Title: BLOCK55 a Novel that contains a whitepaper to a new form of currency Post by: Nadine000 on August 28, 2017, 09:15:34 PM I received from a friend the book "Block55" by Michael Marcovici, I found him, the author, also participating in an ICO this year. However there is an interesting whitepaper included in the book that describes a cryptocurrency that works like credit money, does anyone know this book and has evaluated the whitepaper, it sounds very interesting actually.

I suspect that this is another one of his "jokes".

I did not ask anyone to purchase the book or alike or know the author.
The book contains an interesting concept of what is called there crypto credit money, I have not seen other currencies build in this way and I wanted to see if anyone here knows the book or the concept. Its some type of borrowing against assets and creating a new currency with a fractional reserve just the way banks do it. I am an economist myself but not a big expert in cryptocurrencies thats why I reached out, if I posted in the wrong section then sorry, just let me know what would then be the right place. |
