Details

"Are you curious about why Bitcoin matters? ""Shells to Satoshi"" is your guide to understanding the history of money, and why Bitcoin is poised to be the perfect form of money for our digital age.

From the bustling marketplaces of ancient Mesopotamia to the digital wallets of today, ""Shells to Satoshi"" unravels the complex and fascinating history of money as a pivotal force that shapes civilizations. This book is part history, part guide, illustrating the journey of humans to invent and reinvent money, continuously advancing the communication of value, or the corruption of it by its appointed custodians and seekers of power.

As inflation silently erodes your savings, financial instability threatens the banks that hold them, and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) offer governments new tools of economic repression, it is more crucial than ever to understand how money works. This book takes you on a journey through the history of money, from ancient barter systems and the use of shells and beads, to gold coins, paper money, and today's digital currencies. By seeing how money has evolved to meet society's needs, you'll gain a clear perspective on the dangers of today's monetary system and why Bitcoin can be your life preserver in a financial storm.
