“"The Genesis Book" by Aaron van Wirdum is a deep dive into the history of Bitcoin, tracing its roots back to a diverse group of computer scientists, privacy activists, and heterodox economists. These pioneers spent decades trying to create a digital form of money that could operate independently of government control. Van Wirdum's book highlights the projects and people that inspired the creation of Bitcoin, shedding light on the pre-history of this revolutionary peer-to-peer electronic cash system.”
