The Age of Cryptocurrency: How Bitcoin and Digital Money Are Challenging the Global Economic Order by Paul VignaMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
A history of money begins this book on cryptocurrency. Following the history (and interesting philosophy discussion about the meaning of value), the book drills into the history of cryptocurrency and the use of blockchain technology to track its use. The author takes what could be a technical subject and gives just enough description to help non-technical readers understand what is going on when they hear these terms. The book provides a lot of recent history on cryptocurrency, including magazine-style profiles of many leading figures in the industry. Many of the ups and downs of the value of cryptocurrency and attempts at regulation are documented. The book ends with a discussion of the future of cryptocurrency. Written in a popular style, not academic. Good for those wanting a readable introduction.
