520 ""Bitcoin poses the right question, but gives the wrong
answer," write Luca Fantacci and Massimo Amato in this
lucid and highly original treatment of the cryptocurrency
phenomenon. A Fistful of Bitcoins uncovers the paradoxes
of the first "digital cash" to achieve global attention: a
disruptive payment infrastructure married to a dangerous
and deflationary monetary system. From the cryptographic
protocols to the quasi-religious ideologies and the
retrograde monetary theories supporting Bitcoin, the
authors reflect on what Bitcoin gets right and
disastrously wrong about our current monetary predicament.
With implications for monetary theory and policy, the
prospect of central bank-issued digital currencies, and
the future of blockchain-based applications, this book
will be of interest beyond economics, political science
and management for a general public concerned about not
just what money is but what money might -- and should --
become."--|cProvided by Freading.
