The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking
Economics / Bitcoin
Ammous argues Bitcoin is the hardest money ever invented and traces monetary history from commodity money through the gold standard to fiat, showing how sound money produces flourishing while inflation corrodes it. Widely cited in a16z crypto circles as the foundational economic case for Bitcoin as an asset class rather than a payments experiment.
