蘿拉．辛《加密風雲: 那些不為人知的貪婪與謊言, 和啟動新世界的推手與反派》 【加密貨幣：理想‧貪婪‧謊言‧和首波加密貨幣熱潮】 本書介紹當下頗具話題的加密貨幣，如：比特幣‧以太坊等，其形成的傳奇故事，以及背後金錢、文化、權力糾結的理想、鬥爭、和革命。 The story of the idealists, technologists, and opportunists fighting to bring cryptocurrency to the masses. In their short history, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have gone through booms, busts, and internecine wars, recently reaching a market valuation of more than $2 trillion. The central promise of crypto endures—vast fortunes made from decentralized networks not controlled by any single entity and not yet regulated by many governments. The recent growth of crypto would have been all but impossible if not for a brilliant young man named Vitalik Buterin and his creation: Ethereum. In this book, Laura Shin takes readers inside the founding of this novel cryptocurrency network, which enabled users to launch their own new coins, thus creating a new crypto fever. She introduces readers to larger-than-life characters like Buterin, the Web3 wunderkind; his short-lived CEO, Charles Hoskinson; and Joe Lubin, a former Goldman Sachs VP who became one of crypto’s most well-known billionaires. Sparks fly as these outsized personalities fight for their piece of a seemingly limitless new business opportunity.
