About this listen
Bitcoin isn't just for criminals, speculators, or wealthy Silicon Valley entrepreneurs—despite what the headlines say. In an imperfect world of rampant inflation, creeping authoritarianism, surveillance, censorship, and financial exclusion, bitcoin empowers individuals to elude the expanding reach and tightening grip of institutions both public and private. So although bitcoin is money, it isn't just money. Bitcoin is resistance money.
Resistance Money: A Philosophical Case for Bitcoin begins by explaining why bitcoin was invented, how it works, and where it fits among other kinds of money. The authors then offer a framework for evaluating bitcoin from a global perspective and use it to examine bitcoin's monetary policy, censorship-resistance, privacy, inclusion, and energy use. Resistance Money is intended for all, from the clueless to the specialist, from the proponent to the die-hard skeptic, and everyone in between.
Key Features:
● Offers a clearly written, measured academic treatment of bitcoin
● Includes information on the financial, social, and environmental costs of bitcoin
● Addresses the strongest arguments against bitcoin and shows how most come up short.
