Book excerpt: Falling down the Bitcoin rabbit hole is a strange experience. Like many others, I feel like I have learned more in the last couple of years studying Bitcoin than I have during two decades of formal education. The following lessons are a distillation of what I've learned. First published as an article series titled "What I've Learned From Bitcoin," what follows can be seen as a third edition of the original series. Like Bitcoin, these lessons aren't a static thing. I plan to work on them periodically, releasing updated versions and additional material in the future.Bitcoin is an inexhaustible teacher, which is why I do not claim that these lessons are all-encompassing or complete. They are a reflection of my personal journey down the rabbit hole. There are many more lessons to be learned, and every person will learn something different from entering the world of Bitcoin. I hope that you will find these lessons useful and that the process of learning them by reading won't be as arduous and painful as learning them firsthand.

Download or read book Down The Rabbit Hole written by Tim Lea and published by Tim Lea. This book was released on 2016-12-12 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the blockchain mean to you? I keep hearing about it in the media - but don’t know what it is! I have read some things about it – but just don't get it. Isn’t it just a bandwagon that the financial media is over-hyping? Isn’t it just about drugs and hitmen? Block-what? Whatever your thoughts, the blockchain is gaining significant traction, with global media outlets increasing their almost insatiable coverage of the technology. So, why should you care? On December 2, 2015, the Goldman Sachs research team released their Emerging Theme Report. It simply said: “…the Blockchain, can change … well everything.” Now that's a big claim... but when this claim is added to : - Wangxiang Labs out of China announcing a $30bn blockchain-based investment fund for Smart Cities in September 2016. - IBM announcing in the same month their plans to spend $200m for the combination of Blockchain, Internet Of Things and Artificial Intelligence or - The Venture Capitalist community investing $1.3bn so far in the blockchain-related space Perhaps something big is going on…. Is it that: - You can send cleared funds internationally in 20 seconds, rather than 3 days? - You can remove the need for trusted third-parties - bankers, lawyers, accountants, auditors? - 20% of the world's population can finally secure an identity that will help remove human trafficking, even child prostitution. The blockchain is powerful, very powerful but is not a technology that can easily be described in a few words – and that is its problem. Business people like you find it confusing, geeky, and hard to get to grips with. Down The Rabbit Hole gives you a practical, easy-to-read, hands-on guide to the technology, its power, and how you can capitalise on that power. Whether you want to: - Make your organisation more innovative and effective - Make yourself more valuable in your marketplace - Develop new products or - Become the new Mark Zuckerberg Down The Rabbit Hole will have something for you, fast-tracking you to be at the leading edge of 21st-century business thinking. The genie is squeezing itself out of the bottle, one-way ticket in hand – and ready for you to command. However, be warned once you discover the power of the blockchain hidden deep beneath the surface, your eyes will open to green fields crammed full of explosive opportunities. How you use them is limited only by your imagination. So why not get the book today – and take the first steps towards a discovering your new world.

Download or read book Escaping the Rabbit Hole written by West Mick and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Earth is flat, the World Trade Center collapse was a controlled demolition, planes are spraying poison to control the weather, and actors faked the Sandy Hook massacre…. All these claims are bunk: falsehoods, mistakes, and in some cases, outright lies. But many people passionately believe one or more of these conspiracy theories. They consume countless books and videos, join like-minded online communities, try to convert those around them, and even, on occasion, alienate their own friends and family. Why is this, and how can you help people, especially those closest to you, break free from the downward spiral of conspiracy thinking? In Escaping the Rabbit Hole, author Mick West shares over a decade’s worth of knowledge and experience investigating and debunking false conspiracy theories through his forum, MetaBunk.org, and sets forth a practical guide to helping friends and loved ones recognize these theories for what they really are. Perhaps counter-intuitively, the most successful approaches to helping individuals escape a rabbit hole aren’t comprised of simply explaining why they are wrong; rather, West’s tried-and-tested approach emphasizes clear communication based on mutual respect, honesty, openness, and patience. West puts his debunking techniques and best practices to the test with four of the most popular false conspiracy theories today (Chemtrails, 9/11 Controlled Demolition, False Flags, and Flat Earth) — providing road maps to help you to understand your friend and help them escape the rabbit hole. These are accompanied by real-life case studies of individuals who, with help, were able to break free from conspiracism. With sections on: the wide spectrum of conspiracy theories avoiding the “shill” label psychological factors and other complications (and concluding with) a look at the future of debunking Mick West has put forth a conclusive, well-researched, practical reference on why people fall down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole and how you can help them escape.

Download or read book The Mind of Wall Street written by Leon Levy and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2009-03-25 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As stock prices and investor confidence have collapsed in the wake of Enron, WorldCom, and the dot-com crash, people want to know how this happened and how to make sense of the uncertain times to come. Into the breach comes one of Wall Street's legendary investors, Leon Levy, to explain why the market so often confounds us, and why those who ought to understand it tend to get chewed up and spat out. Levy, who pioneered many of the innovations and investment instruments that we now take for granted, has prospered in every market for the past fifty years, particularly in today's bear market. In The Mind of Wall Street he recounts stories of his successes and failures to illustrate how investor psychology and willful self-deception so often play critical roles in the process. Like his peers George Soros and Warren Buffett, Levy takes a long and broad view of the rhythms of the markets and the economy. He also offers a provocative analysis of the spectacular Internet bubble, showing that the market has not yet completely recovered from its bout of "irrational exuberance." The Mind of Wall Street is essential reading for all of us, whether we are active traders or simply modest contributors to our 401(k) plans, as volatile and unnerving markets come to define so much of our net worth.

Book excerpt: From the author of the classic The Wizards of Armageddon and Pulitzer Prize finalist comes the definitive history of American policy on nuclear war—and Presidents’ actions in nuclear crises—from Truman to Trump. Fred Kaplan, hailed by The New York Times as “a rare combination of defense intellectual and pugnacious reporter,” takes us into the White House Situation Room, the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s “Tank” in the Pentagon, and the vast chambers of Strategic Command to bring us the untold stories—based on exclusive interviews and previously classified documents—of how America’s presidents and generals have thought about, threatened, broached, and just barely avoided nuclear war from the dawn of the atomic age until today. Kaplan’s historical research and deep reporting will stand as the permanent record of politics. Discussing theories that have dominated nightmare scenarios from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Kaplan presents the unthinkable in terms of mass destruction and demonstrates how the nuclear war reality will not go away, regardless of the dire consequences.
