Description
About the Book
"Bitcoin (BTC) is a cryptocurrency (a virtual currency) designed to act as money and a form of payment outside the control of any one person, group, or entity. This removes the need for trusted third-party involvement (e.g., a mint or bank) in financial transactions. It is rewarded to blockchain miners who verify transactions and can be purchased on several exchanges. Bitcoin was introduced to the public in 2009 by an anonymous developer or group of developers using the name Satoshi Nakamoto. It has since become the most well-known and largest cryptocurrency in the world. Its popularity has inspired the development of many other cryptocurrencies"--Book Synopsis

- Trading different cryptocurrencies, both popular and lesser known, through centralized platforms like Binance and decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms like Uniswap

Praise for
THE LITTLE BOOK OF BITCOIN
"The Little Book of Bitcoin explains how this groundbreaking technology fixes our broken money and fosters freedom from financial repression, freedom from transactional censorship, and freedom from seizure. Reckless money printing has broken the backs of American households and funded endless wars. Bitcoin provides an offramp from this insanity."
--ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR., American Politician and Environmental Lawyer
"The Little Book of Bitcoin provides a compelling exploration of Anthony's intellectual journey from bitcoin skeptic to prominent bitcoin investor. The book makes a strong case for incorporating bitcoin ETFs into a diversified portfolio."
--PETE BRIGER, JR., Chairman, Fortress Investment Group
"The Little Book of Bitcoin argues persuasively that bitcoin is inevitable and unstoppable because of spiraling government debt across the globe. Anthony does a terrific job explaining why bitcoin will become a mainstream investment asset that will be broadly owned by individuals, institutions, corporations and governments."
--BRETT S. MESSING, President and Co-Chief Investment Officer, SkyBridge Capital
