From Gold to Bitcoin 2.0

Dmitry Tarasov tells the fascinating history of money, from the first coins to cryptocurrencies. He begins with the Neolithic Revolution, when humans transitioned from hunting to agriculture and were able to accumulate wealth for the first time. It was then that the need for money as a universal medium of exchange arose. Gold became the ideal solution, but over time, the monetary system became increasingly abstract: humanity moved from metal coins to paper money, from backed currencies to fiat currencies based solely on trust.
In 2008, another revolutionary leap occurred with the emergence of Bitcoin. Dmitry Tarasov explains why cryptocurrencies became a logical response to the problems of the traditional financial system, characterized by abuse of power, inflation, and transfer restrictions. Blockchain technology made it possible to create money without a single control center, where every transaction is verified by multiple network participants. The author explains in simple terms how mining works, what DeFi and NFTs are, and why cryptocurrencies are so volatile.
The analysis of how cryptocurrencies are changing society is particularly valuable. In the 10 years since the book's first publication, the Russian cryptocurrency market has grown to 32 trillion rubles, and the number of users has reached 20 million! The author shows how states are moving from attempts at prohibition to regulation, how the culture and values of the new generation are changing, and what opportunities and risks the crypto revolution presents.
