Consensusland: A Cryptocurrency Utopia


Book Description

""Entertaining and fascinating. The prose is crisp and engaging, the voice confident, and the plot skillfully imagined."" -- Readers' Favorite Book Review In this blockchain version of Gulliver's Travels, a businessman gets the offer of a lifetime from the tiny, island country of Consensusland, but the catch is troubling: give up everything he knows about business and finance on a leap of faith in cryptocurrency and the power of blockchain. Will he take that leap? Possibly the first fiction book about blockchain, Consensusland infuses a strong narrative with dramatic realism to show readers how the world changes when it uses cryptocurrency, not cash. ""This book answers, in a very clever and engaging way, the question of what a society running on the blockchain could look like. But really, it goes deeper than that, intertwining allegory to capture a lot of the current debate amidst the naysayers that are resistant to change."" -- Misha Yurchenko, author, ""Bullish on Bitcoin""

Book Description

"Ripple is interesting in that it's the only other system that does something with trust besides concentrate it into a central server." This is what Satoshi Nakamoto (the Bitcoin inventor) said about Ripple & XRP in 2009. Probably because of this, Bitcoin maximalists later offered 500 USD each for spreading negative information about Ripple & XRP. Much of this false information still persists. In this book you will learn why RIPPLE & XRP is a very special cryptocurrency and how you can benefit from it. After reading this book, you will understand why establishing a new global financial infrastructure through Ripple is only the first step of a mission they are already further along than many people think.

After reading this book you will understand what is the difference between Ripple and XRP how Ripple is establishing a new financial infrastructure and what they have already achieved what the vision of the Internet of Value means to all of us what role the cryptocurrency XRP plays and what potential it has why XRP is not in competition with Bitcoin and all other digital currencies how you can buy XRP in Europe and store it safely how you can meet the XRP community

Cryptoassets: The Guide to Bitcoin, Blockchain, and Cryptocurrency for Investment Professionals


Book Description

Bitcoin, blockchain, and cryptocurrencies burst onto the world stage in 2008, when the online posting of a pseudonymous white paper provided a vision of a new way to transfer value over the internet. In the decade-plus since, the cryptoasset market has gone through all the classic phases of a disruptive technology: massive bull markets and crushing pullbacks, periods of euphoria and moments of despair, FOMO (fear of missing out), fear, and everything in between. As the cryptomarket enters its second decade, one thing is clear: Crypto is not going away. Cryptoasset markets are rallying toward new all-time highs, and many of the world’s largest investors and financial institutions are getting involved. Investors looking into crypto, however, face significant challenges. The quality of information is poor. Theories about the drivers of cryptoasset valuations are untested and often poorly designed, and they are rarely—if ever—published in peer-reviewed journals. Due diligence efforts from leading consultants are in their infancy, and few people have carefully thought through the role (if any) that cryptoassets should have in a professionally managed portfolio. More fundamentally, few people even understand what crypto really is or why it might matter. Is it an alternative currency? A technology? A venture capital investment? A specious bubble? The goal of this document is to provide the inquisitive investor with a clear-eyed guide to crypto and blockchain: what they are, what they are not, and where they might go from here.




Virtual Currencies and Beyond


Book Description

New technologies are driving transformational changes in the global financial system. Virtual currencies (VCs) and the underlying distributed ledger systems are among these. VCs offer many potential benefits, but also considerable risks. VCs could raise efficiency and in the long run strengthen financial inclusion. At the same time, VCs could be potential vehicles for money laundering, terrorist financing, tax evasion and fraud. While risks to the conduct of monetary policy seem less likely to arise at this stage given the very small scale of VCs, risks to financial stability may eventually emerge as the new technologies become more widely used. National authorities have begun to address these challenges and will need to calibrate regulation in a manner that appropriately addresses the risks without stifling innovation. As experience is gained, international standards and best practices could be considered to provide guidance on the most appropriate regulatory responses in different fields, thereby promoting harmonization and cooperation across jurisdictions.

Crypto


Book Description

This book contains three books, which are the following: Book 1 - The acceptance of Bitcoin is growing, with many hoping that one day it will be widely used for online shopping and other digital transactions. Major companies like Fiverr, TigerDirect, and Zynga have already started accepting payments in Bitcoin. While Bitcoin is functional, critics argue that it is not yet ready for mainstream adoption due to its volatility. They also point to past incidents, such as the hacking of Bitcoin exchanges, which resulted in significant financial losses. Book 2 - The history of Bitcoin is both fascinating and complex. Developed by an anonymous group of mathematicians, Bitcoin emerged in 2008 with the intention of becoming "virtual gold," and its first software was released in early 2009 during the peak of the U.S. recession. Recognizing the need for long-term value, similar to gold, its creators capped the supply at 21 million Bitcoins. Bitcoin mining, the process by which new Bitcoins are generated, involves "miners" using specialized software to solve intricate mathematical problems, earning Bitcoins as a reward. Book 3 - In this book, I'll introduce you to the world of blockchains, exploring what they are, how they came about, their applications, and the various topics that surround them. It's not surprising that the technology behind blockchains is unfamiliar to many; it seems to be known mainly by those in the financial sector. This makes sense, as that's where the technology originated and where it continues to thrive. By the time you finish this book, you'll be familiar with a new technology that you may not have previously understood. You'll gain insight into a system that, with careful study and research, has the potential to revolutionize various industries in the future.
