In the pdf you will find a first draft of: table of contents, introduction and the first chapter.
As its only a draft and english is not my mother language, you will probably find some spelling and grammar mistakes, obviously those will be resolved
Table of contents and the introduction is to give you a more general view of what i'm doing.
The first chapter talks about the traditional money systems we know (from an historical point of view). The goal was to describe the evolution in money technology through transaction friction, meaning, how much easier it is to make a transaction. I choose 4 historical points in money evolution: Barter, Commodity money, fiat and electronic payment systems. I still missing the description of this evolution through transaction friction cause i still not sure how to approach it (suggestions are very welcome !) because it's a key concept for the whole work. Basing a good explanation about the evolution of money through transaction friction makes it very obvious what are the advantages of technologies such as bitcoin. The thing that guides me is imagining a simple chart (as below) where the y's are trisection friction and the x's is time. as time goes by and money technology becomes more advanced, transaction friction is reduced.
Any suggestions and comments are very welcome !!!!!
