"A sober riposte to all the upbeat forecasts about cryptocurrency" - New York Review of Books
"A very convincing takedown of the whole phenomenon" - BBC News

An experimental new Internet-based form of money is created that anyone can generate at home; people build frightening firetrap computers full of video cards, putting out so much heat that one operator is hospitalised with heatstroke and brain damage.

A young physics student starts a revolutionary new marketplace immune to State coercion; he ends up ordering hits on people because they might threaten his great experiment, and is jailed for life without parole.

Fully automated contractual systems are proposed to make business and the law work better; the contracts people actually write are unregulated penny stock offerings whose fine print literally states that you are buying nothing of any value.

The biggest crowdfunding in history attracts $150 million on the promise that it will embody "the steadfast iron will of unstoppable code"; upon release it is immediately hacked, and $50 million is stolen.

How did we get here?

David Gerard covers the origins and history of Bitcoin to the present day, the other cryptocurrencies it spawned including Ethereum, the ICO craze and the 2017 crypto bubble, and the attempts to apply blockchains and smart contracts to business. Plus a case study on blockchains in the music industry.

Bitcoin and blockchains are not a technology story, but a psychology story.

Remember: if it sounds too good to be true, it almost certainly is.

Informative and funny

Revisado en el Reino Unido el 29 de julio de 2017

Some people may have trepidation going into a book on this subject (I certainly do) but the concepts are broken down easily and the underlying psychology will make your jaw drop. It's a tradgicomedy that makes me want to yell at the adverts for etherium currently plastered over canary wharf.

And it's because they've started plastering adverts on billboards that you should read this.

Bitcoin scam?

Revisado en el Reino Unido el 7 de enero de 2018

Compra verificada

Just finished this great rant against Bitcoin, blockchains etc. One of the few critics of this mad fashion, David Granger is also scathingly funny. He characterises the territory as scamland. Put your money, maybe lose it and if not, be unable to get it back out. Hilarious stories of the multiple mishaps, thefts and all the rest. Which otherwise get little to no coverage. See review of this and Book by Tapscotts in Jan 2018 NYRB. See also DG’s website (David Gerard@co.uk) and wiki to get a feel this book.

Gerard’s book ends in December 2016. His afterword says he did not expect the Bitcoin etc to become one the big stories of 2018. This means a second edition bringing the story up to date would be welcome. If so, the book could be made a bit more readable as it’s underwritten (compressed irony/exasperation is a common section ending) with variable formatting and lotsa acronyms.

But for £4.99 on kindle (fiat money as no BTX on Amazon!), its a great read. Might even save you money!

Although seems to be written quite quickly and not with a normal long -term and in-depth research as accepted from such books. It seems the author is well versed in the crypto currency ecosystem and has aggregated several articles into one book. However the reason it gets a high rating and is a must read is because it is one of the few book out there that is highly critical of the future of bit-coins and crypto currency. It adds a necessary balance to all the plethora of positive literature about the future of bit-coins,ethereum etc.I may not agree with everything he says but it gives you are very good and different perspective to the ongoing debate of the future of crypto currencies.

This book will NOT explain how to "get rich quick in bitcoin" and thats why I like it.
That, and the fact that it's brilliant. We need more books like this!

Aiming a dart at the bitcoin bubble

Revisado en el Reino Unido el 8 de abril de 2018

Compra verificada

A perfect gift for older (and non tech savvy) relatives who ask you "what are these bitcoins I keep hearing about then?", this is a barbed, critical exposé of the world of cryptocurrencies.
Crypto "investment" opportunities are mainstream enough now that they get advertised on UK railway billboards alongside the latest Thomas Cook deals and chick-lit blockbuster novels, yet few people are aware of the lies, greed, delusion, and fraud that permeates this sector.
If you know anyone who is aiming to "get rich quick" from these new-fangled bitcoins, ethereums, or some random cryptocurrencies that a teenage hacker invented in his bedroom last night, get them to read this first. It offers many cautionary tales for would-be investors, and it's laugh-out-loud funny in places too.
My only criticism of this book is that it's a bit short, considering the price. Nearly a third of it consists of the glossary and index. Also, this is very much a primer for newbies - if you're already familiar with the crypto world, most of this info will not be new to you, and you would be better off reading the articles on the author's (excellent) website.
All in all though, a great book, a timely warning, and I salute Mr. Gerard for making this available to the world.
