Good Money: Bitcoin - the Solution to the Problems of Our Current Monetary System

'The Bitcoin Standard' is the undisputed classic of Bitcoin literature. The foundational work by economist Saifedean Ammous is aimed at both professionals and interested laypeople. It provides a well-founded insight into the mechanisms of the financial world, explains the resulting social and economic problems, and discusses the new possibilities offered by cryptocurrencies.

To do this, the author first familiarizes readers with ancient forms of currency and traces the path from gold coins to today's fiat money. It is explained why this actually has no intrinsic value and merely serves as a state-guaranteed medium of exchange. Ammous then explains Bitcoin, a digital monetary system, and clarifies why Bitcoin is a true alternative for our economic system.
