Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies represent a revolution in the history and future of money and monetary policy. Despite this, very few people fully understand the true nature and potential of Bitcoin.

In Catching Up to Crypto: Your Guide to Bitcoin and the New Digital Economy, Cryptocurrency expert and commentator Ben Armstrong delivers an exciting and approachable roadmap to Crypto, Bitcoin, and digital economics. He explains what Bitcoin is, how it works, and how and why we're transitioning to a digital economy. He also discusses how traditional fiat currency is used today, how it's manipulated, and how we can all benefit from the use of digital currencies.

The book explores monetary policy and ownership through Bitcoin, as well as the history of Cryptocurrency and how it rapidly gained so much value over the few years it's been in existence. You'll discover how the technology on which Cryptocurrencies are built--blockchain--works in the real world and during day-to-day interactions and transactions.

Catching Up to Crypto explains the importance of Bitcoin's lack of necessary intermediaries and third parties while demonstrating the value and nature of modern concepts of digital ownership. Finally, you'll learn about where Bitcoin came from, how it almost died out, and how it went on to take over the world.

Praise for CATCHING UP TO CRYPTO

"Ben has a lot of experience in the Crypto markets. We're bullish on this book!"

--Aaron and Austin Arnold, Altcoin Daily

"If you have 10 min a day, you can improve your life by self-educating. I highly recommend you spend some of that time reading Catching Up to Crypto and let Ben guide you through the ups and downs of Cryptocurrency. There's no better way to learn than with one of the best!"

--CryptoWendyO, Founder and Host of The O Show

"I bought an NFT beat produced by Eminem for $100,000 at ShadyCon in 2021. I dove headfirst into an extremely complicated space with no real knowledge of its landscape--and Ben was an integral part of helping me navigate the learning curve. Not only did Ben smarten me up to the world of Crypto and NFTs--he did so in a way that I'm positive could help many more people."

--Tom MacDonald, Rapper, Songwriter

"Ben is a great guy, an OG in the Crypto space with so much knowledge. This book can be super useful for people entering the space wanting to understand Bitcoin and the revolution happening here!"

--Randi Hipper, "Miss Teen Crypto"

"I've known Ben since he had tens of thousands of subs on YouTube and he was always funny, true to himself and others, and just eager to educate in any way he could. That passion has not only fueled his massive growth on YouTube but as a person and I'm grateful to consider him a friend."

--Jason Appleton, The Crypto Crow Show
