"Insightful, poetic, and easy to read! A new addition to my top recommended Bitcoin readings.” - Seb Bunney, Author The Hidden Cost of Money
"Our focus forms the value structure that makes money work. Attention is the arbiter of value. It is an organizing principle for value. Where more people look, value increases. What we pay attention to we charge with value. Hence the phrase “pay attention." - Joseph Voelbel
This book is a crash course primer on bitcoin. Its punchy, concise style is meant to be readable by someone who has never heard of the subject matter and simply wants to know more. Occasional language herein pulls from an emergent glossary surrounding the topic, but will be accompanied with an explanation as to why.
    The opening chapter contains the thesis of the book, that money has evolved over time, from seashells to gold to credit cards, and that digital cryptocurrency is the next step in that evolution. The primary thread behind this evolution is that currency – in whatever form – is fueled by attention and that attention en masse acts as a sort of “judge, jury, and executioner” for money’s variegated forms.
    The reader will find amidst its pages the eminent history of gold, the inimitable role of The Federal Reserve and all Central Banks, the origination of bitcoin and the financial soothsayers that envisioned its creation, (e.g., John Nash, Bucky Fuller, H.A. Hayek, and Milton Friedman) the meaning of “sound money” and how bitcoin’s characteristics conform to it, as well as rudimentary technical explanations of how bitcoin works and why.
