Book ID/图书代码： 12580015B78765

English Summary/英文概要： itcoin has been one of the most talked-about stories, receiving extensive coverage on network news, mainstream magazines, and more. With a greater desire for further understanding of this popular yet complex innovation, BITCOIN AND THE FUTURE OF MONEY provides readers everything they need to know about bitcoin.

The digital currency founded by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009 is the hottest innovation in money since credit cards and online shopping. The currency is anonymous, can be used internationally, without the fees, government regulation, and oversight of banks and government-backed securities. The value of Bitcoin has grown from fractions of a penny in 2009 to $27 in 2013 to nearly $800 today, and Bitcoins are now being exchanged daily to purchase items such as food, tickets, electronic equipment and automobiles.

But Bitcoin is not without risk — the currency’s value has fluctuated wildly since inception and users’ digital wallets can be hacked. Author Jose Pagliery details the currency’s origins, the growth of exchanges and acceptance by mainstream merchants, market speculation, illicit use such as the Silk Road drug market, the collapse of the Mt. Gox exchange, and much more. Pagliery also provides readers with essential information needed to join the growing number of Bitcoin users.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 比特币总是会引起广泛的关注，占据网站新闻和主流杂志的大量篇幅。为了满足人们对这种流行却复杂发明的好奇心，《比特币和货币的未来》为读者提供了他们想知道的关于比特币的一切。

中村中原于2009年发明了电子货币，这成为了继信用卡和网上购物后最热的一种发明。这种货币是匿名的，国际通用，没有税收，不受政府约束，不受银行和政府抵押债券的监管。比特币的价值已经从2009年的一便士升值到了2013年的27美元，最近又到了800美元，而且如今比特币已经能在日常生活中兑换食物、票据、电气设备和手机等用品。

但比特币并不是完全没有风险的——货币的价值如今波动地很厉害，而且用户的电子钱包也很有可能被黑客攻击。作者乔司•佩吉力瑞详细解释了货币的起源，汇率的增长和主流商人的接受度，市场投资，货币的非法使用，例如丝绸之路毒品市场、Mt. Gox证券交易所的垮台，以及更多。佩吉力瑞也为想要投入比特币使用大军的读者提供了很多实用的建议。（XAT）
