Bitcoin vs Altcoins<\/strong> is a book by Phil Champagne about the debate between Bitcoin and other coins and blockchain projects. This is the English softcover.<\/p>\n

What is Bitcoin vs Altcoins about?<\/h2>\n

Champagne asks why the discussion about which project is best gets so heated, when that hardly happens in other asset classes such as stocks. He raises questions like: does it matter that other coins exist, and how would things have gone if Bitcoin had been the only one since 2009?<\/p>\n

He covers gold and silver, real estate, Proof-of-Debt, the consensus mechanisms Proof-of-Work, Proof-of-Stake and Proof-of-Authority, smart contracts, the Lightning Network, decentralization, resilience and network effect. His starting point: a coin's resistance to manipulation is only as strong as its consensus mechanism and its network effect.<\/p>\n
