How about any other people who are reading this book? Why are you reading it?

Thoughts?


Same reasons as you, Alex. I think that blockchain is here to stay. I've compared Bitcoin to Netscape Navigator--it's the first major player in the game and is destined to flame out, but the underlying technology is sound. My take, anyway. I have a few books in my pile right now but I am hoping to get to this one this weekend.

I read the introduction and a few of Satoshi's posts. I thought it was worthwhile reading because the author points out the difference between money, which has a limited supply and as such would hold its value, and currency--like the current US monetary system, which is not linked to the gold standard--which does not have a limited supply and does not necessarily hold its value, such that inflation is more prevalent and even chronic.
At some point, I'll reread it.
(Note: Because this book was the only one nominated, by default, it is now this month's group read.)
