BITCOIN: An Autopsy Without the Benefit of Death

What the book is about

Bitcoin has been declared dead hundreds of times. At the same time, millions of people see it as the future of money, and others as the biggest investment bubble in history. Most books have already picked a side. This one doesn’t.

• First, it builds the strongest possible case for Bitcoin.
• Then it builds the strongest possible case against it.
• Finally, it leaves the verdict where it belongs – with the reader.

In fact, this is not a book only about Bitcoin. It is a book about investing, uncertainty, trust, institutions, narratives and, above all, human judgment. Bitcoin is simply the hardest case through which these questions can be examined honestly.

Who the book is for

• Investors who are not just looking for confirmation of what they already believe.
• People who want to understand both sides of the most contested investment debate of our time.
• Readers who prefer evidence to slogans, and their own judgment to other people’s convictions.

How it connects to the trilogy

Yoga for Your Money lays the foundations, Financial and Investment Intelligence builds an investment system based on probabilities and risk management, and BITCOIN: An Autopsy Without the Benefit of Death puts that system to its hardest possible test. The book can also be read on its own.

Written in English

The book was originally written in English, for a US and global readership. It relies less on country-specific examples, taxes and prices than the trilogy, so it reads the same wherever you are.
