Introduction to Bitcoin - Navigating the Future of Money

Summary

"Hilbay's book is a blueprint for a different kind of future, where the world operates on one digital currency standard, beyond the control of any one country or alliance of countries, where the most valuable and technologically advanced money is something that will be accessible to anyone: a refugee or a billionaire, equally. Where foreign lenders and dictators cannot simply 'devalue' a local currency to crack the whip on local workers, or where an empire cannot force their currency to be the only one that energy producers accept. If everyone is on the same footing, Hilbay explains, then the world gets a whole lot more equal."
— Alex Gladstein, Human Rights Foundation

This book is about money, not making money. It is about how money arises and how it is engineered. For the most part, it is a historical survey of the characteristics of money and why these have practical consequences for all of us. The fundamental thesis of this book is that Bitcoin exhibits many of the traditional characteristics of sound money as well as the attributes of what sound money ought to be, considering the current state of our civilization and the problems humanity confronts. Simply put, it is the best form of money humans have ever had. This changes everything.

    Technology has played a crucial role in shaping business operations throughout history. From the earliest tools used in trade to the sophisticated digital solutions of today, technological advancements have continually transformed how businesses operate, compete, and innovate. Understanding this evolution provides insight into how businesses can adapt to ongoing technological changes and leverage them for growth and efficiency. 
In the earliest days of commerce, businesses relied on manual processes, basic tools, and rudimentary systems to conduct trade. The invention of writing and accounting methods, such as the use of clay tablets in Mesopotamia, marked the first major technological leap in business operations. These early records enabled merchants to track transactions and manage resources more effectively. Over time, the development of paper money, banking systems, and mechanical tools further revolutionized trade and commerce, laying the foundation for more complex economic structures. 
The Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries marked another significant turning point in business technology. The introduction of steam engines, mechanized production, and telecommunication systems drastically increased efficiency and productivity. Factories replaced traditional handcrafting methods, allowing mass production and global trade expansion. The telegraph and telephone revolutionized communication, enabling businesses to operate over long distances and conduct transactions more quickly than ever before.

    'Achieving net zero will be the most amazing thing humankind has ever done.' - Bill Gates 
In 2010, Bill Gates first came up with the term 'Innovating to Zero' to advocate a nuclear energy technology that would be safe and reliable, and have zero emissions. From its early use as a placeholder in Mesopotamian and Mayan civilizations to being ascribed value in seventh-century India, zero has today become the foundation without which modern world would crumble. In the twenty-first century, zero is taking on a completely new meaning - VISION ZERO. 
In Innovating to Zero, Sarwant Singh sets out to explore a zero-concept world, where this vision can be used to create a sustainable future by achieving zero-emission vehicles, zero waste, zero accidents, zero defects, zero security breaches, zero carbon emissions, zero obesity and even zero diseases. From companies like Nissan, Britannia and Atos to a government organization like UK's Jet Zero Council to even a football club like Tottenham Hotspur, the book highlights the various fields where zero can play a disruptive role-be it among communities or corporates, in the context of social and business agendas, both today and in the future. 
For readers, Singh provides a step-by-step approach to designing, developing and delivering a zero-vision strategy and a framework to achieve it, inspiring them to create a sustainable planet.

    In The Pause Principle, renowned corporate communications expert Cynthia Kane reveals her tried-and-tested SOFTEN practice to better handle awkward, difficult, or tense conversations at work by breaking free of automatic reactions including shutting down, running away, yelling, or getting passive aggressive or defensive. In this book, listeners will learn how to regulate their bodily responses and emotions to arrive at peaceful and productive resolutions during even the most challenging moments at work. 
 
 
 
With Kane's help, listeners have the opportunity to make a profound impact in their organizations, both interpersonally and quantitatively by reducing miscommunications and therefore corporate errors. This book explores topics such as the fight, flight, or freeze response, and why it's actually a very effective evolution strategy in the wilderness—just not in the workplace; the true financial cost of corporate miscommunication, estimated to be $4,200 per employee per year; and the importance of mindfulness in work and life, and its key role in calming the human nervous system during stressful situations. 
 
 
 
The Pause Principle earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of corporate leaders, executives, managers, and all individuals seeking proven strategies to smoothly navigate stressful social situations in the workplace.
