Bitcoin Internals: A Technical Guide to Bitcoin
"There are three eras of currency: Commodity-based, politically-based, and now, math-based." - Chris Dixon, Internet Entrepreneur and Investor (as quoted by bitcoin.org)
"Bitcoin will do to banks what email did to the postal industry" - Rick Falkvinge, IT Entrepreneur
Bitcoin is a revolutionary new digital currency that has the potential to create a paradigm shift in money and banking. No government or corporation controls Bitcoin; it's operated by a decentralized network of computers that anyone can join. This is the first time the world has ever seen such a radically new monetary system. But to fully appreciate Bitcoin, you need to see what's going on under the hood.
"[Bitcoin] is a techno tour de force." - Bill Gates, Founder of Microsoft
