Smart Woman's Guide to Bitcoin

Have you wondered what the big deal is in Bitcoin? Like you, I was too busy working and raising a family to figure out Bitcoin. It felt like the domain of digital cowboys, gamers, and boys with supercomputers in their basements. Yet as time went on and Bitcoin's tremendous growth has made millionaires on the upside and bald men on the downside, I decided to look into it—mostly out of fear of missing out. If Bitcoin is truly the future of money and it lives up to its promise as a non-inflating currency, then I want to not only get in on the action, but to understand the mathematics, economics, and culture behind it. This book is for the busy woman who wants to discover Bitcoin and understand enough of its mathematics and technology in order to gain conviction on how she'll relate to Bitcoin. • You will learn about sound and unsound money, and why Bitcoin can never be inflated. • You will understand the way Bitcoin is created and why it is stronger and more secure than other cryptocurrencies. • You will get an introduction on ways to invite Bitcoin into your life: exchanges, wallets, payment systems, affiliate rewards, and tax considerations. • You will also get a dose of Bitcoin FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) and explore reasons why Bitcoin might not be the right date for you. • Finally, you will be treated to a short list of influential women in the Bitcoin space to inspire you and let you know what can be done with Bitcoin to make the world a more equitable and inclusive place. Is Bitcoin the future of money or false hope for a cult of fanatics? Decide for yourself, and may the coin always bounce in your favor.
