Book Musings: Bitcoin Billionaires

Book Musings: Bitcoin Billionaires


I was so skeptical of this 'bitcoin' concept when it came out in many of the websites back in 2013. Probably because at lot of those sites who offer a way to invest were scams and you can't blame me for the doubts. But it was only when these Winklevoss twins made it to the news that I realized it's real and the price for 1 bitcoin has gone up to the roof and I can't afford it anymore.

Anyway, this book Bitcoin Billionaire talks about Bitcoin as not just some virtual currencies that pop out of the head of internet brainiacs. It runs deep that is rooted on the philosophy of Libertarianism in which it operates on decentralized digital currency -  borderless, countryless and it is based on Math and not humans. 

I never really followed the story of how the first Bitcoin Billionaires came to be and this book is a good read to know it. 

Intuitively written by Ben Mezrich, the same guy who wrote The Accidental Billionaires: The founding of Facebook, A tale of sex, money, genius, and betrayal that was adopted into the movie, The Social Network.

This is a good read if you want to understand Bitcoin and the blockchain technology more.

Highly Recommended and happy reading!
