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.
“I interviewed people from Western countries, USA, Sweden, Canada, but then Jamaica, double digit inflation, Argentina, triple digit inflation. Venezuela, quadruple-digit inflation. And all of this culminates in the understanding that this is what happens to money. You think in the U.S. that it's not going to get like this, but it will get like this… this has happened to every money in human history… It's just because they're printing more money, right?… If inflation is just because of money printing, what if there's a money that can't be printed?”
