Publisher's summary

The currency systems today are being threatened by this new technology, and this can be very good for the world and users, but not so good for established central banks and governments.

There is a simpler, easier way to use money; in fact, the solution proposed in this audiobook has to do with the one place you go to every day regardless of how busy you are - the Internet. The world is slowly recognizing that maybe the current system of currency exchange has a better alternative.

If you believe and embrace new technology and are adventurous enough to try an online currency, then Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies may be for you.

Bitcoin is the newest and safest online currency, secured by every other Bitcoin user on the Internet. The government and banks have no say in it at this time. If everyone has faith in the system, it works out perfectly in a number of scenarios. There are less processing fees when you use Bitcoin, and it’s easier to transfer Bitcoin to other currencies. Whether you are buying a new smartphone, an interesting book, or new clothes, Bitcoin is the newest innovation that can make your life easier.

In the end, you’ll discover Bitcoin’s history and the anonymous man who is behind all of this.

You will find out about different cryptocurrencies and why Bitcoin reigns above all of them. You will learn the basics of blockchain and figure out why Bitcoin is safer than you think. You will learn how to buy, sell, and market with Bitcoin. You’ll also learn why Bitcoin’s anonymous system rules above everything - people have no idea who you are, and the government cannot try to control your funds.

Finally, you’ll see all the disadvantages of our current system and realize why Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is the wave of the future.

This audiobook will cover:

  • The definition of a cryptocurrency and all the possibilities that Bitcoin has created.
  • The history of Bitcoin and how it came to be.
  • How Bitcoin uses its own users and community to keep everyone in the currency loop safe, and how the currency is able to be regulated without the interference of the government.
  • What a blockchain is and how it works.
  • How you can sell, buy, and trade bitcoins; the secret in using your bitcoins to monopolize your business.
  • The consequences of our money system now, and what Bitcoin would do for the country.
  • A quick and easy plan you can implement immediately with Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

Clearest intro to blockchain from a prominent

This is a different simple but clear language, clear context around the development of money and exchange. The most important point is the language and voice the author a clear chatty style that reminds me of having a coffee rather than struggling through a lecture.
There are courses ten times the price online that won't arm you with the right questions the way this will ... Highly recommended

Excellent introduction to the subject.

A terrific introduction - technical enough to be satisfying, but so much as to be overwhelming.

Good

This is the right book to listen in order to understand what bitcoin really is and the context in which it appeared. The author combines an in-depth understanding of the complicated subject matter with objectivity and perspective that is hard to find when discussing cryptocurrency technology and bitcoin.

Great explanations

Really interesting listen- this book starts from the basics and builds up to a full explanation of how bitcoin and blockchains work. Detailed while being accessible, I learned a lot about this even though I thought I knew what I was talking about before!

A Very Interesting listen

As a wealth management professional, it's critical for me to have a basic understanding of the latest trends in investing. The Story of the Blockchain has given me the tools I needed to be able to discuss blockchain technology and crypto coins with my clients.

I loved this audio book.

This audiobook is about people, money, nation-states, and how this bizarre new thing called bitcoin is swelling up spontaneously to lap at their ankles. If you are curious about what a Bitcoin is, or more importantly what it is NOT, listen to this audiobook.
