Overview

This book provides a sober, rigorous and unbiased analysis of bitcoin to understand if, apart from the doubtless technological ingenuity, it has the characteristics to make it what it claims to be: a new form of money. To do this, the book is constructed on three truly distinctive pillars: a macroeconomic approach to the phenomenon of cryptocurrencies, a historical perspective aimed at highlighting their structural features, and a focus on the ideology underlying their conception and diffusion.
