Have you heard of, or stumbled upon, magically Internet money? Kiara Bickers’ Bitcoin Clarity is the solution to the struggle many people face when trying to understand Bitcoin. This method focuses on mental models, visuals, and systems thinking instead of code as a way to explain Bitcoin without price hype or industry jargon. Understanding Bitcoin doesn’t come by someone telling you exactly what Bitcoin is, but by giving you a new perspective to see it from.

Thank You For Writing This Book

I thought I would take a break from my second "go-round", the first while commuting, the second while at my laptop with the PDF accompaniment, to say thank you to the author. The concept of cryptocurrency is so well laid out and thoroughly explained. She really does bring clarity to a sea of confusion in the world of blockchain. Although she may not be as polished as a professional reader, I always prefer the author in order to get the proper tone and inflection that only the writer of the topic can know and to her credit, I picked up on the topic immediately.
I also found myself in lockstep agreement with her analysis of the role played by the Government, the Federal Reserve, and the SEC. This is much more than just a primer on Bitcoin. It is as much a discourse on why use Bitcoin as it is on how Bitcoin works. I highly recommend the book to anyone interested in cryptocurrency and specifically Bitcoin. In a little more than six hours, you will go from cloudy to clarity and know enough to confidently enter the realm of Bitcoin.

Behind the alarming headlines about job losses, bank bailouts, and corporate greed, there is a little-known story of bad ideas. For 50 years or more, economists have been busy developing elegant theories of how markets work - how they facilitate innovation, wealth creation, and an efficient allocation of society's resources. But what about when markets don't work?

The bulk of this book is a chronology of market booms and busts and the great minds that shaped our economic policies. As it approaches present day however, some scathing criticisms surface. Greenspan for being too hands off when he should have been alerted by red flags in subprime lending. Bernanke and Paulson are faulted mostly for not doing enough to support the financial markets and protect the large institutions, thus allaying fears in the heat of the crisis. Overall, a great listen and very insightful.
I wonder, if it really was the weakness of these individuals that facilitated the collapse then, what of all other nations of the world? Surely we’re not responsible for their failures as well? And why no mention of oil? I still remember the unsettling feeling as the price of gasoline encroached $5.00 a gallon and fear about the future of discretionary spending. This and other books on the present day failures seem to overlook the impact of fuel costs during the summer of 2008.
The author scores one for Obama’s socialist economic policies as the game winner. He ends in October of 2009 using that month to justify his argument. But that’s like going to bed after your team has just rallied, assuming they won the game. In retrospect August 2009 turned out to be nothing more then a sugar rush as the economy tired soon after. Now that we are further along in the game many people are dissatisfied with the ineffective policies that have been set forth and the amount of debt that has been amassed to fund them.
Finally, one day, after affixing my ear plug and turning on my MP3 player, my wife asked “What are you listening to?”
“A very good story that tells all about what happened during the crises and what led to the economic collapse.”
“You don’t need a stupid book to tell you about that, I can tell you what caused it.”
“Oh yeah” I said “what was it?”
“GREED!”
The beauty of logic is its simplicity. Oh well it was a good history lesson!
