I got the day off today!
Harsh Doshi, an alumnus of GIPE and a friend, has written today’s post about bitcoins. Thanks, Harsh.
He has, he wrote to me in an email, used my style – which made me realize I have one. Still, here you go five (but who’s counting) links about bitcoins:
- Before trying to understand how the Bitcoin took form of money, commodity and security – something truly unique – it is important to understand what was the idea behind the genesis of the bitcoin. Read this whitepaper, authored by Satoshi Nakamoto. We are still unaware of who s/he truly is, or are we?
..
.. - The Economist explains lucidly what bitcoin is and how it works.
..
.. - Just what is bitcoin mining?
..
.. - Bitcoin, or in general crypto, is looked at as an advanced technology with the likes of AI and ML. But too much tech may also not be necessarily prone to disasters, one that has blocked $137 million.
..
.. - The Government of India and RBI, along with SEBI have banned cryptocurrencies and hailed the idea of blockchain, a decentralised ledger technology. Here is an article debunking the myth that separating the two will be good.

.. - Bonus: One of India’s most articulate voices on Bitcoin, here in his 20 min long TEDx Talk
