The Bitcoin Standard
The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking.
by Saifedean Ammous
Summary:
Bitcoin is the digital age’s novel, decentralized, and automated solution to the problem of money: accessible worldwide, controlled by nobody. Can this young upstart money challenge the global monetary order?
Economist Saifedean Ammous traces the history of the technologies of money to seashells, limestones, cattle, salt, beads, metals, and government debt, explaining what gave these technologies their monetary role, what makes for sound money, and the benefits of a sound monetary regime to economic growth, innovation, culture, trade, individual freedom, and international peace.
Also read a review or “Steel Man” of Fiat Currency. This book by the same author looks to find the benefits of fiat currency.

The Price of Tomorrow
Why Deflation is the Key to an Abundant Future.
by Jeff Booth
Summary:
We live in an extraordinary time. Technological advances are happening at a rate faster than our ability to understand them, and in a world that moves faster than we can imagine, we cannot afford to stand still. These advances bring efficiency and abundance—and they are profoundly deflationary.
Our economic systems were built for a pre-technology era when labour and capital were inextricably linked, an era that counted on growth and inflation, an era where we made money from inefficiency. That era is over, but we keep on pretending that those economic systems still work.

The Jesus / Bitcoin Connection
Why Bitcoin may be the currency of the New Earth.
by Eric Cram
Summary:
Jesus offered an abundant life. Bitcoin may be the monetary form of his spiritual teachings. If the New Earth (an outward manifestation of the Kingdom of Heaven) will use money or a store of wealth, I make a partial case why Bitcoin is up to the task.
Jesus may or may not have been the first to conceive of, embody, or share some of the principles expressed here, but I hope to demonstrate that, whether intentional or not, Bitcoin absolutely reflects actions, principles and teachings of Jesus.
