The orange pill

Orange Pille

Why Bitcoin is far more than just a new money by Ijoma Mangold?

In his book, literary critic Ijoma Mangold reveals why he too was infected by the hype surrounding cryptocurrency.

In the movie “Matrix”, the hero has to decide whether to take the blue or the red pill. The blue one makes him forget, the red one makes him realize the truth about the world. Based on this, Bitcoin is called “the orange pill”, because anyone who deals with it becomes aware of the power of Wall Street and central banks in our world. And Bitcoin promises liberation from this: it is independent of central authorities such as banks and cannot be manipulated by them. Mangold describes with knowledge and passion how even he, the literary critic, fell under the fascination of Bitcoin and why it is not just a digital currency, but a system of freedom and justice.

The Bitcoin standard

DerBitcoinStandard

In The Bitcoin Standard, economist Saifedean Ammous guides the reader through the fascinating history of different forms of money. He explores what gave these different technologies their monetary status and how they lost it, what this teaches us about the desirable properties of money, and how Bitcoin seeks to fulfill them.

Ammous explains the economic, social, cultural and political benefits of sound money and contrasts them with our current monetary system. This creates an informed debate about the meaningful role Bitcoin could play in the future of the global economy. Rather than attributing it the role of a currency for criminals or a cheap payment network for the masses, this book describes bitcoin as an emerging, decentralized, politically neutral, and free-market alternative to national central banks. An alternative that has potentially huge implications for the freedom and prosperity of every individual.

For anyone wanting to get a clear picture of this new digital money, The Bitcoin Standard is an essential resource.

21 Lessons – My Journey Down the Bitcoin Rabbit Hole

21lektionen

This is a slightly more unusual book. But hey, Bitcoin is a slightly more unusual technology, so a more unusual book on Bitcoin might be appropriate. This book came about because of a simple question: “What have you learned from Bitcoin?” I believe Bitcoin is the most important invention of our time and more people need to understand the nature of this invention.

Bitcoin is still one of the most misunderstood phenomena of our modern world and it took me years to fully appreciate the importance of this alien technology. Realizing what bitcoin is and how it will transform our society is a profound experience.
