The Bitcoin Standard - Saifedean Ammous

A comprehensive and authoritative exploration of Bitcoin and its place in monetary history When a pseudonymous programmer introduced "a new electronic cash system thatÂ’s fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party" to a small online mailing list in 2008, very few people 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. While Bitcoin is an invention of the digital age, the problem it purports to solve is as old as human society itself: transferring value across time and space. Author Saifedean Ammous takes the reader on an engaging journey through the history of technologies performing the functions of money, from primitive systems of trading limestones and seashells, to metals, coins, the gold standard, and modern government debt. Exploring what gave these technologies their monetary role, and how most lost it, provides the reader with a good idea of what makes for sound money, and sets the stage for an economic discussion of its consequences for individual and societal future-orientation, capital accumulation, trade, peace, culture, and art. Compellingly, Ammous shows that it is no coincidence that the loftiest achievements of humanity have come in societies enjoying the benefits of sound monetary regimes, nor is it coincidental that monetary collapse has usually accompanied civilizational collapse. With this background in place, the book moves on to explain the operation of Bitcoin in a functional and intuitive way. Bitcoin is a decentralized, distributed piece of software that converts electricity and processing power into indisputably accurate records, thus allowing its users to utilize the Internet to perform the traditional functions of money without having to rely on, or trust, any authorities or infrastructure in the physical world. Bitcoin is thus best understood as the first successfully implemented form of digital cash and digital hard money. With an automated and perfectly predictable monetary policy, and the ability to perform final settlement of large sums across the world in a matter of minutes, Bitcoin''s real competitive edge might just be as a store of value and network for the final settlement of large payments a digital form of gold with a built-in settlement infrastructure. Ammous'' firm grasp of the technological possibilities as well as the historical realities of monetary evolution provides for a fascinating exploration of the ramifications of voluntary free market money. As it challenges the most sacred of government monopolies, Bitcoin shifts the pendulum of sovereignty away from governments in favor of individuals, offering us the tantalizing possibility of a world where money is fully extricated from politics and unrestrained by borders. The final chapter of the book explores some of the most common questions surrounding Bitcoin: Is Bitcoin mining a waste of energy? Is Bitcoin for criminals? Who controls Bitcoin, and can they change it if they please? How can Bitcoin be killed? And what to make of all the thousands of Bitcoin knockoffs, and the many supposed applications of Bitcoin''s ''block chain technology''? The Bitcoin Standard is the essential resource for a clear understanding of the rise of the Internet''s decentralized, apolitical, free-market alternative to national central banks.

Bugsy & Other Stories - Rafael Frumkin

From the author of Confidence and The Comedown comes a wildly imaginative story collection about queerness, neurodivergence, sexuality, and self-discovery. Frumkin’s latest book is a deliciously entertaining collection of five genre-defying stories that range from downright hilarious to brilliantly unhinged. Taken together, they celebrate a wide variety of human experiences. In the title story, a queer young adult with bipolar disorder drops out of college in a fog of depression, aimlessly drifting between maintaining their job at a fast food restaurant and dodging their mom’s texts. But when they fall in with a group of sex workers starring in BDSM films, they find radical freedom, love, and community. In other stories, we meet a psychiatrist whose meticulously-maintained life is upended by an Alex Trebek-like voice in his head, an e-girl celebrity who is being courted by a delusional fan, a young boy on the spectrum at odds with a neurotypical world determined to “cure” him, and an elderly woman whose consciousness is being transformed by her oncoming death. With incredible insight, compassion, and honesty, Frumkin unravels each story with tantalizing precision. Sexy and raw—and compulsively readable—this collection offers a look at our innermost selves as we all try to make sense of the world and our place in it.

