About This Book
Bitcoin was promised to be a liberating technology—a free market alternative to state-controlled money. But that promise was broken when a small group of insiders took over the project and fundamentally changed Bitcoin's design. Few people know the true history of Bitcoin and its original design. Years of heavy censorship, social media engineering, and tight information controls have obscured the facts. Hijacking Bitcoin destroys the most popular narratives and sets the historical record straight. Roger Ver's passion and pain come through as he tells the story of a beloved project corrupted before his eyes. Written by one of the most prominent figures in cryptocurrency, this book is impossible to ignore.
