Summary

"Privacy Coins" examines the rise of cryptocurrencies designed to enhance user anonymity in an age of increasing digital surveillance. It explains how these coins, like Monero and Zcash, utilize technologies such as ring signatures and zero-knowledge proofs to offer greater privacy than traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, where transactions are recorded on a public ledger. The book highlights the crucial role privacy coins could play in safeguarding individual liberties, while also acknowledging the potential for misuse, necessitating careful regulatory consideration. 

 
The book is structured in three parts; starting with the core concepts of privacy coins, then moving into the societal and political implications of the coins; and concluding with the future of privacy coins. It delves into the societal and political implications, exploring their potential use in circumventing censorship and empowering marginalized communities, while also addressing concerns about illicit activities. 

 
By combining technical analysis, legal scholarship, and economic research, this approach provides a balanced and comprehensive overview suitable for anyone interested in the intersection of digital privacy, financial technology, and politics.

    Nikola Tesla was one of history’s greatest scientists, and though he is best known for his pioneering work with electricity, the fact that he is mostly remembered solely for that actually does a disservice to his legacy. Born a Serb in the Austrian Empire, Tesla came to the United States and worked in a laboratory for none other than the Wizard of Menlo Park, Thomas Edison. 
    Having established AC as an electrical supply system, Tesla became a global celebrity, and his devices and inventions fascinated people. Tesla tinkered with everything from X-rays to wireless communications and even attempted a primitive form of the radio. While Tesla was not able to successfully execute the devices and concepts he foresaw, his forward thinking in fields like wireless communication certainly proved prescient, and his futuristic devices and his later reputation for eccentricity helped create the “mad scientist” image that still remains a pop culture fixture. Tesla seemed to have come to grips with this aspect of his legacy late in life, noting, “The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up." 
    During World War I, in December 1915, Tesla gave an interview to The New York Times in which he claimed he was working on something entirely new, a weapon that would use electrical power to instantly destroy a distant target. He explained that this weapon was “so far developed that great destructive effects can be produced at any point on the globe, determined beforehand and with great accuracy.” Tesla called this new weapon the “Teleforce,” and he would continue working on this project for the rest of his life, but he consistently refused to give details of its operation. Many people believed it was impractical, but with Tesla, it was never possible to be entirely certain.
