Inhaltsangabe
The system that governs how money works, with its brokers and middlemen, has stayed roughly the same for centuries. Now there’s an alternative, and it puts us on the cusp of a revolution that could reshape our world.
At the heart of this lie cryptocurrencies, a technology with the transformative potential of the printing press or the internet. They bypass the elites and cut out the gatekeepers. Unlike traditional money they’re peer-to-peer, they don’t have a nationality, they’re digital and democratic. They are also lawless.
For the Afghani woman denied a bank account by a repressive society, or any of the world’s 2.5 billion unbanked individuals, cryptocurrencies open new possibilities. What would a world without banks or credit cards or even national currencies look like for all of us?
From Silicon Valley to the streets of Beijing, this is a book about a revolution in the making, a story of human invention, and a guide to the future.

About the book >.>.> Even though Parisa Ahmadi was in the top of her class at the all-girls Ha tifi High School in Herat, Afghanistan, her family was initially against her enrolling in classes being offered by a private venture that promised to teach young girls Internet and social-media skills and even pay them for their efforts. "Here in Afghanistan a woman's life is limited by her room's walls and school," she wrote in an e-mail. In Afghanistan, girls are not exposed to the Internet, not at home and not at school. That's the way it might have stayed, too, if Ahmadi hadn't persisted. She was a top student, and she wanted to take even more classes. In her mind, that was reason enough. She pressed her family, by her own admission, "a lot.". Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers Batch-FM212-G-5554
