When a pseudonymous programmer introduced “a new electronic cash system that’s fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party” to a small Online mailing list in 2008, very few paid attention. Ten years later, and against all odds, this upstart autonomous decentralized software offers an unstoppable and globally-accessible hard money alternative to modern central banks. The Bitcoin Standard analyzes the historical context to the rise of Bitcoin, the economic properties that have allowed it to grow quickly, and its likely economic, political, and social implications.

In The Fiat Standard, world-renowned economist Saifedean Ammous applies his unique analytical lens to the fiat monetary system, explaining it as a feat of engineering and technology just as he did for bitcoin in his global best seller The Bitcoin Standard. This time, Ammous delves into the world's earlier shift from the gold standard to today's system of government-backed fiat money—outlining the fiat standard's purposes and failures; deriving the wider economic, political, and social implications of its use; and examining how bitcoin will affect it over time.

The story of Ethereum begins with Vitalik Buterin, a supremely gifted 19-year-old autodidact who saw the promise of blockchain when the technology was in its earliest stages. He convinced a crack group of coders to join him in his quest to make a super-charged, global computer. The Infinite Machine introduces Vitalik’s ingenious idea and unfolds Ethereum’s chaotic beginnings. It then explores the brilliant innovation and reckless greed the platform has unleashed and the consequences that resulted as the frenzy surrounding it grew.

We live in an extraordinary time. Technological advances are happening at a rate faster than our ability to understand them, and in a world that moves faster than we can imagine, we cannot afford to stand still. These advances bring efficiency and abundance - and they are profoundly deflationary. Our economic systems were built for a pre-technology era when labor and capital were inextricably linked - an era that counted on growth and inflation and an era where we made money from inefficiency.

What novel forms of capital formation and economic production will become possible? How might they affect the design of social institutions? Can Bitcoin bring about a new Renaissance?

When Money Dies is the classic history of what happens when a nations currency depreciates beyond recovery. In 1923, with its currency effectively worthless (the exchange rate in December of that year was one dollar to 4,200,000,000,000 marks), the German republic was all but reduced to a barter economy. Expensive cigars, artworks, and jewels were routinely exchanged for staples such as bread; a cinema ticket could be bought for a lump of coal; and a bottle of paraffin for a silk shirt....

In this eye-opening account, Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that "follow your passion" is good advice. Not only is the cliché flawed - preexisting passions are rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work - but it can also be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping. After making his case against passion, Newport sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving what they do.

Publisher's Summary
While many books explain the how of bitcoin, The Internet of Money delves into the why of bitcoin. Acclaimed information-security expert and author of Mastering Bitcoin, Andreas M. Antonopoulos examines and contextualizes the significance of bitcoin through a series of essays spanning the exhilarating maturation of this technology.
Bitcoin, a technological breakthrough quietly introduced to the world in 2008, is transforming much more than finance. Bitcoin is disrupting antiquated industries to bring financial independence to billions worldwide. In this book, Andreas explains why bitcoin is a financial and technological evolution with potential far exceeding the label "digital currency."
Andreas goes beyond exploring the technical functioning of the bitcoin network by illuminating bitcoin's philosophical, social, and historical implications. As the Internet has essentially transformed how people around the world interact and has permanently impacted our lives in ways we never could have imagined, bitcoin - the Internet of money - is fundamentally changing our approach to solving social, political, and economic problems through decentralized technology.

Must read for all bitcoiners!
Whether you are a BTC investor or a developer, read this book! Don't be mislead by its "introductory" nature, thinking that you might already know that.
The book isn't about "how bitcoin works". It's about a new disruptive technology that will change the world and money as we know it.
You will learn about bitcoin as a new spin in the evolution of money and why it is so silly to deny its success and the future behind it.

Very poor as an audiobook
I really wanted to listen to this book - but I had to stop. I returned it, even though I got it for next to nothing on sale. I bought it on Kindle instead, but here's why it is maddening to listen to:
- The chapters are incredibly short, with an annoying and disruptive break between even the most basic of ideas. We're talking 30 seconds to a minute, and then the next chapter is introduced. It makes it really tough to listen to and absorb the content.
- A female narrator was chosen to represent the author, even after the author spoke during the intro. I love female narrators - but in this specific case, it was jarring.
Save yourself the agony.

Helpful to understand bitcoin
This book was a collection of speeches/talks that the author did on the topic of bitcoin. I know very little about bitcoin so I'm pleased to report the author did a good job of explaining what bitcoin is (and not) and why it's important. While interesting, the collection of talks wasn't overly exciting. In some cases they were downright boring. As a result, I had to force myself to pay attention at various points. But eventually, I got it done and my knowledge about bitcoin has improved. Not enough to invest in the stuff mind you.
Not that this is a knock on the book, but when I listened to it, it was 2022. Most of the author's addresses are from 2014, so it was a bit dated. Nevertheless, my sense is the basics that he covers are still true today.
I got this one sale. For the price I paid, I'd say it was worth the value. If you had to pay full price, I might tell you to find another book on bitcoin.

great great book to listen to, very informative
the weight this book is written or rather spoken, this in bite-sized chapters. none of them exceed more than a few minutes which helps not to lose your train of thoughts as the conversations can sometimes get loaded with new information. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and suggested to anybody who wants to get more information on bitcoin how it shines and its benefits versus Legacy Financial system

Very Disappointing
The book was very disappointing because it was not technical at all. Also, he kept using way too many examples to over-explain easy concepts. Hearing the word Bitcoin over and over again also tends to get annoying. All of the useful info in here could have been condensed to a 30 minute video, instead of a 5 hour audiobook.

Needs Re-editing
Repetition is bad enough but having to pay for listening to repetition makes it worse.
This also happens to be the first book where I had to hear the chapter and para-numbers being narrated as “Chapter two-dot-four-dot-three”.
The theme is fine and the message that the crypto-currencies are the future with a huge potential could well be conveyed in less than an hour.
This book needs thorough re-editing.

Disjointed mishmash
Any additional comments?
What's the lazy way to create a book? Take recordings of various largely impromptu talks you give and slap them together into a disjointed mishmash. Some interesting ideas, but seriously, put in the effort to make an actual cohesive book.

Good rough summary of Bitcoin capabilities
The book is a good rough introduction to Bitcoin without getting bogged down in details of exactly how transactions and blocks work. There is educated speculation about the possible future implications of peer-to-peer cryptocurrencies (such as Bitcoin). I would recommend this to someone who is curious but not necessarily familiar with information technology. For those familiar with Bitcoin already this book is a nice refresher and reminder about what the protocol is capable of and what it's future political implications may be.

The world's best book on understanding crypto
Andreas Antonopoulos has a gift of explaining complex topics in a way that everyone can easily understand and expand upon. Cryptocurrency is going to be one of the most fundamental technologies of our entire society and it's worth finding out why. When I listened to this there were a few times where a sentence immediately repeated itself in the audio which was annoying but didn't distract too much from the experience.

Informative and Life-Changing

Intense and Surprising
I don't know how many times I hit replay so I could hear again what he just said. The book is riveting and very difficult to understand. It turns out that what I thought Bitcoin was, isn't. When I accepted that we aren't talking about a coin; that I don't have a wallet but a keychain; that's when I began to see the sheer brilliance of it all.

Les bases ontologiques.
Rien de technique, simplement une bonne introduction au contexte qui rend le Bitcoin si important.
