    About this ebook

    Finally! A simple yet extensive guide to the new form of money - the digital money of the future.

    In the past several years, the rise of Bitcoin and a number of other cryptocurrencies have engendered much discussion (and consternation) in the business and tech worlds. While many have embraced the new currencies and the possibilities they offer, many others have issued dire warnings about the possibility for crime and hidden transactions.

    In this timely book, R. S. Tumber takes a broad look at cryptocurrencies and at how they function. He begins with an overview of financial transactions and the characteristics that make cryptocurrencies unique. He goes on to discuss the implications for crime and the law, and examines current cryptocurrency legislation. The final chapter looks at the future of cryptocurrency and its myriad possibilities.

    R. S. Tumber

    Rajinder Singh Tumber (R. S. Tumber) was born in April 1983 at the British Hospital for Mothers and Babies in Woolwich, and raised in Kent, England. Tumber is a cyber security specialist, sci-fi novelist, multi-genre author, cryptocurrency investor, and an inventor. Selected as a FINALIST for the "Personality of the Year" award in the cyber security industry, Tumber has been working within the private and public sectors; most recently in aerospace and defence. With over a decade of experience in the domain of cyber security, his work in thought-leadership has been published in national and global magazines and newspapers. In 2007, Tumber obtained an MSc Information Security from Royal Holloway, University of London. Prior to this achievement, Tumber studied at the University of Westminster, to obtain a BSc Computer Science (Hons). However, Tumber yearned for greater knowledge - not just within the scope of Cyber. For years, he has been fascinated with philosophy, astronomy, ancient history and other subjects beyond the public eye. Years of research and questioning of mainstream concepts have led him to write a range of eye-opening books, to inspire and enlighten those who are seeking a life of fulfilment; those who are not content with their current lives.

      Could have much more details and in depth analysis.Good overall.
    • 4/5
      This is the first book on cryptocurrency I've read. I appreciated the discussion of the role of "store of value" in the difference between money and currency. And I especially appreciate the discussion about why powerful interest groups in banking and government will fight hard to keep cryptocurrency from widespread use. The use of God in the title is based on a quotation in the book from the 1800s that "Money is the god of our times". I thought the book's comparison of cryptocurrency with the invention of the printing press would have been a better thing to work into the title, but it might be tough to use 'printing press' in a short title without evoking the idea that cryptocurrency is akin to fiat currency -- and that idea would be contrary to the main reason I'm interested in cryptocurrency (how to protect from the inflationary effects that seem inevitable from the printing of trillions of dollars in recent years).
