Ignore at Your Own Risk: The New Decentralized World of Bitcoin and Blockchain (English Edition)
Price:
(as of – Details)
The book is intended to provide an objective, sober and realistic view on the Bitcoin phenomenon. This new phenomenon should neither be blindly idealized nor straightforwardly demonized. Rather, it should be an analysis in depth that helps anyone with little knowledge of the subject to understand terms, concepts, considerations and connections around Bitcoin, Blockchain and crypto assets. Ultimately, the idea and philosophy behind the crypto phenomenon should be conveyed and embedded in our current social, economic and world- political context. In addition, the work will attempt to show what the emergence of Bitcoin has already brought in concrete terms and why all of us (as individuals and as society) – despite numerous challenges, uncertainties and risks – could still benefit from this development in the future. A chapter will also be dedicated to Switzerland, its relevant exponents and projects. The uniqueness of this book is the integration of a comic story – we called it “comic book in book”. It is a fictional story about two friends, a journalist and a developer, discovering the new crypto world. On their journey they meet well-known personalities and experts from the crypto scene and get to know the new technology. They don’t meet only friends of crypto, but persons who would combat this movement.
