Bitcoin became a buzzword overnight. A cyber enigma with an enthusiastic following, it pops up in headlines and fuels endless media debate. You can apparently use it to buy anything from coffee to cars, yet few people seem truly to understand what it is. This raises the question: Why should anyone care about bitcoin?
In The Age of Cryptocurrency, Wall Street journalists Paul Vigna and Michael J. Casey deliver the definitive answer to this question. Cyber money is poised to launch a revolution, one that could reinvent traditional financial and social structures while bringing the world's billions of "unbanked" individuals into a new global economy. Cryptocurrency holds the promise of a financial system without a middleman, one owned by the people who use it and one safeguarded from the devastation of a 2008-type crash.
But bitcoin, the most famous of the cyber monies, carries a reputation for instability, wild fluctuation, and illicit business; some fear it has the power to eliminate jobs and to upend the concept of a nation-state. It implies, above all, monumental and wide-reaching change--for better and for worse. But it is here to stay, and you ignore it at your peril.
Vigna and Casey demystify cryptocurrency--its origins, its function, and what you need to know to navigate a cyber economy. The digital currency world will look very different from the paper currency world; The Age of Cryptocurrency will teach you how to be ready.

It is very well written with the non techies in mind, but even so, it can be a bit hard to follow since it decentralized technology is technical in nature. With that said, if you have no idea what cryptocurrency or decentralized technology is, or you want to know more about it, then this book is for you.

Published in 2015, Bitcoin was trading in the $375 range. Today it’s closer to $18,500 range. The writers are very balanced on the future of cryptocurrencies but I think the recent run up should demonstrate the strength of Bitcoin. Others are beginning to take off as well. While Bitcoin is discussed at some length, the blockchain is examined in depth as well and I think that is the most interesting subject matter in this book.
I’m recommending this one to everyone I know!
Read it or listen to it but don't pass this one up
