Hijacking Bitcoin by Roger Ver - The Movie
Hijacking Bitcoin is an eye-opening book by one of the most prominent Bitcoin entrepreneurs and evangelists, Roger Ver.
Roger gave me permission to use excerpts from the book, and while I originally planned to create a shorter version, the content of the book is so well-structured that as I worked, I kept adding more.
Roger Ver presents a compelling case for how Bitcoin was captured, with its original vision distorted and its disruptive potential diminished.
Hijacking Bitcoin is undoubtetly a valuable read for anyone interested in cryptocurrencies and the underlying technology.
You can find Roger Ver's book on: www.hijackingbitcoin.com/
