Sinopse

Bitcoin was promised to be a liberating technology, a free market alternative to state-controlled money. But that promise was broken after a small group of insiders took over the project and fundamentally changed Bitcoin's design.
 
Few people know the true history of Bitcoin and its original design due to years of heavy censorship, social media engineering, and tight information controls online. Hijacking Bitcoin destroys the most popular narratives that surround Bitcoin and sets the historical record straight.
 
Roger Ver's passion and pain come through as he tells the story of a beloved project corrupted in front of his eyes. Written by one of the most prominent figures in the cryptocurrency industry, this book is impossible to ignore.
 
From the inside flap:
 
Bitcoin has been captured and changed for the worse. That's the undeniable conclusion of Hijacking Bitcoin. Chocked full of history and inconvenient truths, this book goes on a myth-busting rampage against the most popular narratives that surround BTC.
 
Is Bitcoin truly decentralized? Is it supposed to be digital gold or digital cash? Did the original design really have scaling problems? Roger Ver addresses these questions head-on and provides uncomfortable answers.
 
Roger Ver is the world's first investor in Bitcoin startups and has been a prominent name in the cryptocurrency industry since the beginning. Yet, as he confesses in the introduction, this book is not a love story. It's a devastating exposé of the corruption, propaganda, and centralization of power in Bitcoin.

    In a world increasingly run by algorithms and artificial intelligence, Hatim Rahman traces how organizations are using algorithms to control workers in an "invisible cage." 
     
     
      
    Inside the Invisible Cage uses unique longitudinal data to investigate how digital labor platforms use algorithms to dictate the actions of high-skilled workers by determining accepted behaviors, work opportunities, and even success. As Hatim Rahman explains, employers can use algorithms to shift rules and guidelines without notice, explanation, or recourse for workers. The invisible cage signals a profound shift in the way markets and organizations categorize and ultimately control people. 
     
     
      
    Unlike previous forms of labor control, the invisible cage is ubiquitous, yet it is also opaque and shifting, which makes breaking free from it difficult for workers. This book traces how the invisible cage was developed over time and the implications it has for the spread of new technology, such as generative artificial intelligence. Inside the Invisible Cage also provides organizations, workers, and policymakers with insights on how to ensure the future of work has truly equitable, mutually beneficial outcomes.

    Build the Real Estate Business That Funds Your Life, Not Consumes It 
    Most investors start out chasing freedom. Financial and time freedom. The dream of calling the shots. But then reality sets in: endless tasks, constant fires, and the nagging question: Am I even fixing the right thing? 
    The problem is not knowing what to fix first. 
    That's why I wrote Fix This Next for Real Estate Investors. I've been in your shoes-overwhelmed, spread thin, and stuck in the survival trap of trying to solve everything at once. What finally set me free was a simple compass I call the Investor's Priority Pyramid (IPP). 
    The IPP works like Maslow's hierarchy of needs, but for your business. It walks you through five levels-Deal Flow, Profit, Order, Impact, and Legacy-so you always know what deserves your focus right now. Fix the right problem in the right order, and your business naturally levels up. 
    This isn't theory. I used the IPP to grow my investing business by 1,000% in four years, replacing my corporate VP salary and regaining my freedom. I've since taught thousands of investors to do the same. 
    Inside, you'll learn how to: 
    Lock in consistent deal flow that keeps your pipeline full. 
    Create real profit that supports your life, not just your business. 
    Build systems so that the business can run without depending on you. 
    Make an impact beyond transactions on your clients, your team, and your community. 
    Design a legacy that lasts for generations. 
    Whether you flip, rent, or wholesale, this book will show you exactly what to fix next, so you stop spinning your wheels and finally build the business you dreamed of when you started. 
    Your business should fund your life, not consume it. Here's how to make that your reality.

    Owning the Sun tells the story of one of the most contentious fights in human history: the legal right to control the production of lifesaving medicines. Medical science began as a discipline geared toward the betterment of all human life, but the merging of research with intellectual property and the rise of the pharmaceutical industry warped and eventually undermined its ethical foundations. Why does the US government fund the development of medical science in the name of the public, only to relinquish exclusive rights to drug companies, and how does such a system impoverish us, weaken our responses to global crises, and, as in the case of AIDS and COVID-19, put the world at risk? 
     
     
      
    Outlining how generations of public health and science advocates have attempted to hold the line against Big Pharma and their allies in government, Alexander Zaitchik's first-in-kind history documents the rise of medical monopoly in the United States and its subsequent globalization. From the controversial arrival of patent-wielding German drug firms in the late nineteenth century, to present-day coordination between industry and philanthropic organizations—including the influential Gates Foundation—that stymie international efforts to vaccinate the world against COVID-19, Owning the Sun tells one of the most important and least understood histories of our time.
