now ...but how can I use it I mean, do I just go up to the grocery store and give them a number or code or something?" Your grandma is right; also learning the basics is essential.
