Publisher's Synopsis
In "The Bitcoin Enlightenment," billionaire entrepreneur Ricardo B Salinas, who bought his first Bitcoin at $200, shares the hard-won monetary wisdom passed down through four generations of his family. Having survived Mexico's devastating hyperinflation of the 1980s, Salinas understands firsthand how fiat money destroys wealth, corrupts society, and enslaves entire populations.
This groundbreaking book reveals:
- Why saving in dollars, euros, or any fiat currency guarantees poverty
- How the 1694 founding of the Bank of England set humanity on a path to monetary destruction
- The hidden "inflation tax" that steals your time, energy, and future
- Why younger generations are priced out of housing, stocks, and the American Dream
- How governments and central banks create money from nothing and why it always ends badly
- The "economic murder of God" in 1971 that unleashed unlimited money printing
- Why Bitcoin's 21 million hard cap makes it humanity's first incorruptible money
More than just theory, this book provides a practical roadmap for individuals and businesses to protect and grow wealth in the Bitcoin age. Learn how major corporations are already using Bitcoin as treasury reserves, why governments may soon hold strategic Bitcoin reserves, and how to position yourself for the greatest wealth transfer in history.
Written with Dr. Saifedean Ammous's "The Saif House" and featuring insights from Michael Saylor, this essential guide combines historical analysis, economic theory, and real-world application to show why Bitcoin isn't just an investment, it's a monetary revolution that will reshape civilization.
Perfect for readers of "The Bitcoin Standard," investors seeking inflation protection, and anyone who wants to understand why the current financial system is broken and how to escape it.
