This book serves as a clarion call to return to the fundamental principles of Bitcoin, which is not about “moon” or “lambo,” but rather about decentralization. It urges us to reconnect with the foundational idea of a Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System—something that has never existed before.
We are still in the early stages of Bitcoin’s adoption and usage, and it’s important to remember that this is a marathon, not a sprint. The quest to create cryptocurrency spanned nearly three decades before Bitcoin was finally introduced. Perhaps we should allow Bitcoin three decades to see if it truly achieves widespread adoption.
In this work, I draw a connecting line from the origins of money through barter systems, Central Banking, and economic collapses, leading to the emergence of private currencies and the libertarian movement. I delve into the unveiling of Satoshi Nakamoto, culminating in the birth, adoption, and everyday use of Bitcoin for trade, payments, remittances, charity, and as a store of value. While I touch on buzzwords like “Blockchain” and “Cryptocurrency,” it’s essential to clarify that this book focuses specifically on Bitcoin.
Today, we are privileged to possess an asset that we can fully own—one that cannot be confiscated, stolen, destroyed, inflated, banned, or sanctioned, as long as we maintain access to our private keys.
I have chosen to capitalize “Bitcoin” throughout this book, and I hope you won’t question this decision. I invite you to enjoy a truly enriching read!
