None of those wars included a full mobilisation of nearly all males and most females for fighting and war industry. It’s an aberration to even use the same word for these kind of conflicts, they where conceptually entirely different.

And I disagree about your analysis of the cause between the widening wedge between rich and poor. We saw a incredible growth of wealth for simple folks between 1850 and roughly 1960. That’s only possible in a system where you can accumulate wealth, money, to invest.

Since then we have inflation and things go south. It’s not just that things become more expensive. It’s that wages don’t keep up with inflation. It’s that you can’t save up for the future because just sending a kid to college is an impossible investment.

Personally I disagree with our entire economic model since the 1960s basically. The results simply do not convince me. All great periods in our history, classic Greek, Roman, renaissance, industrial revolution, they all happened under systems of sound money. And by the time they failed they had all invariably turned to soft money. It may not be the cause(though I believe it to be), but it’s certainly a symptom.

Explains it much better than I do, especially as I’m not a native English speaker. I recommend to read it, it goes quite in-depth on why it’s important to have sound money and what the consequences are, and historically have been, of not having it. History may not repeat itself, but it rhymes.

This book doesn't mention Bitcoin Cash at all because the posts predate the fork but has everything to do with it. I would highly recommend it. It covers more about Satoshi and a lot of his early posts and talks about bitcoin being money, why it was created, how it should work and why its designed like it is.

"I've been working on a new electronic cash system that's fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party."

I mean I posted sources you clearly didn’t bother to read them. If you actually want an answer to your question of why every country follows it, the simple answer is cui bono. What country wouldn’t want to have a system where they can unilaterally decide to print money to pay for anything they want without having to worry about raising taxes?

Here’s a couple more sources you won’t read if you want to better understand the inflationary system Keynes himself described as “a masterful manipulation.” https://bankunderground.co.uk/2017/08/08/your-country-needs-funds-the-extraordinary-story-of-britains-early-efforts-to-finance-the-first-world-war/

I don't know how exactly you retain information, everyone's differe t, I for example don't absorb efficiently when listening, but I do great when reading. I recommend this book: https://www.amazon.com/Bitcoin-Cryptocurrency-Technologies-Comprehensive-Introduction-ebook/dp/B01GGQJ2XW

Gibson, not Neil. I bought Neil,

The last I passed post I saw was listing this one, and the two below both have online practice material..

And how are those the top two , when Meyers is 5 stars....?

But even more technical is the Pearson exam cram, but if you want the book dont buy it off of Amazon but the Pearsonit site,

Sorry to pop your bubble but yes, very, very much so.

That's one of the preferred books of the bitcoin cult.

This is about building and managing an internal offensive security program. The focus is geared towards concepts such as leveraging "homefield advantage" and "embracing the red" to improve the security posture of an organization. Also talks about project and people management (and of course technical content).

Note: I'm the author - so I'm biased. :)

I would recommend the book Bitcoin for the Befuddled (link: https://www.amazon.com/Bitcoin-Befuddled-Conrad-Barski-ebook/dp/B00PYXN5N2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1515072148&sr=8-1&keywords=bitcoin+for+befuddled).

It is a straightforward explanation of the basics of bitcoin. It helped me a lot in understanding what exactly bitcoin and blockchain are and how they are used. After reading the book you will be able to understand finer details explored in other articles.

I’ve read parts of this to get up to speed with many security issues. Penetration testing is an especially good place to start if you want to be good with digital security. https://www.amazon.com/Basics-Hacking-Penetration-Testing-Syngress-ebook/dp/B005A3K4J4

Like others said, books can be good consolidated knowledge but start writing code and working with physical systems as soon as possible. If you’re already an established programmer or system architect, then you might be able to read whole sections before taking action, but this is all about experience.

Enjoy!

It's a long story. Read this book (https://www.amazon.com/Bitcoin-Cryptocurrency-Technologies-Comprehensive-Introduction-ebook/dp/B01GGQJ2XW/ref=pd_ybh_a_20?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=W0QTCV2Y10G4GWR703PE) if you want a solid understanding. It'll be a great investment for your time and $

If you're suspicious that large numbers of Reddit users are shilling for Ethereum, then you can't trust any answer you receive to this question on Reddit. You'll have to turn to other sources, or develop your own knowledge of the functions and problems of cryptocurrencies and how they compare to each other and fiat. I'm reading this book which I'm finding really helpful. It focuses on bitcoin of course, but is a good primer on cryptocurrencies in general.
