Bitcoin has long had to deal with accusations of bubbledom being levelled at it, although it can hardly protest. During the last decade its price has ballooned on multiple occasions, only to come tumbling back down, albeit generally to a slightly higher level than pre-pump. Our old friend, Nouriel Roubini, considers cryptocurrency the “mother and father of all bubbles,” which would be quite an accomplishment for such a relative whippersnapper. Financial bubbles have been around for over 300 years, as the book Boom and Bust by William Quinn and David John Turner explains. Through examining the development of major bubbles …

Author Cal Evans bills The Little Book of Crypto as “A No BS Introduction To Crypto.” Evans also claims to be “regarded as one of the best crypto lawyers” working for “the largest independent crypto-only law firm on the planet.” This will become relevant later. The book claims to provide the reader with unique “in-industry” insights while serving as a great starting point for those who are beginning their cryptocurrency journey. It also comes with a disclaimer of strong language, not recommended for readers under 18. So does it achieve its aims? The first thing you will notice about The …

“Understanding the Past, Present & Future of Finance in One Read,” boasts the subtitle of Digital is the Cash by Nathaniel Luz. Whether the book achieves this lofty aim is likely to depend on the readers feelings towards Dash (DASH) being the future of finance. You see, Luz is an ambassador for Dash Africa, and strongly believes that the cryptocurrency represents the future of money. His story is actually more interesting than that, as I discovered when I spoke to him, but potential readers should be warned that parts of this book read more like a press release. It should …

On May 15, beloved Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling tweeted at crypto journalist Leigh Cuen about her comprehension of Bitcoin. "I don’t understand Bitcoin," Rowling said, adding, "Please explain it to me." We would be happy to oblige. Dear J. K. Rowling: The first thing you need to understand is that Bitcoin is magic. It allows you to exchange money with anyone in the world instantly, cheaply and securely, without the need for any centralized, Goblin-based banking authority. Chapter 1: The White Paper From No One Bitcoin was invented by a mysterious computer programmer named Satoshi Nakamoto — almost …

Millionaire businessman and author of the book Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki, mentioned Bitcoin (BTC) numerous times in a podcast interview with Morgan Creek Digital co-founder Anthony Pompliano, referring to the asset as an escape. “The reason I endorse Bitcoin is just for one frickin' reason: You’re not part of the system,” Kiyosaki said. “It’s a separation of government and my money,” he laughingly added, quoting sentiment Pompliano has expressed many times. Uncertain times can spur flight to safety Throughout the interview, Kiyosaki riffed on many concepts through the lens of someone reportedly enlightened about what he called a …

Startup fundraising, in the traditional VC methodology, was flipped on its head in 2017 when a boom in ICO creation saw hundreds of companies forming on the Blockchain with its attached digital currency being born in the form of an investable token. However, this crowdfunding platform which exploded at a rapid rate has finally been hauled in by regulators and authorities who have noticed a few worrying trends. Bodies like the SEC have had a …
