The Genesis Book

The Story of the People and Projects That Inspired Bitcoin

De: Aaron van Wirdum

Narrado por: Christian Neale

Bitcoin did not appear out of nowhere. For decades prior to Satoshi Nakamoto’s invention, a diverse group of computer scientists, privacy activists, and heterodox economists tried to create a digital form of money that could operate independently of government control. The Genesis Book tells the story of the people and projects that inspired the invention of the world’s first successful peer-to-peer electronic cash system.

The story you’ll never hear in the media! Amazing!

Truly gives a full picture of the 100+ years of innovation that led to Bitcoin’s discovery and invention of the protocol. From the debunking pseudoscience economics through praxiology, the cypherpunk origin and ethos, the many amazing innovations in cryptography that made it possible, and the failed attempts you usually won’t hear about. One of my favorite recommendations.

Fantastic book about the history of bitcoin.

The book does a fantastic job explaining how the ideas in bitcoin, from money to cryptography evolved over a long period and how they were strung together.

The ambition of Satoshi

Van Wirdum explains the audacious ambition of the Cypherpunks and especially Satoshi Nakamoto in this fantastic book. As a great storyteller, the author weaves an entertaining thriller that captures well a large cast of characters and the many different strands of political, economic, philosophical, computing,and network thinking that was drawn upon for the creation of bitcoin. It all adds up to a beautiful articulation of the historic, visionary ambition of Satoshi to create a non-state-sponsored monetary system for everyday people like me. Highly recommended!

Very informative!

Excellent context and history! A must read for all bitcoin owners! I found it very thoroughly compiled. This is the end and I hate this 15 word limit!
