Kaum ein Hörbuch hat bisher so kurz und treffend die vielfältigen Hintergründe und sozialen Auswirkungen von Bitcoin beschrieben wie Knut Svanholm's "Bitcoin: Selbstbestimmung durch Mathematik". Der Hörer wird so kompetent über die technischen und sozialen Implikationen aufgeklärt, dass man fast zwangsläufig zum Bitcoin Maximalisten wird, wenn man es nicht sowieso schon war. Als eines der wenigen Hörbücher aus dem Bereich "Bitcoin" beschäftigt sich dieses Werk sehr intensiv mit unserer Gesellschaft und den positiven Dingen die Bitcoin als faires und solides Geld mit sich bringen könnte.

Praxeology, the science of human action, is a lens through which truthfulness of the world is revealed. Truth goggles, if you will. Praxeology teaches us that everything going on in our society is rooted in the wills and desires of individuals. Starting from an irrefutable set of statements about human beings, we can come to conclusions about human behavior that are true regardless of what any political ideology might assert.

This follow-up to Bitcoin: Sovereignty Through Mathematics describes the old boxes we have been operating within, and how Bitcoin encourages us to challenge and reshape them. It takes the listener deeper down the rabbit hole and reveals how the honey badger that lives there is still indifferent to people's opinions about it. 

What makes Bitcoin so special? What sets Bitcoin apart from every other monetary asset that preceded it? What is a monetary asset, in the first place? What is money? What is inflation? Who benefits from it? What is scarcity? Is Bitcoin's mining process wasteful? Is Bitcoin a religion or a rejection of religious beliefs? All of this and more are discussed in this audiobook.

We're all chained to the unforgiving arrow of time. We're born, we live, and we get old. At least, that's what we hope will happen. Then we die. None of us humans are millionaires in terms of hours, yet we sacrifice our most valuable and scarce asset just to stay alive in the hamster's wheel one more day. In pursuit of saving time, Satoshi stumbled upon a discovery of a new, weightless, absolutely scarce element. The showstopper for each and every time thief. Element zero. Bitcoin.
