In 204 pages The Bitcoin Mainfesto is a Bitcoin call to action. It won't belittle your intelligence with the amateurish sales pitches often surrounding Bitcoin. It won't talk down to you by claiming Bitcoin is something that it can't possibly be. It will talk honestly about the flaws and strengths of Bitcoin, which is missing in much of the discussion now taking place. The Bitcoin Manifesto joins the many voices calling for serious dialogue about the serious future of this technology. "[Bitcoin] is a techno tour de force..." said Bill Gates in a 2013 interview. Gates is right; it is a techno tour de force. Being such an important technology, it's surprising that there are so many lies surrounding Bitcoin. It's opponents lie, it's proponents lie, and anyone watching from the outside of that debate is left clueless. Plenty out there are looking to elevate that debate, including Allan Stevo in The Bitcoin Manifesto. Don't buy this book if you're looking for a "how to guide" or a "Bitcoin for Dummies." Don't buy this book if you are looking for an investment guide. Don't buy this book if you want a Bitcoin puff piece. Buy this book if you want an honest discussion on Bitcoin professionally written by an established entrepreneur and investor. Insightful thought leaders are taking the discussion of Bitcoin to the next level. With the Bitcoin Manifesto, Stevo has put himself among them. Allan Stevo is an entrepreneur and writer based in New York City. As the Chief Market Maker and a founding member of the New York Bitcoin Center, as well as a founding member of several Bitcoin trade organizations and a co-chair of the Digital Finance Committee, Stevo's Bitcoin and Blockchain related work has been documented by over 200 local, national, and international media outlets.

We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims." - R. BUCKMINSTER FULLER In Infinite Returns, Robert--with Kim and their top-notch team of Advisors--delves into how the economic and social climate of 2020 has set the stage for a decade of unprecedented challenges as well as opportunities. He draws on his study of Bucky Fuller for vision and guidance as well as noted economists in comparing and contrasting economic theories, and looks to the future, the decade ahead, through the lens of 'cosmic accounting.' Kiyosaki uses lessons from the past to envision the future and peppers that vision with doses of today's reality... while never losing sight of the power of optimism and the individual's power to affect change--in themselves and in our world. The book includes chapters from Kim, the Rich Dad Advisors, and the Rich Dad business team who offer insights on how to achieve infinite returns: Ken McElroy, Blair Singer, Garrett Sutton, Andy Tanner, Tom Wheelwright, Josh and Lisa Lannon, John MacGregor, Mona Gambetta, and Doctors Radha Gopalan and Nicole Srednicki.

This book explains how the crypto industry started and evolved, and how everything in crypto is ultimately connected. It shows the players behind the $3trn industry (at its peak) and how billions of dollars were lost. "If you want to understand how everything in crypto is related, and why and when crypto prices move up or down, this book is for you." Praise for CRYPTO TITANS “Fortunes are won and lost when transformations happen. Bitcoin is transforming the entire economy, and there will be many fortunes won and lost. But the drumbeat continues. Technology always shines in the end. Read this book. Great lessons learned.” ― Tim Draper, Founder, Draper Associates “This book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the history of crypto. Markus has done an excellent job covering all the important names and stories that have shaped the crypto industry, consistently hitting the nail on the head with accurate analysis to help readers understand the motivations and personal characteristics. I highly recommend this book to anyone.” ― Jihan Wu, Founder, Bitdeer and Matrixport In this book you'll learn: How each of the four crypto bull markets of 2011, 2013, 2017, and 2021 unfolded, the drivers behind them, and what caused prices to correct violently during bear markets How crypto markets naturally progressed, and how everything is therefore related The players involved, and how they have made money—while others have lost large sums. Understanding these points may help the reader to identify the next crypto bull market. The last 3yrs have been the most instrumental in the development of the market, with the adoption level reaching not only individuals but also asset managers and corporate executives—only for the development to be cataclysmically overshadowed by bankruptcies of multi-billion-dollar crypto lending firms and crypto trading desks. Overview: The 1st of the book describes how Bitcoin started as a peer-to-peer payment system, and how the first crypto bubble was facilitated by onramp payment companies in 2011, which mainly funneled money into the notorious Mt. Gox exchange, eventually leading to investors’ funds being stolen. The 2nd analyzes how China embraced Bitcoin and hailed it as a new form of money, which set off a massive speculative bubble in 2013. The 3rd describes how Ethereum got really started and set off the period of initial coin offerings (ICOs) that would lead to the third bull market in 2017. It also identifies the decisions that caused Tether to become the most important stablecoin. The 4th of the book shows how decentralized finance (DeFi) started, and how the speculative mania that was set off by the COVID stimulus checks would reach its peak. Binance became the largest crypto exchange despite its controversies, and effectively dethroned BitMEX as the most important crypto exchange. The crypto trading firms Alameda Research and Three Arrows Capital also became multi-billion-dollar players in the crypto bull market. The 5th of the book takes a deep dive into the 2022 bear market, exploring how crypto spectacularly crashed from a multi-trillion-dollar valuation and why the implosion of the Terra stablecoin caused $60bn to vanish within a few days. The 6th contemplates the events that led to the implosion of Sam Bankman-Fried’s crypto exchange FTX, once valued at $32bn, after a meteoric 4yr rise.

The dominance of trusted intermediaries could be weakened by blockchain, a distributed ledger technology, one of the functions of which is to constitute timestamped proofs by replacing inter-individual trust with algorithmic trust. Blockchain self-executing smart contracts allow us to rethink the practice in the domain of e-commerce, interbank communication, fundraising (and ICOs), justice (timestamping evidence, acts authenticated by blockchain) and businesses in numerous sectors (entertainment, AI, health, real estate, tourism, transport, etc.) which attempt to propose new services by benefiting from blockchains. This book aims to put into perspective the technical innovations and the uses brought about by blockchain, by identifying that which has a medium- or long-term impact, all while taking into account the social, economic, judicial and administrative resistances that are likely to develop.
