What is Introduction to Bitcoin about?<\/h2>\n

The book is about how money arises and how it is engineered. Hilbay offers mostly a historical survey of the characteristics of money and what they mean for all of us.<\/p>\n

His thesis is that Bitcoin has many of the traditional characteristics of sound money, as well as the attributes sound money should have given the problems of our time.<\/p>\n
