The Bitcoin Standard analyzes the historical context to the rise of Bitcoin, the economic properties that have allowed it to grow quickly, and its likely economic, political, and social implications. The book takes the reader on an engaging journey through the history of technologies performing the functions of money, from primitive systems to modern government debt. It explains the operation of Bitcoin as a decentralized, distributed piece of software that converts electricity and processing power into indisputably accurate records, allowing users to perform traditional monetary functions without relying on authorities or physical infrastructure. The book also explores common questions surrounding Bitcoin and its potential as a store of value and a network for final settlement of large payments, challenging government monopolies and offering a vision of money extricated from politics and borders.
In 'Financial Peace,' Dave Ramsey lays out a simple yet effective framework for managing personal finances. The book emphasizes the importance of eliminating debt, budgeting effectively, and making informed financial decisions. Ramsey introduces his 'Baby Steps,' which include saving $1,000 for emergencies, paying off all consumer debt apart from the home mortgage, and building a 3-6 month emergency fund. He also advises on investing 15% of income into retirement accounts, saving for children’s college education, paying off the home mortgage, and building wealth and giving generously. The book is grounded in practical strategies for saving, investing, and spending wisely, interspersed with real-life examples and Ramsey’s personal experiences.
