Download or read book Bitcoin Whales written by Alan T. Norman and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-01-11 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you want to plunge into the real, not virtual, the world of marvelous animals, all you need to do is to invest a part of your capital in the cryptocurrency market. Here you will find lots of animals: whales, sharks, and even hamsters. Your role in this fabulous zoo depends on many factors. You are not likely to cope with just one of the main roles - the role of a whale. So who are the whales and why are they so special? The whales are the participants in the cryptocurrency market who own very large capital. Not just large, but VERY large one. I suppose you won't see anything supernatural in this argument, since such players exist in traditional markets also. And you know what? I can't help but agree with you on this matter. However, there is still a big difference between the whales, let's say in the stock market, and the whales in the cryptocurrency market. If the first ones live in a clear legal framework and play only according to certain rules, the second ones, owing to the youth and wildness of the cryptocurrency market, do what they want, when they want and with whom they want. In other words, these seemingly cute animals of the underwater world simply commit brutal and cynical manipulations in the market. It's almost impossible to track their actions and even more so to punish them. As long as there are no regulators in the market, each of its participants will continue to play its role: someone will lay down the rules, determining the further movement of a currency price, while others will adapt. Does my book provide a one hundred percent proof of the outrage of whales? No, it does not! Does my book suggest the ways how to grapple with them? No, it does not! You may ask: why do I need this book then? To destroy my faith in the bright future of the new era of electronic money? No! To be disappointed in the coming of the next "Bitcoin to the moon"? No! To finally prove that the "bubble popped" to the joy of crypto skeptics? No! My mission is simple: to reveal to you the inside facts of the cryptocurrency world. It's up to you to decide what to do with this information. Do not forget that who owns the information, he owns the world. My investigation will just provide you with the cause-and-effect relations between those or other market participants, namely: Common feature of the wallets storing hundreds of thousands of Bitcoin Significance of micro transactions between these wallets and relation they bear to currency pump or dump Link between Bitfinex exchange and MtGOX exchange (yes, the one that broke off back in 2014) Reason why USDT tokens cannot be bought through the bank and the way those tokens, which should have been destroyed after fiat withdrawals, returned to Bitfinex. But... This book is not only about a global conspiracy. It is about the newly returned hope in the person of Bitcoin creator, which we all know under the name of Satoshi Nakamoto. I will introduce you to the real father of cryptocurrency on the pages of this book. I would like to finish my story with the words of Shakespeare: "The whole world - theater, and the people in it - the actors." Well, well ... Perhaps, Shakespeare back then wanted to warn us about something?)
Book Synopsis Imagine there's no currency by : Alessandro Raffelini
Download or read book Imagine there's no currency written by Alessandro Raffelini and published by Youcanprint. This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine there's no currency is a novel about the future of money. The Novel unfolds in the heart of an emerging economy, burdened by the dangers of hyperinflation and the looming prospect of other economic challenges. In a not-so-distant future, the global economy had been ravaged by hyperinflation, wars, and human folly. Only a handful of powerful states held sway over the rest, enjoying economic dominance and privileges. The majority of the world's population languished in poverty, while money had lost its value... It all began when an enigmatic scientist named Dr. Carter made an astonishing breakthrough... In this book, my aim is to provide a comprehensive explanation of the cryptosystem and blockchain technology. I delve deeply into the intricacies of Blockchain and cryptocurrencies, offering readers an in-depth understanding of these innovative concepts. Through this exploration, you will acquire a profound understanding of the current intricate landscape and the potential future developments in both the realms of money and technology. Moreover, I will share my visionary perspective on alternative monetary and economic model about the future of money. Years ago, I had the first insight that gave life to an innovative theory, imagining a possible "market" coexistence between cryptocurrencies and traditional fiat currencies, promoting the creation of potential alternative economic areas. This theory is based on the observation of the lack of a key variable in the Keynesian memory function of money, namely the technological innovation related to money produced precisely by Blockchain and cryptocurrencies. By adding this variable and more, I intuited that, consequently, monetary systems would move endogenously toward alternative equilibrium points between currency and cryptocurrencies with effective functionalities, such as Bitcoin, which I have always considered a possible new form of decentralized money and a potential supranational fractional reserve (optimal points of coexistence equilibrium). From here, I developed a new function of the demand for money and conducted various macroeconomic considerations for the creation of alternative digital systems in specific economic areas, which could coexist with traditional ones, but expanding economic opportunities for various reasons.
Download or read book Once a Bitcoin Miner written by Ethan Lou and published by ECW Press. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A true story. Fast-paced. Immersive. The definitive parable of everything Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, and blockchain. There is the Bitcoin story of the headlines, but there is a more important one behind them: tangled plots sprawling like roots deep underground, entire worlds in which we are just passersby. In Once a Bitcoin Miner, journalist and author Ethan Lou takes readers on a richly told first-person narrative through the proverbial cryptocurrency Wild West. From investing in Bitcoin in university to his time writing for Reuters, and then mining the digital asset ― Lou meets the likes of the late Gerald Cotten (of QuadrigaCX) and a co-founder of Ethereum, and hangs out in North Korea with Virgil Griffith, the man later arrested for allegedly teaching blockchain to the totalitarian state. Coming of age in the 2008 financial crisis, Lou’s generation has a natural affinity with this rebel internet money, this so-called millennial gold, created in the wake of that economic storm. At once a personal story of adventure and fortune, this book is also a work of journalistic rigor, a deep dive into this domain that everyone hears about, yet which nobody truly knows, into the lives of the fast-talkers, the exiles, the ambitious, and the daring, forging their paths in a new world harsh and unpredictable.

