Больше денег + Крипта

Today, everyone has heard about cryptocurrency. However, the sharp edges of this topic, including the risks and ethical aspects of the impact of crypto-economics on society, remain in the shadows.

“Crypto” is a gripping investigation into the theft of 400 million... dollars from the BTC-e/Wex exchange, in which the cryptocurrency movement in Russia is reflected like a drop of water: hackers, inventors, and romantics clash with fraudsters, illegal miners, drug dealers, and secret service agents to determine who owns that very “crypto.” Many people have fantastically enriched themselves with cryptocurrency, but where there is big money, there are invariably big risks.

In the book “More Money,” programmer Vitalik Buterin reflects on the development of the crypto-economy and the key ideas behind it — from the peculiarities of the Ethereum protocol to game theory, funding of public goods, and the creation of autonomous network organizations. How can blockchain services help people achieve common goals? Can cryptocurrencies replace traditional financial instruments? Do they lead to the construction of a beautiful new world where power belongs not to governments and corporations, but to people united by common values and interests, or do they serve as a source of inequality and cynical financial speculation? Individual print, our principle - only real stories. We publish books written in the first person by competent people with interesting biographies: this can be a doctor, cook, journalist, prisoner, or anthropologist — the main thing is that their point of view helps to rethink things considered immutable.
