About this book

The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking by Saifedean Ammous is a comprehensive and authoritative exploration of Bitcoin and its place in monetary history. In this thought-provoking book, Ammous traces the rise of Bitcoin as an autonomous decentralized software that offers an unstoppable and globally accessible hard money alternative to modern central banks.

By delving into the historical context of money, from primitive trading systems to metals, coins, the gold standard, and government debt, Ammous sets the stage for an economic discussion of Bitcoin’s consequences.
