Three Days Free Copies – Money, Internet, Currency!
The book, "Money Emission for Everyone", written by the German author Olga Foertsch has recently also been made available for English-speaking readers.
Originally published in German in 2012, the book introduces a new concept that could fundamentally change the way modern society is supplied with money. The English translation is available as Kindle-ebook on Amazon. Interested readers can download free copies between the 4th and 6th April, 2014.
Recent turbulences surrounding the Bitcoin once again show how elaborate number games are not enough to design a currency that deserves the name. That is to say that limited supply is not the only thing that makes money out of an economic good and encryption algorithms are not the only thing that a modern method of payment requires.
But what must we look out for in a viable cyber-currency? "Money Emission for Everyone" fills this knowledge gap and answers the question how to introduce such an internet-based and independent method of payment into the world.
