Bitcoin: L’infini divisé par 21 millions

by Knut Svanholm, Jeff Booth (Foreword), Fanis Michalakis (Foreword)

Nous sommes tous enchaînés à la flèche impitoyable du temps. Nous naissons, nous vivons, et nous vieillissons. Du moins, c’est comme cela que nous espérons que les choses se déroulent. Puis, nous mourrons. Aucun d’entre nous n’est millionnaire en termes d’heures. Pourtant, nous sacrifions notre bien le plus précieux et le plus rare – notre temps – simplement pour rester en vie et continuer à vivre le stress du quotidien. En cherchant à é pargner du temps de la même façon que l’on épargnerait de l’argent, Satoshi a découvert par hasard un nouvel élément rare, à masse nulle et en quantité absolument limitée. Le coup de grâce pour tous les voleurs de temps. L’élément zéro. Bitcoin. L’offre limitée de bitcoin fait de lui l’objet inamovible qui nous permet à tous de devenir une force inarrêtable. « Parce qu’en vérité, le système, c’est nous. Chacune de nos actions et chacun de nos choix changent notre monde. C’est ainsi que les idées que nous ne pouvions autrefois concevoir deviennent réalité. Une personne à la fois. » – Extrait de l’avant-propos de Jeff Booth

Knut has a very sophisticated understanding of Bitcoin. This book dives into the social impacts of the zero to one discovery that Bitcoin unlocked. The discovery that money is something that should exist as naturally and immutable as the laws of physics. Gravity follows a set of laws that cannot be changed by human intervention. The Bitcoin protocol functions the same way. A money that exists outside of human control, forever. That's the innovation.

Best Bitcoin Book!

I’ve read about a dozen bitcoin books, and Knut’s latest book is my favourite of all. He dives into the concept of hyperbitcoinization and the inevitability of it. It made me optimistic about the beautiful world we can create for our children and grandchildren.

I’ve read a few Bitcoin books and this may be my favorite. If you’re less interested in the “how” and more interested in the “why” of Bitcoin, this book is for you. Short but lively, addresses issues but offers hope, Everything divided by 21 million is 133 pages of essential orange pill education. 5/5!

If you need a good proselytizing of bitcoin, this is your book. But take into account that the author has his "own interpretation" (?) of history and economics. They may not agree with yours, and peer-reviewed interpretations of what happens in the economy.
But its not a boring read.

An interesting take on financial literacy for anyone interested in learning about money, bitcoin, and the relationship between money and politics. An uncompromising look at the current world through an orange lens... And a thrilling ride.

Started off pretty good. Covered basics bitcoin in first couple of chapters.

After that it’s just author ranting about govt, taxes, freedom etc..

tldr: Your time is limited. Use it wisely.

[Toni Kokkonen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Don’t agree with many of the assumptions of the author but interesting to read someone’s thoughts who is so certain of bitcoin taking over the world.

Obviously the book is way one sided and I bet there are better and certainly more neutral books on the topic.

[Murdawk Media · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bullish.

[Simon Gibson · Rating 1 out of 5]

2022 has totally blown this book to bits. Blockchain is great, Bitcoin has proved to be a Ponzi scheme. I hope the author hasn't lost his shirt.
