內容簡介
有人說,加密貨幣是金融的未來,
也有人說,它是規模空前的龐氏騙局。
虛擬貨幣持續改變金融運作方式,
但它影響所及不只經濟層面,甚至可能重劃全球的政治版圖。
它的力量是怎麼拓展到這個程度的?
佳評如潮:「淺顯易懂」、「引人入勝」、「娛樂性十足」!
*****
2008年末,化名「中本聰」的神祕人士發表一份長達九頁的白皮書,提出「比特幣」構想。
2012年夏天,布萊恩・阿姆斯壯創立美國第一家加密貨幣交易所Coinbase,旨在提供大眾方便買賣比特幣的管道。
2013年,「區塊鏈2.0」問世,那是當時年僅十九歲的布特林構想出來的,名為「以太坊」;
此後幾年間,虛擬貨幣歷經了質疑、看衰、新幣與屎幣群起、價格暴跌、長期低迷、回血暴漲……
2017年,人稱「CZ」的趙長鵬募資創立加密貨幣交易所「幣安」,用與Coinbase全然不同的營運策略,發展為Coinbase的勁敵;
2021年10月,比特幣價格創下歷史新高,突破67000美元;
2021年11月底,加密貨幣交易所「幣安」創辦人趙長鵬以900億美元身價,空降華人首富;
2021年12月,比特幣價格從高點回落達30%,唱衰聲再起,有人說它抵抗不了通膨,更有人預測它可能不久後會消失……
加密貨幣不只對金融秩序的影響將愈來愈大,亦逐漸深入我們的日常生活,即使不買賣、不使用數位貨幣,了解它們的運作亦將成為現代人的必修課。
隨著越來越多人使用與投資比特幣,推升了加密貨幣價格創下一波波新高。本書介紹美國第一家、也是如今美國最大的加密貨幣交易所Coinbase的創業緣起,看它在創業後如何逐一克服來自幣圈內外,包括民眾使用門檻、幣圈理念分歧、不法份子濫用、執法單位管制,乃至傳統金融人士排斥等種種挑戰,終於打造出廣大群眾接受與使用的虛擬貨幣投資平台。
傑夫.約翰.羅伯茲是專門報導加密貨幣、區塊鏈技術與駭客等主題的記者,他敏銳地觀察虛擬貨幣的世界,以及新創企業試圖顛覆華爾街時所發生的種種,並清楚說明了加密貨幣技術,把那些解說巧妙地融入一個神奇世界中。這本書帶我們進入精彩的各種加密貨幣與多家虛擬貨幣交易所爭霸戰,藉由描述全球各地參與這場好戲的主角,追溯加密貨幣的興起、衰落與重生。

"Tech writer Roberts debuts with a page-turning account of the rise of cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase from the Y Combinator startup incubator to becoming a 'pillar of the larger crypto economy.' " — Publisher's Weekly
For a moment late in 2018, one bitcoin, which physically amounts to a few electrons blipping on a tiny bit of silicon, was worth $20,000—the same as a pound of gold. Libertarian technologists who believed bitcoin would be the foundation of a new world order saw the moment as an apotheosis. Everyone else saw a bubble. Everyone else was right, and the bubble burst. But bitcoin survived, and the battle for its soul rages on.
Kings of Crypto drops us into the unfolding drama, tracing the rise, fall, and rebirth of cryptocurrency through the experiences of major players across the globe. We follow Silicon Valley entrepreneur Brian Armstrong and the turbulent rocket ride of his startup, Coinbase, as he tries to take bitcoin mainstream while fighting off hackers, thieves, and zealots. Author Jeff John Roberts keenly observes the world of virtual currencies and what happens when startups try to disrupt the world of high finance. Clear explanations of crypto technology are woven into an amazing landscape full of meme-fueled startup hijinks, hacking (so much hacking!), shady investors, government investigations, billionaire bros and their Lambos, and closed-door meetings with Jamie Dimon.
This is the surprising story of the origins of cryptocurrency and how it is changing money forever.
