Cryptocurrency Digital Revolution - Edward Becker
Cryptocurrency
The Digital Revolution
By Edward Becker
I think the internet is going to be one of the major forces for reducing the role of government. The one thing that’s missing but that will soon be developed, is a reliable e-cash.
- Professor Milton Friedman, a Nobel Prize winner in economics -1999
Introduction
Bitcoin, Bitcoin, Bitcoin... you may have heard of it at this point. Is it the next era of money? Unlikely, but we can’t know for certain. One thing is for sure. The technology behind these cryptocurrencies is permanent. And at the very least, based on the past, you could have already benefited from them a lot. Major changes are coming and you don’t want to be left behind once it hits. This book will help you to understand digital currencies, benefits these currencies offer, and ideas where we are likely heading towards in the digital future.
First things first. Yes, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have experienced incredible growth and media exposure in 2017 and then violent downwards movement in 2018. Anybody familiar with cryptos or Bitcoin most likely has some sort of opinion. Now if you have heard of Bitcoin by something like mainstream news, friends, family whatever, but never bothered to actually research it yourself, I can imagine you may be thinking something like: but it’s already too late, Bitcoin is way too expensive for me. Anyway, it’s going to crash.
Then after it goes down you are too afraid to buy again and in the worst case scenario later regret and buy in out of greed to not miss out. Bitcoin tends to act like traditional assets exaggerated by ten folds. By this statement I mean just like any asset class, Bitcoin goes through market cycles over the years but behaves far more aggressive. Compare the S&P 500 Index movement of 2016 $1860 to 2018 $2870 back to below $2500, against exactly the same three dates in Bitcoin price; $397, $11 800, and below $4000.
Here’s some facts. The internet has by far made more millionaires in the last decade than any other medium. Even during the peak popularity of late 2017 , only roughly 1% of the total population of internet users own any cryptocurrency. Yes, 1%! Well, actually less than 1% as at the time of writing this book. Therefore, if only 1% of the total internet users own any Bitcoin, is it too late to join? What would the price of a single Bitcoin be if 5% of internet users started to use it? What if cryptocurrencies are eventually going to be perceived as a normal way of payment and money? Now here is where the speculation part easily carries over. In this book, you will learn all the advantages and disadvantages of digital money.
The very first digital currency Bitcoin promises quick peer to peer transactions, without the need for a middleman like bank. You may know Bitcoin, but have you ever heard of blockchain? Blockchain is the core technology that allows cryptocurrencies to function the way they do. I’m giving you this book as an unbiased starting point on your journey to the digital revolution. You may be surprised how rapidly our technology is evolving nowadays. As an early adopter there’s also a lot of money to be made but let me be clear here. You need to know what you are doing. Read carefully through this book, and I can guarantee you will actually know way more about cryptocurrencies than the majority of people who own Bitcoin.
Okay. I keep repeating the word cryptocurrency. What is a cryptocurrency? Cryptocurrency is defined as a digital currency in which encryption is used to regulate the generation of units of the currency, verifying the transfer of funds, operating independently. What about the other cryptocurrencies, known as altcoins? If cryptocurrency gets really popular we can expect even altcoins worth pennies today be worth - who knows what- in near future. Many cryptocurrencies aren’t even necessarily currencies, as their prime focus isn’t to function as a currency. Who knows what great innovations there will be? Bitcoin as of now certainly isn’t perfect, and its overall practical implementation into our daily lives like a regular currency is not there yet. What if an altcoin manages to solve all the major problems and actually replaces Bitcoin?
This is obviously just an unlikely speculation, but what would the price be if such happens? This is just an idea to make you think about the possibilities new technology brings with it. There’s a lot of speculation when it comes to Bitcoin’s future. Price predictions ranging from 0$ to 1,000,000$ per Bitcoin. You can find a bunch of theories & support for both.
Some topics in this book are somewhat simplified in order to give you a better understanding of cryptocurrency and its technology. Though we will touch some more advanced topics later on.
What can you expect?
First, I want to thank you for your interest in cryptocurrencies and for choosing my book. I hope you are open to the idea of this imaginary internet money
as many perceive it at first. Yes, I will admit partly myself too. Well, after all, dogecoin
is a legitimate currency with noticeable value, while having no actual development, so it’s rather understandable I guess. Anyway, we have to keep in mind that everything changes. Not too long ago there wasn’t even the concept of money
as of a dollar. For example, when do you think was the first United States Dollar officially exchanged? Go and Google it and you will find out it was in 1792.
This book contains a clear, realistic introduction to the blockchain, giving you an idea of what it is and what it is being used for, what are the benefits before moving on to the future of the blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and why it has such potential. We will also take an honest review of all the major risks and downsides of cryptocurrencies, helping you decide whether you want to be involved with them or not, hence we will go through arguments from both ends of the spectrum. It is difficult to find unbiased and factual (which is somewhat subjective anyway...) information on cryptocurrencies. Ask a person owning cryptocurrencies, which is the best cryptocurrency out there? They'll give the coin they own the most. But don't just take my word for it, learn things yourself, and remember... cryptocurrencies like everything else is merely a tool to manipulate consumer decisions in a way. Despite the benefits, it is still just another form of manipulation. Including this book. The difference however, is that Bitcoin, unlike the food, TV shows, social media etc. could actually greatly benefit you. Note the word *could*. And that is where this book comes into play. Let's not already make things overcomplicated, we will go through the overcomplicated technical stuff more than enough. Still remember dogecoin? I actually checked for other rather interesting
coins, and apparently, there are coins like, pokecoin
($0.000113 each) and antiBitcoin
($0.010013 each). Yes, you definitely should stay away from these types of coins, including many others.
When it comes to cryptocurrencies, there is a lot of misinformation out there. More specifically, we humans like to simplify things. It is okay to try and simplify the underlying ideas but try to remember there is also a lot of uncertainty with this technology, hence why we go through multiple different views, arguments and ideas. Our primary focus along with the currencies and Bitcoin will be on the blockchain, as it’s the most important aspect to understand. Once you realize the concept of blockchain, you will better understand all the basics principles of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Finally, I will provide you with the basics and practical points on how to actually get into cryptocurrencies, as well as ideas and resources to learn more and optimize your income with them. Are cryptocurrencies a get-rich-quick scheme? One may ask. Actually, yes, they kind of are. Ready to do get rich? Hold on, you will have to read the book first. On a serious note though, let’s begin.
Educating yourself on the topic of cryptocurrency and its technology as early as you can is absolutely crucial. Many have compared the current state of crypto money to the 1996~ state of the internet. Whatever the case, it’s safe to assume at least
