About this listen

So, what are cryptocurrencies, and why do they exist?

The primary reason most people are interested in cryptocurrencies these days is because they’ve heard of the ungodly sums of money someone can make in the market. What was once a niche asset reserved for people who spoke computer science has become a fully viable alternative asset that has been compared to gold and oil.

This book aims to demystify this asset class, particularly Bitcoin, and help you understand whether an investment is the right choice for you or not. Even if you don’t choose to invest, it doesn’t hurt to understand what is driving this new asset class and how sustainable these forces are. The fact is that many people don’t understand the economic forces that are driving the prices of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies right now.

As someone who has worked in financial services technology for over 30 years, I’ve had a front-row seat to the way money has evolved over the past few decades. All of the views in this book are the same as what I advocate to my clients around the world.
