Re-Architecting Trust: The Curse of History and the Crypto Cure for Money, Markets, and Platforms

Re-Architecting Trust is a thought-provoking exploration of how decentralized blockchain networks and the digital assets that they enable can reinvent our most important trust frameworks by creating new types of money, reinvigorating how we transact the old kind, disintermediating the least trustworthy financial institutions, and enabling meaningful business models for artists and influencers. Omid Malekan, who has studied cryptocurrencies and blockchain for almost a decade, explains how the mishmash of technologies that enable Bitcoin can be applied to everything that matters to level the playing field, preserve your purchasing power, expand everyone's access to financial services, enable brand new business models, and elevate new new communities in an ever fracturing society. Known as the Explainer-in-Chief of crypto, Malekan has a unique ability to make complicated topics accessible to anyone. In Re-Architecting Trust he provides the reader with a guided tour of how money, markets, and platforms have evolved, where things have gone off the rails, and how we can restore integrity. No pie-in-the-sky fantasy, Malekan paints a compelling picture of where we are headed and how you can be a part of it.