Mining Men - Emily P Webber

The story of the last generation of British miners: fathers and sons, brothers and comrades, big hitters and broken men, strikers and scabs. Mining Men explores how these men felt when the pits were closed and what happened next, including former miners who became factory workers, detectives, driving instructors, counsellors, the local mayor and one who even ended up working on Fleet Street. Featuring accounts from Ayrshire to the South Wales Valleys, from the ‘People’s Republic of South Yorkshire’, to the ‘Sunshine Corner Coalfields’ of Kent, each chapter offers a different perspective of the industry.Britain’s last deep coalmine closed in 2015, yet just fifty years ago the mining industry was a juggernaut, employing over 250,000 workers. Combining new personal interviews with extensive archival research, Emily P. Webber illuminates the extraordinary history of the industry once considered the backbone of Britain.By situating the miners’ strike of 1984–85 in a longer history of the coalfields, we can understand why miners and their families fought so hard against pit closures, and what happened after the pit wheels stopped turning. Vivid, evocative and richly alive with minute detail, Mining Men uncovers what the mining industry once meant to its workers and their communities, and what Britain lost when it was gone.

Bitcoin is for Everyone - Natalie Brunell

Let’s face it – we all sense something is wrong. People have lost faith in the future; they feel left behind. The cost of homes, college tuition, and even groceries is skyrocketing. While the rich grow exponentially richer, life for the average person has become increasingly unaffordable. Bitcoin is for Everyone explores what’s wrong with our monetary system and presents a bold vision for how Bitcoin fixes it. Bitcoin is for Everyone is a must read for anyone who is trying to comprehend why the value of the US dollar is diminishing before our very eyes – and nobody brings the subject to life quite like journalist Natalie Brunell. With Natalie’s guidance, exploring Bitcoin is a compelling and inspiring journey of hope and discovery. The book looks squarely at the causes and consequences of “broken money” and introduces Bitcoin as a game-changing remedy to our most urgent challenges.

Audiokniha: Autor se v útlé avšak velmi čtivě psané publikaci věnuje ekonomické podstatě bitcoinu v širším kontextu historie peněz, kterým bitcoin navrací funkci uchovatele hodnoty, vysvětluje přijetí bitcoinu jako příklad takzvaného hype cyklu a vyjadřuje se i přetrvávajícím nepřesnostem a polopravdám, které o bitcoinu kolují. Optimistický avšak ne zcela nekritický nádech knihy tak má reflektovat i český název Bitcoin je budoucnost. Jak píše Josef Tětek v závěru své předmluvy k českému vydání: „Text Vijaye Boyapatiho zkrátka naplňuje čtenáře racionálním optimismem. Bitcoin není instrument na rychlé zbohatnutí, není však ani technologickým módním výstřelkem, který by mohl být rychle překonán. Bitcoin je unikátní pokus o odluku peněz od státu a Vijay metodicky vysvětluje, proč zrovna tento pokus má velmi vysokou naději na úspěch.“

The Devil Takes Bitcoin - Jake Adelstein

The wild, true story of cyber-era commerce, crime, cold-hard cash, and one of the greatest heists in history. Even in hell, Bitcoin talks. This modern take on an old Japanese saying still holds true. Cryptocurrency was supposed to do for money what the internet did for information, but it didn’t work out that way. Its virtual existence unleashed real-world chaos — especially in the homeland of its mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Tokyo was the centre of the world’s largest bitcoin exchange, Mt. Gox, until that company collapsed with nearly half a billion dollars’ worth of bitcoin gone missing. It might be the greatest heist in history. If it was a heist. So what really happened? Here’s the true story of the humble-to-hot commodity, from the former geek website that launched the boom to an inside world of absent-minded CEOs, hucksters, hackers, cybercrooks, drug dealers, corrupt federal agents, evangelical libertarians, and clueless techies. You’ll discover Bitcoin’s connection to the infamous Silk Road, learn why hell has nothing on Japan’s criminal justice system, and get the lowdown on the high cost of betting with the Devil’s dollars. All of this for less than the price of a single bitcoin.

V rámci naší lokální iniciativy Braiins Publishing, ve které českým a slovenským čtenářům přinášíme překlady kvalitních zahraničních knih o Bitcoinu, jsme se rozhodli jít ještě o krok blíž k naší lokální komunitě a představit první knihu od českého autora.

