Summary:
"The dramatic rise of the digital money called Bitcoin and the fascinating personalities who are striving to create a new global money for the Internet age. Bitcoin is the online payment system invented by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008, and released as peer-to-peer open-source software in 2009. The notion of a new currency, maintained by the computers of users around the world, has grown into a technology worth billions of dollars. Believers see the potential for a financial system free from banks and governments. More than just a tech industry fad, Bitcoin has threatened to decentralize some of society's most basic institutions. Digital Gold charts the rise of the Bitcoin technology through the eyes of the movement's colorful central characters, including a British anarchist, an Argentinian millionaire, a Chinese entrepreneur, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, and Bitcoin's elusive creator. Already, Bitcoin has led to untold riches for some, and prison terms for others"--Provided by publisher.
