All of that is well and good, but the rest of the book is unfortunately much less interesting. The author is knowledgeable on the topic of central bank digital currencies and other projects relating to digital payment systems, but these policies are a dry topic compared to cryptocurrencies. The last 150 pages are likely to be of interest only to central bankers and economists who do research on banking policy. Much of it seems like a review of recent research, so half of this book will probably be outdated in 10 years when policies have moved on. I also thought the presentation lacked focus and contains far too many unnecessary acronyms. In the end the story got so boring that I decided to skip the last 50 pages.
Nevertheless, if you're looking for a good overview of cryptocurrencies, the first half of the book is probably what you want. If you like to count how much your books cost per page, I would consider this 200 pages, not 400.… (mehr)
