In Catching Up to Crypto: Your Guide to Bitcoin and the New Digital Economy, celebrated crypto and Bitcoin expert Ben Armstrong delivers an exciting and fresh new exploration of Bitcoin and digital currencies. He explains what Bitcoin is, how it works, and how and why we're all transitioning to a digital economy as we speak.

In the book, you'll discover how Bitcoin operates in the real-world and how the underlying technology—known as the blockchain—operates. You'll also learn about: the importance of decentralization, trust-less commerce and cryptographic consensus; the humble origins of Bitcoin, as well as how it nearly died out, and how it went on to take over the world; and how monetary and financial policy is being revolutionized by the introduction of Bitcoin and other crypto-assets.
