The Bitcoin Standard

Review ★★★★★

This was my first book on Bitcoin (BTC), recommended by a friend. It explores the history of currency, the future potential of digital money, and the technology behind Bitcoin.

Ammous argues that Bitcoin is a superior form of money and a viable alternative to traditional fiat currencies. The first half of the book provides a thorough review of economic history, which I found particularly insightful. The second half delves into digital currencies, with a primary focus on Bitcoin.

User adoption remains one of the biggest challenges for BTCs growth. While it seems to have made significant progress in that area, the future remains uncertain. Nevertheless, after reading this book, it’s hard not to feel bullish about Bitcoin’s potential.
