Originally published online in early 2021, The Crypto Capitalist Manifesto provides an introductory framework that answers the question "Why crypto? Why Bitcoin? Why now?". Authored by internet veteran and Bitcoin OG Mark E. Jeftovic (CEO of Toronto-based easyDNS Technologies), Jeftovic makes the case that the tectonic shifts and discord we are experiencing today on a widespread basis stem primarily from a coming "monetary regime change".

Obviously, I recovered. So did Bitcoin. In that book, I note a few important things about Bitcoin that ...
