"The Internet of Money Volume Two: a collection of talks" is the spectacular sequel to the cult classic and best seller "The Internet of Money Volume One: a collection of talks" by Andreas M. Antonopoulos. Volume Two contains 11 more of his most inspiring and thought-provoking talks, including: Introduction to Bitcoin; Blockchain vs Bullshit; Fake News, Fake Money; Currency Wars; Bubble Boy and the Sewer Rat; Rocket Science and Ethereum's Killer App; and many more. Volume Two also includes an all-new frequently asked questions section!In 2013, Andreas M. Antonopoulos started publicly speaking about bitcoin and quickly became one of the world's most sought-after speakers in the industry. To date, he has delivered more than 75, TED-style talks in venues ranging from the Henry Ford Museum in the United States to packed-out Bitcoin Meetups around the world including Brazil, the Czech Republic, and New Zealand, and every talk is completely different.In these performances, Antonopoulos walks onto the stage and delivers a live, unscripted talk. Without a deck in sight, he unleashes his latest insights into the lightning-fast changes surrounding bitcoin. Combining the knowledge of one of the world's leading blockchain technologists, with cultural context, comedy, and the flair of a performance artist, Antonopoulos conveys an up-to-the-second understanding of bitcoin to live audiences worldwide.Many of these talks were so visionary, their content so educational, that they were curated and refined into a book form. On 7 September 2016, The Internet of Money Volume One was launched on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast (the interview has since been viewed more than 300,000 times). With its genesis in the lived, human experience, The Internet of Moneyoffered something that was desperately needed: an explanation of the philosophy, economics, politics, poetics, and technologies of bitcoin and open blockchains set within a broad historical context and using clear, simple language that delighted general audiences and bitcoin enthusiasts alike. During its first year, Volume One quickly became a hit in the global crypto-currency community-appealing to audiences from fields as diverse as the arts, sciences, and humanities. As one reader wrote: "It provides a uniquely accessible take on a mind-bendingly abstract system." The Internet of Money Volume Two: a collection of talks builds on that momentum and offers readers an opportunity to experience more these inspiring and thought-provoking talks in print. It also includes a bonus question and answer section, where Andreas answers some of the most frequently asked questions from audience members during his worldwide tour. Volume Two is a sequel that rivals, even exceeds, the first, in content, scope, and vision. These talks are intellectual fire-starters you won't want to miss. Make this book part of your collection and see why Andreas M. Antonopoulos is considered the most powerful and engaging voice in crypto-currency and blockchain.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Andreas M. Antonopoulos does it again. The second volume of "The Internet of Money" is perhaps the single best reference to get a quick overview of the latest developments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, ICOs, and the blockchain space in general. -- Balaji Srinavasan, CEO and Cofounder at 21.co, Board Partner at Andreessen Horowitz

With the buzz around bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology growing louder by the day, the world needs the counsel of Andreas M. Antonopoulos more than ever. With a clear message that's measured and cautious, yet filled with hope and possibility, Antonopoulos is single-handedly building the ranks of those who understand this vital phenomenon. If you want to join them, read this book. -- Michael Casey, Senior Advisor at MIT Media Lab's Digital Currency Initiative, co-author of The Truth Machine: The Blockchain and the Future of Everything

As someone who runs a nonprofit dedicated to blockchain education, I'm often asked "where should I start?" My answer is always the same: The Internet of Money series by Andreas M. Antonopoulos. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, these books convey the implications of blockchain tech in a clear and accessible way; his analogies are humorous, eye-opening, and perspective-shifting. I often find myself texting quotes from the books to friends, followed by the remark "YAAAS!". Read these books to inform your own understanding of what there is to be so excited about! -- Jinglan Wang, Executive Director of the Blockchain Education Network

Ten out of Ten -
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2017

Highly recommended - especially if you want to get the bigger picture of the potential (and almost certain) disruptive impact of Bitcoin and Ethereum technologies..

I have worked my whole life in IT, both building and selling software for and to banks, insurance companies and especially large investment companies. During that time I also must have been involved in 100's of legal contracts. Plus for the last 12 years I have lived in the Philippines owning and running a resort that everyday bangs into the problems of getting modest advance payments from prospective customers from many different countries (using credit cards, bank transfers, Paypal etc). All areas potentially impacted by bitcoin and Bitcoin technology..

