Digital Cash Book Information:

ng untold story of digital cash and its creatorsfrom experiments in the 1970s to the Mania over bit Co in and other cryptocurrencies bit Co in May appear to be a revolutionary form of digital cash without precedent or prehistory. In fact, it is only the best-known recent experiment in a long line of similar efforts going back to the 1970s. But the story behind cryptocurrencies like bit Co in and its Blockchain technology has largely been untolduntil now. In digital cash, Finn Brunton reveals how technological utopians and political Radicals created experimental money to bring about their visions of the future: protecting privacy or bringing down governments, preparing for apocalypse or launching a civilization of innovation and abundance that would make its creators immortal. The incredible story of the pioneers of concurrency takes us from autonomous zones on the high seas to the worlds most valuable dump, from Bank runs to idea coupons, from time traveller in a San Francisco bar to the pattern securing every twenty-dollar Bill, and from marketplaces for dangerous secrets to a Tank of frozen heads awaiting revival in the far future. Along the way, digital cash explores the hard questions and challenges that these innovators faced: how do we learn to trust and use different kinds of money? What makes digital objects valuable? How does currency prove itself as real to us? What would it take to make a digital equivalent to cash, something that could be created but not forged, exchanged but not copied, and which reveals nothing about its users? Filled with marvellous characters, stories, and ideas, digital cash is an engaging and accessible account of the strange origins and remarkable technologies behind todays cryptocurrency explosion.
