A Comprehensive Overview of the Past, Present, and Future of MoneyBroken Money explores the history of money through the lens of technology. Politics can affect things temporarily and locally, but technology is what drives things forward globally and permanently. The book's goal is for the reader to walk away with a deep understanding of money and monetary history, both in terms of theoretical foundations and in terms of practical implications.From shells to gold, from papyrus bills of exchange to central banks, and from the invention of the telegraph to the creation of Bitcoin, Lyn Alden walks the reader through the emergence of new technologies that have shaped what we use as money over the ages. And beyond that, Alden explores the concept of what money is at its very foundation to give the reader a framework to analyze and compare different types of monetary technologies and monetary theories.The book also takes a distinctively human look at how money impacts the lives of real people, and how new monetary technologies shape the power structures within society.In the modern era, energy abundance and technological enhancements have broadly improved human well-being, but the global monetary system has been slow to keep up. There are over 160 active currencies in the world, each with a local monopoly over its own country, and with little or no acceptance elsewhere. Many of them are rapidly diluted, which continually devalues the savings and the wages of the billions of people who live and work within those jurisdictions. Being born in the "wrong" country makes saving money far harder than it needs to be.Nigeria has a population of over 200 million people and has averaged 13% annualized inflation over the past decade. Egypt cut its currency in half relative to the dollar twice over the past decade, which instantly devalued the savings and wages of its 100 million citizens. Dozens of countries have experienced at least triple-digit year-over-year inflation within the past four decades, including Brazil that outright hyperinflated in the 1990s while it was the fifth most populous country in the world.Europe and Japan had $18 trillion worth of negative-yielding bonds in 2019, right before a wave of inflation wiped their purchasing power away. In 2021, the chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve dismissed the idea that the sharp rise in the money supply from the pandemic stimulus would lead to price inflation. By 2022, as major inflation emerged, the chairman rapidly changed his outlook and tightened monetary policy so quickly that it led to the failure of some of the largest banks in the country.How did we get to this point? Why isn't our money better than this in the 21st century? Broken Money answers these questions by examining the current mix of technology that has led to these limitations, and then explores emerging technologies that may be able to provide us with a monetary system that is fit for the modern era.

From authors Matthew Pines, Ben Kincaid, Robert Malka, James McGinniss, Lee Bratcher, Pierre Rochard, Lindsey Daley, Gabriel Royal, Thomas Wood, Ian Gaines, and Kyle Schneps...In an era where bitcoin’s influence is escalating, we examine its impact on national security.This book reveals:How bitcoin is shaping the observed and theorized national security practices.How it foundationally reshapes the question of energy security in a world of skyrocketing energy demand.How it will revolutionize socioeconomics and impact the political landscape.For laymen, civil servants, and policy experts of all backgrounds, National Security In The Digital Age brings together insights from leading thinkers in the field, charting a course for America’s continued leadership.What People Are Saying...“In our digital era where the very essence of power is being re-imagined, 'National Security In The Digital Age' is a clarion call for America to think boldly and chart its own course. This illuminating book explores how bitcoin can be wielded as a powerful tool to amplify our nation's strength and resilience. This is a must-read for anyone who seeks to understand the transformative potential of bitcoin and its role in shaping a more secure, prosperous, and sovereign future for America."~ Senator Cynthia Lummis"With topics ranging from the global monetary system to our power infrastructure, this set of essays informs the reader about the bitcoin network and how it is likely to impact many of the world's geopolitical structures in the 21st century. Most importantly, it helps U.S. policymakers and stakeholders stay ahead of changing trends, so that they can navigate them from a position of strength, rather than play catch-up from a position of weakness."~ Lyn Alden, Author and Founder, Lyn Alden Investment Strategy“If we judge that threats to American hegemony also represent threats to our core values, it is incumbent upon us to use every tool available to defend those values. This timely book illuminates bitcoin’s potentially revolutionary strategic impact on the breadth of those national challenges. These leading thinkers also articulate how the United States stands to benefit by embracing bitcoin not only as sound money, but also the technological innovations emerging in this ecosystem. This is a must-read for lawmakers and national security professionals alike who want to understand how this powerful protocol can not only help strengthen our national security, but also ensure that our core values define the politics of the 21st century in the face of an increasingly authoritarian geopolitical culture.”~ Kenneth Egan, Senior Operations Officer, Central Intelligence Agency (retired)“National Security in the Digital Age” is a calm, level-headed, fact-based contribution to the urgent and necessary conversation: how freedom and prosperity cannot only be maintained, but expanded peacefully across the globe in an increasingly volatile world. It is a must-read for everyone who wants to learn about the multi-faceted nature and systemically transformative role of bitcoin. And what a desirable future can look like once bitcoin is embraced as a strategic technological innovation for future-fit institutions.”~ Dr. Harald Rauter, Board Member, European Bitcoin and Energy Association Read more

Our current monetary system is broken. Inflation is rampant, our savings are being devalued, and it seems there is no hope for a solution. Fiat money is robbing us and our neighbors of our most valuable commodity - time. As Christians, we are called to love our neighbors, but how can we do that when the money we use is contributing to a system that is stealing from them? It may seem unconventional, but Bitcoin offers a solution to this problem. The Bible calls for a just and equal monetary system, free of fraud and deception - and Bitcoin fits the bill.Join Pastor Alin Armstrong as he delves into the intersection of biblical and monetary history, embarking on a journey that ultimately leads to the unlikely destination of Bitcoin, the native currency of the internet.
