The Great Bitcoin
Description
Book Introduction
If you don't know Bitcoin, you're at a loss.
It is impossible to truly understand the value of Bitcoin without a liberal arts background.
A practical economics book that instantly develops understanding and insight into currency.

Author Taemin Oh, who has emphasized Bitcoin as the most important intellectual phenomenon of our time, has released a new book that can be called the complete bible of Bitcoin.
This book, "The Great Bitcoin," clearly outlines the macroeconomic trends of Bitcoin from its birth to the present, leading up to the 2024 halving, and describes the history of Bitcoin's value. It also awakens the reader to Bitcoin's potential through detailed events intertwined with politics and business.

What makes the explanations of Professor Oh Tae-min, South Korea's leading Bitcoin authority and an exceptional storyteller, even more special is that he analyzes Bitcoin not simply from a technical perspective, but through a humanistic lens that integrates philosophy, science, and economics.
If you read this book, which consists of six chapters, carefully, your perspective on the history of civilization, centered on currency, economy, and even nations, will completely change.
Additionally, the vivid record of the experiment to reproduce the currency phenomenon of Bitmovic, a project he created that has become a project that has received unique attention during the cryptocurrency slump, is vividly described.

Publisher's Review
Bitcoin is immune to volatile geopolitical risks anywhere on the planet.
'International Assets' That Will Protect Us


To understand the meaning of these words by Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world's richest company, you must read this book.
Bitcoin has completely defied common sense.
Bitcoin doesn't guarantee anything.
As a valuable asset in itself, it is transmitted to the other side of the globe at the speed of light.
This shatters the current order, which presupposes assets bound by borders.
Because it does not go through the traditional financial network, it is free from bank failures caused by financial crises.
It is resistant to geopolitical crises and free from the moral hazards of self-serving elites.
Even mining, which is criticized as a waste of electricity, actually contributes to the efficiency of the electricity industry and the financialization of electricity.
Above all, Bitcoin's explosive power lies in its ability to transcend borders and achieve equilibrium anywhere.

Professor Oh Tae-min's excellent explanation is like listening to an expensive lecture!
A journey that goes beyond being an observer of monetary phenomena to hacking currency directly!


This book, consisting of six chapters, is comprised of the humanities background of Bitcoin's birth (Chapter 1), the absolute value of Bitcoin (Chapter 2), the phenomenon of currency and Bitcoin (Chapter 3), understanding ownership (Chapter 4), proof of Bitcoin's value (Chapter 5), and the aesthetics of mining (Chapter 6).


If you've only considered Bitcoin as an investment, this book might be a good way to re-evaluate your understanding of Bitcoin.
Let's understand how the Bitcoin network operates and focus on the Bitcoin currency phenomenon.
In particular, the author is no longer an observer of Bitcoin.
From the beginning, he has argued that the Bitcoin phenomenon is a scientific phenomenon that can be replicated.
After much thought, he and about 1,000 other participants replicated and compressed Bitcoin to create a monetary phenomenon.
Bitcoin has compressed the creation of currency, something that would have taken hundreds of years to observe, into just 10 years.
Bitmovic, created by the author, compressed this into one year.
This dazzling scientific success is because he approached Bitcoin from a humanistic perspective rather than viewing it as a product of technology.
In an era where the humanities are being neglected, a Bitcoin expert has proven the humanities' status as a "study for problem solving."
Bitcoin, whose true value can only be realized by thinking beyond the narrow perspective of economics and considering various aspects such as philosophy, anthropology, international geopolitics, and finance, is not only revolutionary, but also offers a wondrous intellectual journey to those who first grasp it, and even a fortune worthy of being called a miracle.


With the halving approaching, Bitcoin ETFs are being reviewed one after another…
2024, don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!


As many people know, the halving is Bitcoin's biggest event.
2024 is also the year when the third halving, which will halve mining rewards, will occur, and seven hedge funds, including BlackRock and Grayscale, will decide to list spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Compared to gold, which is often cited as a comparable asset to Bitcoin, the price of gold, which had been stagnant, continued its rally for 10 years with the introduction of gold ETFs in 2004, and as of September 2023, the market capitalization of gold ETFs reached a whopping 630 trillion won (52.6 billion dollars).
Given this, the prospect of $1 trillion in capital inflows when a Bitcoin ETF is listed is very realistic.
Additionally, the U.S. and Chinese governments, which are competing for global economic hegemony, hold large amounts of Bitcoin, ranking them 4th and 7th in the world, respectively.
This can be interpreted as a positive sign for the future value of Bitcoin.


The situation is one of inter-country hegemony competition, political ambitions, and corporate strategic disputes, all centered around Bitcoin.
In times like these, let's focus on the infinite value of Bitcoin and welcome the upcoming event with a peaceful mind.


Let's start by abandoning the idea that Bitcoin has nothing to do with our lives.

It wouldn't be wrong to think that Bitcoin is still a distant phenomenon.
Many revolutionary inventions, such as the first fire, the light bulb, and the Internet, have grown in the midst of public skepticism.
This book was written to change such narrow-minded views.
Double-spending problems, ownership, smart contracts, and other concepts are not easy.
The Bitcoin phenomenon, which blends the humanities, including monetary and financial theory, international law, philosophy, and science, cannot be understood through cursory study.
An open attitude and intellectual curiosity are essential to embracing this new phenomenon.
After reading this book, you will have a completely different perspective and a pioneering mindset.
