Read With Me: Andreas Antonopoulos – “The Internet of Money” Chapter 2: Peer-to-Peer Money

By Brian in Chicago on July 24, 2019 • ( 0 )

This is part 2 of the Internet of Money series I’ve been posting.

I’ve been reading one of Andreas Antonopoulos’ books “The Internet of Money.” As I am reading it, I am understanding the underlying fundamentals of bitcoin/cryptocurrencies in a much more real-world context. Bitcoin is not just digital money- it’s an underlying technology than enables human behavior in a way we’ve not had, on a scale we’ve not had…ever. It is these reasons that gets me so excited for bitcoin. It is not only an expression of value, it is an expression of human sovereignty and cooperation that allows for anyone, and everyone, to participate, and in a non-coercive way.

The book is composed of individual talks Andreas gave, and many of them have an accompanying video. I will be sharing these in a series of posts.

Enjoy, and be well, Everyone. Go bitcoin.

From Chapter 2: Peer-to-Peer Money

Money is an ancient technology. In this presentation, Andreas M. Antonopoulos examines the historical context of money as a technology and analyses the inflection points that lead to the most recent innovation of peer-to-peer money. This talk was delivered on September 26th 2015 for the “Reinvent Money” conference at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, the Netherlands
