How is Bitcoin mined? AUDIOBOOK by Braiins

For whom is this audiobook?

Right in the beginning it says that the book is for investors, speculators, gamblers, bitcoin maximalists and all “financial crazies”, but mainly for people who are curious about how mining works. The aim is to take novices from cluelessness to understanding, without unnecessary jargon and in a language that anyone with a taste for thinking with their own head can handle.

What will be covered?

The audiobook starts from the ground up — with the question “what is money” and why not all money is the same. He gradually explains the three functions of money, compares Bitcoin, gold and fiat currencies, and shows why the authors consider Bitcoin to be the most perfect form of money with a limited supply of 21 million.

It follows the comparison of Bitcoin with gold as well as with other “cryptos”, explanation of the slogan vires en numerais and why it is so important to bitcoin philosophy that it is not believed in people, but mathematics, physics and code. There are also chapters on market capitalization, the difference between Bitcoin and altcoins, and why Bitcoin is perceived as something that cannot simply be replicated.
