To the Moon

The Meteoric Rise of Blockchain, Cryptocurrency and NFTs and Where They're Going Next

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

It all started with a paper and an anonymous author.

Crypto-language has become an everyday talking point for millions, and crypto-finance is central to global money. But the rise of bitcoin, blockchain, DeFi and crypto have remained sudden and mysterious.

To The Moon is the only initiation you'll need into the world of cryptocurrency, bitcoin, blockchain, NFTs and the people behind their dramatic rise. Taking you on a journey which visits cypherpunks, investigates whether Satoshi actually matters, introduces sea-steading and crypto libertarians, explains how to hack the unhackable, analyses blockchain versus big government and why you need to 'hold on for dear life!', you'll hear the true stories behind this precipitous world.

There's no hype. There's no technical jargon. Just a compelling saga of crypto.
