The Bitcoin Big Bang (eBook)

Get a handle on the digital currency revolution, and learn how
to get on board

The Bitcoin Big Bang is a guide to navigating the
uncharted territory of digital currency. Written by CNBC
contributor Brian Kelly, this book goes beyond Bitcoin 101 to
explain how this transformative technology is about to change the
world. Digital currency is thrown into perspective against the
history of payment systems and its own evolution, as readers are
invited to explore the ways in which this technology is already
changing the way business gets done. Readers gain insight into the
mechanisms behind Bitcoin, and an expert perspective on digital
currency's effect on the future of money and the economic
implications of the Bitcoin revolution.

In the same way that e-mail changed the way we transfer
information, the decentralized Bitcoin network is about to
revolutionize the business world, the legal profession, and even
the role of the government. The Bitcoin Big Bang dives head
first into this paradigm shift, allowing readers to:

* Explore the origins of digital currency

* Learn the history and evolution of payment systems

* Discover how the Bitcoin network is facilitating free and
instant transfer of value

* Understand the mining of Bitcoin, and how to invest

The digital currency revolution has implications that spread far
beyond the finance industry. Anyone who exchanges payment for goods
and services is on the cusp of the next big push in societal
evolution, and only an understanding of the technology and a clear
knowledge of the systems and behaviors at play can fully prepare us
for the changes to come. The Bitcoin Big Bang is the go-to
guide, helping those who use money use it better.
