Summary:

"What is the future of money? What is the difference between bitcoin, blockchain, coins and tokens? What is cryptocurrency and why all the fuss? And what about gold? What will be a long-term stable store of value and how does that relate to what may or may not be valuable as an investment? Is blockchain a short-term fad or will it truly disrupt everything? Money Without Boundaries is a must-have resource for anyone interested in exploring these questions. See how over 100 years of theory converge with emerging technologies to create a new 5G reality. The punchline: the convergence of these megatrends changes and disrupts everything as you know it today" -- Amazon.com
