When you can use your wallet to watch a film or buy a pair of slippers, why choose a book on cryptocurrency?

Pay close attention to the banknotes in your pocket, the credit and debit cards, or the shiny coin that falls out of your pocket. All these are forms of ‘money.'

But what makes ‘money’ valuable? How did it become the monopoly of a few institutions? How do cryptocurrencies fit into this grand scheme?

While the tsunami of cryptocurrency has taken the world by storm, only a tiny percentage is surfing its wave and reaping the benefits.

This book is for everyone, whether you are a consumer, investor, producer, seller or anywhere in between. Riding the cryptocurrency wave may not be a choice anymore!
