Bitcoin: Weapon of Mass Creation

by Michael Slack

Outrageous evil scam or liberator of the people. Bitcoin has been described as many things. So this story has a bit of everything. Love & hate. Fear & greed. Outlandish characters. Secrecy & transparency. Individuals & global movements. Innovation & incompetence. Fortunes made and lost. History and what may lie ahead. And last but not least - pizza…Weapon of Mass Creation is designed to enable you to explore Bitcoin & blockchain without being overwhelmed by too much technobabble. Where does Bitcoin sit in the overall history of money, where did it come from and how does it work. Bitcoin has a wonderful combination of commercial, technical and creative facets as well as its pure entertainment value.The book is deliberately brief in the hope that it’s just enough to light the blue touch paper of your curiosity. Indeed, in the spirit of Blaise Pascal (the French mathematician and philosopher) - if I had more time, I would have written an even shorter book.Kick back and enjoy the ride.
