Ledger: First Scholarly Bitcoin Journal Invites Authors

Ledger (not to be confused with the hardware wallet company) aims to be the first of its kind: a bitcoin-only scholarly journal. Ledger plans on publishing original research articles exclusively about cryptocurrency and cryptocurrency-related topics, such as mathematics, politics, and economics, to name a few. Bitcoin is much more than a new way to transfer value from point A to point B. Bitcoin has the potential to make several sectors of industry, including the government, irrelevant. Frictionless payments — combined with transaction fees equating to pennies — is just the beginning.