Plus I am a very conservative investor, who scoffed at Bitcoin just 3 months ago and sagely told others not to be duped. But Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies started to interest me 2 months ago (late comer, yes!) and I started to do some research. The Internet of Money is about the 5th book I have read including the whole history of bitcoin (the currency) and Bitcoin (the technology).plus the history of money and credit in general. As a result I am now starting to understand the full potential of the disruptive long term impacts of fully open, infinitely scalable, decentralized, anonymous peer to peer technology supported by new encryption techniques and the immutable nature of blockchains. Plus the applications now being built on this technology such as smart contracts.

And the more you read, the clearer it becomes that we are indeed in a game-changing era. Maybe even more so than the early stages of the internet, which I started using in the early 90's. Especially, from the perspective of huge companies like banks, investment companies and maybe 70% of the globes currencies, etc etc. But also from the perspective of the under-banked and unbanked as Andreas calls these huge groups.

Certainly the short term (next 2 years?) will be very volatile, especially for those who invest in crytpocurrencies or crowdfunding. But the longer term impacts may turn out to be mind blowing and there will be big winners, big losers and big opportunities.

Without doubt, The Internet of Money Vol 2 will be the first book I will now recommend to my friends who are still skeptics or just starting to become interested in all the above. It is easy to read, concise, quite detailed, but not too much and most importantly keeps the big picture in focus at all times. Plus you can watch the podcasts if you prefer! ..

Andreas goes into deeper detail about the revolutionary impact of crypto currencies. I liked the analysis of bitcoin’s proof-of-work technology and the immutable nature of the blockchain history. The economic disincentives of a hypothetical, coordinated attack on Bitcoin are extremely convincing. A compelling comparison is made to alt-coins and proof-of-stake designs. I have a much better understanding of layer 2 solutions for scalability. There was a great section on layer 2 payment channels and the lightening network technology. Overall - an exciting, informative and easy read!

Insightful. Provides some good thought provoking ideas and also some insight and deep aha moments regarding bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as a whole.

Sometimes repetitive especially if you read the previous 2 volumes. Delivers a bit too subjective opinion and viewpoints up to the point where you cannot be sure whether you get presented with the full picture or not.

Phenomenal book that represents a collection of Mr. Antonopoulos’ years of dedication and monk-hood into the sector.

I read through it in 1.5 days and feel equipped to speak intelligently about the subject with others.

It’s a new sector where “in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king!”

Make yourself anti-fragile, eat some mud pies, and get to work -because progress waits for no one!

Recommendations to the author:

As an academic, your incredible work will experience, in my humble opinion, a force multiplier and enhanced authority, as a subject matter expert, through the robust use of references - which the present (2nd edition) currently lacks.

Call me and I’ll contribute to same. Cheers.

Thank you for your extraordinary effort within these two volumes.

Very Respectfully,

Sean M. Holt, MBA

Must read for anyone who wants to be a positive change in the world
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2018

Internet of Money Vol. 2 summarizes the latest changes in technology. As author himself put’s it, to keep up with the technology is almost impossible, especially since the rate of change is accelerating. Immensity of the change is hard to grasp, unless you start to consider it.
I definitely recommend to this to everyone who is interested in participating the world of tomorrow. Technology grants us power, it’s up to us to learn to how to use it virtuously. Possibilities are exciting!

My favorite picks from the book:
- “Bitcoin is not the money of the physical space, it is the money of the internet. Bitcoin is not the money of the nation - state ; it is the money of the world.”
- “Bitcoin is not the money of the current generation; it is the money of the generations to come.”

This book is a must read for anyone who wants to be a positive change in the world.

The first layer
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2017

Andreas is one of my favorite cryptocurrency experts who can boil down complex material so that anybody can understand it. Andreas' book is a great read and I highly recommend it for anybody interested in getting into the space. I've been in the space for several years, and there is nobody that can capture an audience like Andreas either through his writings or lectures. Andreas will help you understand the potential for this technology on a world-wide level; and when he says think of currency as the first layer; he means it as we are at the start of a enormous revolution. Buy the book and support Andreas as his passion for this field and helping others is second to none.