Book Synopsis The Future of Money by : Eswar S. Prasad
Download or read book The Future of Money written by Eswar S. Prasad and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Economist Best Book of the Year A Financial Times Best Book of the Year A Foreign Affairs Best Book of the Year A ProMarket Best Political Economy Book of the Year One of The Week’s Ten Best Business Books of the Year A cutting-edge look at how accelerating financial change, from the end of cash to the rise of cryptocurrencies, will transform economies for better and worse. We think we’ve seen financial innovation. We bank from laptops and buy coffee with the wave of a phone. But these are minor miracles compared with the dizzying experiments now underway around the globe, as businesses and governments alike embrace the possibilities of new financial technologies. As Eswar Prasad explains, the world of finance is at the threshold of major disruption that will affect corporations, bankers, states, and indeed all of us. The transformation of money will fundamentally rewrite how ordinary people live. Above all, Prasad foresees the end of physical cash. The driving force won’t be phones or credit cards but rather central banks, spurred by the emergence of cryptocurrencies to develop their own, more stable digital currencies. Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies themselves will evolve unpredictably as global corporations like Meta and Amazon join the game. The changes will be accompanied by snowballing innovations that are reshaping finance and have already begun to revolutionize how we invest, trade, insure, and manage risk. Prasad shows how these and other changes will redefine the very concept of money, unbundling its traditional functions as a unit of account, medium of exchange, and store of value. The promise lies in greater efficiency and flexibility, increased sensitivity to the needs of diverse consumers, and improved market access for the unbanked. The risk is instability, lack of accountability, and erosion of privacy. A lucid, visionary work, The Future of Money shows how to maximize the best and guard against the worst of what is to come.
Book Synopsis Attack of the 50 Foot Blockchain by : David Gerard
Download or read book Attack of the 50 Foot Blockchain written by David Gerard and published by David Gerard. This book was released on 2017-07-24 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental new Internet-based form of money is created that anyone can generate at home; people build frightening firetrap computers full of video cards, putting out so much heat that one operator is hospitalised with heatstroke and brain damage. A young physics student starts a revolutionary new marketplace immune to State coercion; he ends up ordering hits on people because they might threaten his great experiment, and is jailed for life without parole. Fully automated contractual systems are proposed to make business and the law work better; the contracts people actually write are unregulated penny stock offerings whose fine print literally states that you are buying nothing of any value. The biggest crowdfunding in history attracts $150 million on the promise that it will embody “the steadfast iron will of unstoppable code”; upon release it is immediately hacked, and $50 million is stolen. How did we get here? David Gerard covers the origins and history of Bitcoin to the present day, the other cryptocurrencies it spawned including Ethereum, the ICO craze and the 2017 crypto bubble, and the attempts to apply blockchains and smart contracts to business. Plus a case study on blockchains in the music industry. Bitcoin and blockchains are not a technology story, but a psychology story. Remember: if it sounds too good to be true, it almost certainly is. “A sober riposte to all the upbeat forecasts about cryptocurrency” — New York Review of Books “A very convincing takedown of the whole phenomenon” — BBC News

Book Synopsis The End of Reality by : Jonathan Taplin
Download or read book The End of Reality written by Jonathan Taplin and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An instant bestseller! A brilliant takedown and exposé of the great con job of the twenty-first century—the metaverse, crypto, space travel, transhumanism—being sold by four billionaires (Peter Thiel, Mark Zuckerberg, Marc Andreesen, Elon Musk), leading to the degeneration and bankruptcy of our society. At a time when the crises of income inequality, climate, and democracy are compounding to create epic wealth disparity and the prospect of a second American civil war, four billionaires are hyping schemes that are designed to divert our attention away from issues that really matter. Each scheme—the metaverse, cryptocurrency, space travel, and transhumanism—is an existential threat in moral, political, and economic terms. In The End of Reality¸ Jonathan Taplin provides perceptive insight into the personal backgrounds and cultural power of these billionaires—Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Marc Andreesen (“The Four”) —and shows how their tech monopolies have brought middle-class wage stagnation, the hollowing out of many American towns, a radical increase in income inequality, and unbounded public acrimony. Meanwhile, the enormous amount of taxpayer money to be funneled into the dystopian ventures of "The Four," the benefits of which will accrue to billionaires, exacerbate these disturbing trends. The End of Reality is both scathing critique and reform agenda that replaces the warped worldview of "The Four" with a vision of regenerative economics that seeks to build a sustainable society with healthy growth and full employment.

Our target audience is students, professionals, and managers who want to learn about the overall Web 3.0 landscape—the investments, the size of markets, major players, and the global reach—as well as the economic and social value of applications. We present applications that use Web 3.0 technologies to unlock value in DeFi, NFTs, supply chains, media, identity, credentials, metaverses, and more. Readers will learn about the underlying technologies, the maturity of Web 3.0 today, and the future of the space from thought-leaders. This textbook is used by undergraduate and graduate Blockchain Fundamentals courses at the University of Arkansas, the University of Wyoming, and other universities around the world. Professors interested in adopting this book for instructional purposes are welcome to contact the authors for supporting instructional materials.
