Was reading this every now and then and haven't had the time to finish it just yet, though I would say that the author never forget the tiny little bits about the what and the why's that people often ask when it comes to bitcoin. The book also explained why inflation, or rather the severity of it, is almost always bad, and how bitcoin can try to help people get over it. I haven't finished it yet but I would say that it will get you reading for hours on end if your mind is clear from responsibilities and tasks that you have to do for the day lol.
Sounds like you are a busy person to me. If you find it hard to concentrate reading ebooks then might as well switch to a paperback one, I too find it hard to concentrate when it comes to reading in devices. I have never heard of this book since bitcoin is still lying in the middle ground of being unpopular and popular, hopefully I could read this one in the future but right now, I am as busy as the person in the quote.

Description

Bitcoin is hard money you can’t f*ck with.

No-one controls it. No governments, no companies, no central banks, no money printing. It’s a revolution as big as the internet. And it’s never been hacked.

Entrepreneur and investor Jason A. Williams is the first author to put bitcoin in context of the 2020 crisis - a year of financial disaster and unprecedented money creation (money printer go brrr!)

Not only was bitcoin the best-performing asset on the planet in 2020, it quietly established itself as the next global reserve currency as central banks around the world desperately printed their money into oblivion.

Hard Money You Can’t F*ck With explains bitcoin in simple, readable terms and maps out how this ‘magic internet money’ will grow into the best form of money we’ve ever had.


Never read the book but based on the description it is true that Bitcoin is the best performing form of currency we've ever had because Bitcoin is just a new form of money that performs very well since the day it was created and it now has been embraced by companies and institutional investors throughout the world.

No, unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to read it yet. Thanks for your suggestion. I'm going to add it to my ever-growing list of books that I need to read.  Wink

The subject seems interesting and I'm just curious about @GoingParabolic's view of bitcoin in the light of the 2020 crisis.

I don't have the time to read a whole book though I might reconsider just for this book since this is for free.
Unless you literally work like 12-16 hours per day and have no time left for yourself, then you should probably fix your priorities if you "don't have the time" for personal growth. Tongue

So the next question for me is: Can we have a global reserve currency that is spurned by influential countries like China, Russia and even India?
If we reach to a point where Bitcoin is actually poised to become a global reserve currency, then countries that have sort of "rejected" Bitcoin might have no choice but to accept it; depending on how big of the percentage of the pie Bitcoin gets.

I don't have the time to read a whole book though I might reconsider just for this book since this is for free. I agree that Bitcoin has a good chance to be the next world reserve currency though getting there will never be an easy task as it should be accepted by governments and merchants just like how the USA Dollar got into the game. China is planning to overtake the dollar and dominate the global economy and this can be the reason why its government is never fond of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. Hey, China is a control freak and anything they can't control is something they don't want nor will accept. Of course, we also have Russia and India, just two big countries that are not so willing to give a free entrance to Bitcoin. So the next question for me is: Can we have a global reserve currency that is spurned by influential countries like China, Russia and even India?

Yes, I read it before xMas, and rather much enjoyed the read (read the book pretty fast, which is normally an indication that it’s engaging):

Bitcoin: Hard money you can’t f*ck with is not really a beginner’s book, nor a non-beginner’s book either. It strips the technical narrative of bitcoin (slight references to it of course), and focuses rather more on the economic potential that it has, not so much from a speculative point of view, but as hard money. This is the pivoting centre point.<…>
On afterthought, it’s perhaps a little bit overhyped in terms of tone and optimism, buy definitively worth a read to get a narrative on bitcoin as money.

Another interesting read is "Bitcoin Billionaires", by Ben Mezrich. The book describes how the Winklevoss twins got involved with bitcoin after the Facebook settlement, and how they gradually turned it into their running horse after hearing about it in Ibiza. This book is more novel type structured (the basis for the upcoming film).
