Hey guys,

I've decided to release my book on bitcoin entitled Bitcoin: An Internet of Money for $1 for the next 48 hours to the bitcointalk community.

This publication is essentially the culmination of some of my work into the bitcoin space, and is an attractive piece for bitcoin enthusiasts, investors, entrepreneurs, writers, and researchers. If you are someone who wishes to gain an understanding not just of bitcoin, but the larger trend towards decentralization and digital money, this book is for you.

The book begins by examining the basics of bitcoin, then gets into the political-economics implications of the separation between the state and money. This transformation is one which will cause massive implications on the way we work and live. Anyone who purchases a copy of this book will get newer versions as they are released.

I added an option to the poll: The Bitcoin Era: An Internet of Money

What do you think of that?

Thanks for the feedback.

I like 'The Bitcoin Revolution' too, but am not sure someone can call anything revolutionary while it is still being adopted, only from a  historical perspective does it make sense.

This is called market research. Businesses do it all the time.

Perhaps you should try reading the book before leaving such a shallow comment?

I don't talk at length about alt-coins in the book. I make a case for only investing in those with a specific use case.

Thanks for the advice and comments.

No.

It's an Internet of Money.

Thank you for all who vote!

If you have another suggestion, please leave it in the comments here. If you're interested, you can buy an early copy of the book and have the updated versions emailed to you automatically!

All hail the great anonymous wizard Satoshi Nakamoto.

Thanks for the comment.

What the article is trying to express, is the fallacy of many existing firms approaching this technology with a 20th century mindset. We were recently in NYC for a bitcoin bankers conference, and there was endless discussion about "separating bitcoin from the blockchain" and how "blockchain is the real innovation, not bitcoin".

Simply put, this article attempts to illustrate why this is not feasible and why many firms and enthusiasts are not looking at this concept of money in the correct light.

For more on this evolution of our money supply, check out our 2015 Bitcoin Investor's Report.

Bitcoin pays dividends in the capital gains of each unit of currency.

The business model is a trustless, electronic payment system.

When an individual makes a transaction on the bitcoin network, no actual currency is moved. That is, no file has moved. No commodity or asset has moved. No private or public key has moved. Rather, the only thing which changes is the percentage of the blockchain ledger which User A & B claim control over. When a transaction occurs in the realm of bitcoin, the image of the blockchain is altered. Nothing ever changes but the composition of the blockchain record.

The blockchain is a recorded snapshot of the bitcoin digital economy.

Money is now an image, rather than something which can be separated from the system itself. This image of money is being constructed, altered, and verified by the thousands of machines acting as miners across the globe, and it’s a composition on public display for all to see. The miners are the painters of this network composition. The users, the brush and strokes.

IT’S A CURRENCY… IT’S A COMMODITY… NO, IT’S CRYPTOCURRENCY

Cryptocurrency is a financial asset in a class of its own. In truth, it is a combination of all the aforementioned traditional assets: currency, commodity, and stock.

Cryptocurrency is not exclusively a currency because, as is with the bitcoin payment system, it represents a paradigm shift in our concept of money – one where there is no division between currency and the system which it flows through. Furthermore, the current rate of volatility of bitcoin makes it unsuitable as a sound form of money, although it has the potential to act as an remarkable monetary tool as stabilization continues to take effect.

Cryptocurrency is also not exclusively a commodity. In comparison to gold, bitcoin shares many characteristics of scarcity and indestructibility. However, it gains the potent attributes of perfect divisibility and high portability. Bitcoin may accurately be considered a form of digital gold.

Can we keep something between just me and you? You're clearly on to something.

What were are planning to do here is get a bunch of the bitcoin users in one group, expose them, then capture all their personal information. This is actually just a front for that very purpose.

Once we have all this accomplished, we will download spyware onto their computer and steal all their bitcoin.

But please, don't say anything.

The group is very new so it takes some effort on my part to kickstart the group with postings, comments, etc.

It is my hope as more people join, it will take on a life of its own.

Not sure what you're talking about but would be interested if you could elaborate.

Hi Guys,

I am putting together a regular bitcoin meetup in the Toronto area and am looking for collaborators and enthusiasts. Ideally, this group would meet weekly or every 2 weeks to discuss bitcoin from a business/economic perspective and also some of the software development of bitcoin technologies.

I already have a meetup group going here: http://meetup.com/diginomics

And a website going here: https://diginomics.com

If you are interested in helping out and growing the group, I am looking for the follow:

• Meetup venue we can use regularly, conductive to presentations
• Someone skilled with video, multimedia, and live streaming
• Someone skilled with event marketing and general coordination

If you know anyone who also might be interested, send them my way. You can send me a PM on here, or reply in this thread.

If you are interested in joining our bitcoin community, PM me your email and I can add you to the list.

This is true. We are in fact trusting the network 100% not to go belly up. (or 51% attack)

Hi Guys,

I've been quietly putting something together for the last little while, and I wanted to share it with the BitcoinTalk community here. Essentially, what I am offering for free here today in exchange for joining our online community, is a investment report on bitcoin and the state of cryptocurrency for the year of 2015.


Here's what you can expect:

• Bitcoin Value Assessment
• Cryptocurrency as a Tax Haven
• Blockchain Technology Can Transform Banking
• Costs & Benefits of Phasing Out Physical Money

And here's a brief description:

2015 has brought with it a host of developments within the bitcoin industry. Most notably is the recognition of blockchain technology to power frictionless payments from institutional players in finance such as NASDAQ, the NYSE, and Citibank which are all actively making moves to position themselves in this emerging digital economy – one where opportunity is ripe for the individuals and teams who claim an early stake in this realm of borderless, digital commerce.

In this bitcoin value report, Travis Patron outlines some of the emerging trends of adoption we can expect to see in the financial industry while anticipating what may lead bitcoin to act as a global tool of payment in the coming months and years.

Get your hands on this free report and understand why companies and individuals are staking their claim in a new, 21st century digital gold rush.
