Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This book is useful in understanding the author's worldview - not Bitcoin. Only the last few chapters actually pertain to Bitcoin. The rest of the text is a history of money that has been heavily distorted through the lens of personal bias. Historical facts are conveniently ignored in service of the author's personal agenda. For example, the author claims "Germany suffered from hyperinflation after the Treaty of Versailles had imposed large reparations on it and it sought to repay them using inflation." This is patently impossible, since the Treaty of Versailles required reparations to be paid in gold. This is just one of many, many inaccurate statements within the text. If you're looking for an ahistorical polemic screed against central banks and Keynesian economics, this is your book. However, you seek to understand Bitcoin and the underlying technologies, you'd be better off with another book.
