Believers from Beijing to Buenos Aires see the potential for a financial system free from banks and governments. More than just a tech industry fad, Bitcoin has threatened to decentralize some of society's most basic institutions.An unusual tale of group invention, Digital Gold charts the rise of the Bitcoin technology through the eyes of the movement's colorful central characters, including a British anarchist, an Argentinian millionaire, a Chinese entrepreneur, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, and Bitcoin's elusive creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. Already, Bitcoin has led to untold riches for some, and prison terms for others.Digital Gold includes 16 pages of black-and-white photos"--cProvided by publisher. 0aElectronic funds transfers. 0aMoney. 0aCredit. 0aElectronic commerce. 4aTransferencia electrónica de fondos bancarios 91862 4aDinero9396 4aCrédito97478 4aComercio electrónico91860  a7bcbccorigcopd2encipf20gy-gencatlg  2lcccBK  00102lcc40708CSaBJBbBJBcCSd2022-10-03l0oHG 1710 P831di 2016p00000164732r2022-10-03 00:00:00t1w2022-10-03yBK
