Key takeaways

  • The book is a monetary argument. ChartClub does not adopt that argument as fact.
  • The April 2018 hardcover matches this cover. The ebook ISBN is a different format.
Wiley lists the hardcover as ISBN 9781119473862, April 2018, 304 pages. The ebook is a different ISBN. The stored cover is the hardcover file, which also names a foreword by Michael Saylor. Ammous compares monetary history with Bitcoin's design. That comparison is an argument. ChartClub does not treat a fixed supply, or a forecast of what that supply will do to price, as something the record has verified. This is context for how one economist frames Bitcoin. It will not tell a trader when to buy or how to size a position.