Autor se na 115 stranách knihy rozdělených do pěti kapitol věnuje úvodu do rakouské školy ekonomie, časovým preferencím a jejich vztahu k povaze peněz, dále vás provede monetární historií lidstva a odlukami institucí od státu a celkovými dopady peněžní odluky jako takové. V závěru se autor zabývá otázkou, proč pouze Bitcoin má naději na úspěch a proč nemá smysl věnovat pozornost velkému množství ostatních tzv. kryptoměn. Co vlastně řeší ekonomie? Proč potřebujeme nestátní peníze? Musíme se neustále zadlužovat a projídat budoucnost? Proč představuje monopol na peníze neodolatelné pokušení? Jak dochází k postupné bitcoinizaci světa?

Jak pochopit Bitcoin (999-00-030-7519-2)

Elektronická kniha - autor Ing. Michael Merta, 68 stran, česky Bitcoin se těší velké popularitě a jeho adopce celosvětově roste. Následky rozhodnutí vlád po celém světě spojených s pandemií Covid-19 vedou k tisknutí nových peněz a tím ke znehodnocování již existujících hodnot. Finanční instituce, firmy i jednotlivci proto hledají bezpečný přístav, který ochrání jejich prostředky proti očekávané inflaci. Před investicí do Bitcoinu je ale důležité chápat jeho podstatu a nespekulovat pouze na růstu, který ho nyní provází. nbsp; nbsp; Bitcoin je založen na technologii, která se nazývá "blockchain". Jedná se o řetěz vzájemně provázaných bloků, které obsahují bitcoinové transakce. nbsp;Díky blockchainu je možné provádět platby mezi stranami bez nutnosti klasického finančního systému, protože všechny transakce jsou veřejně uložené na desetitisících počítačích zároveň a jsou tak chráněny proti hackerům. nbsp; Budoucnost patří těm, kteří se nejrychlejí zorientují....

The Wristwatch Handbook - Otakáro Schmidt

"...a beautiful book, filled with captivating images and explanatory text which never gets too dry or too technical..." - RevolutionDespite the functional obsolescence of the mechanical wristwatch (our phones and computers tell more accurate time) the early 21st Century has seen a boom in the development, production, and appreciation of all things horological. Whether it is presented to the collector as an alternative investment, as a feat of micro-mechanical technology, or as a showcase of artisanal mastery, the mechanical wristwatch has never possessed more forms, functions or facets than it does today. The Wristwatch Handbook is written from the epicentre of a renaissance, a place in time between the Quartz revolution and the rise of the smart device - where the mechanical wristwatch is the antidote to the microprocessor and the permanent buzz of your inbox. From the multi-axis tourbillion, to the split-second chronograph, to the sidereal sky chart, The Wristwatch Handbook covers it all and does so with more than 470 rich illustrations from over 90 of the World''s leading brands. The book is separated into two sections. The first section provides the reader with a comprehensive understanding of the mechanical movement. Its chapters explore power, transmission, distribution and regulation illustrating the basic concepts before considering the innovation and complexity that takes place further toward the cutting edge. From the fifty-day power reserve, to the constant force mechanism, and the 1,000Hz mechanical escapement, section 1 will allow the reader to understand and appreciate what is happening beneath the dial of their watch. Section two allows the reader to take this understanding and apply it to the vast range of complications (functions) that exist in modern horology. Each chapter showcases a distinct category of complication. For example, the regatta timer, pulsometer, and monopusher chronograph join a host of others in a chapter entitled ''Recording Lapses of Time''; The power reserve indicator, dynamograph, and crown position indicator are featured in a chapter for ''Power and Performance Indication''; The moon phase indicator, annual calendar, and planetarium can be found in the ''Astronomical Complications'' chapter. Once the functional categories are exhausted, the final three chapters explore whimsical complications that have little regard for practical function, novelty time indication, and the ''super-complicated'' watch - a rare breed of timepiece that houses an intimidating host of complications featured throughout the book. Upon completion of The Wristwatch Handbook the reader will be able to identify even the most exotic complication from across the room, and be able to share their appreciation and understanding of what makes it so useful and compelling. The Wristwatch Handbook is "brand agnostic", using only those watches that most aptly illustrate the given subject-matter. As a consequence the book places equal emphasis on the classic and the cutting edge, on watches produced in large volume or exclusive runs, by industry-leading technology or at the hand of a master. In doing so the book provides an unparalleled range of watches from over 90 brands, allowing the reader to determine for themselves which brands, complications, and styles they will build their collection from.
