Meghan's Reviews > Digital Gold: Bitcoin and the Inside Story of the Misfits and Millionaires Trying to Reinvent Money

I read this in hopes of better understanding bitcoin and blockchain, but this is not a Bitcoin For Dummies. It relays the relatively brief but colorful history of this technology and its misfit founders and fanatics. I have a better sense of the benefits, applications, and limitations of bitcoin now, but I was left wanting more technical detail. I thoroughly enjoyed the drama of these radical libertarian nerds' attempts to buck the System, replete with black market drug sales, murders-for-hire, prison sentences, cancerous ego growth, Winklevi, and a dreamy Argentinian entrepreneur on whom I may have a crush.
