Beschreibungen

<p><b>An insider's account of the rise of digital money and cryptocurrencies</b></p> <p>Dubbed "CryptoDad" for his impassioned plea to Congress to acknowledge and respect cryptocurrencies as the inevitable product of a fast-growing technological wave and a free marketplace, Chris Giancarlo is considered one of "the most influential individuals in financial regulation." <i>CryptoDad: The Fight for the Future of Money</i> describes Giancarlo’s own reckoning with the future of the global economy—at the intersection of markets, technology, and public policy—and lays out the fight for a Digital Dollar.</p> <p><i>CryptoDad</i> is Giancarlo's own personal story, detailing his forays into the world of Wall Street to his tenure as the 13th Chairman of the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), where he pushed for the agency to recognize the digitization of markets. His growing fame as a Twitter presence in this essential debate has given Giancarlo a platform to makes a case for the future of cryptocurrencies as the natural successor to America’s current failing financial market infrastructure.</p> <p><i>CryptoDad</i> provides readers with:</p> <ul> <li>A thorough exploration of digital change and how it affects the lives of everyone in a global economy</li> <li>A revolutionary consideration of regulatory responses to the rapid pace of technological innovation</li> <li>A call to update our aging financial organizations, particularly the infrastructure of money itself, and focus on renewed faith and confidence in free market innovation</li> <li>A foreword by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, two of the biggest names in cryptocurrencies</li> </ul> <p><i>CryptoDad</i> argues that the next digital wave will be the coming Internet of Value, where cryptocurrencies will do the Internet of Information did to immaterial things: make them accessible, distributable, and movable instantly across the globe. This book is an ideal introduction to the importance of technology in the marketplace.</p>

<p><b><i>Praise for</i> CryptoDad </b></p> <p>"Giancarlo has a rare gift for demystifying cryptocurrency, while also sharing his page-turning adventures as an ‘accidental regulator’ heading a major U.S. government agency. Young and old, disruptors and traditionalists, crypto believers and skeptics and the merely curious—everyone will love <i>CryptoDad!</i>"<br />—<b>JO ANN BAREFOOT</b>, CEO and Co-founder, Alliance for Innovative Regulation</p> <p>"Giancarlo is one of the few people who deeply understands the potential for crypto to transform our financial system, the regulatory framework in which these technologies exist, and the political realities to be navigated to help innovation thrive."<br />—<b>AVICHAL GARG</b>, Founder, Electric Capital</p> <p>"It takes guts to speak truth to power. Giancarlo's bird’s-eye account of using his position to challenge the status quo and demand respect for digitization of the financial world makes for gripping reading."<br />—<b>BLYTHE MASTERS</b>, Founding Partner, Motive Partners</p> <p>"A delightfully inspirational read discussing insights from the front lines of an emerging financial industry that is on course to change the world!"<br />—<b>ZAC PRINCE</b>, CEO, BlockFi</p> <p>"A lucid call to action for anyone who cares about money, prosperity, and freedom. <i>CryptoDad</i> sets out the dramatic opportunities as well as huge challenges of cryptocurrency. Giancarlo shows why key democratic values—like freedom of speech, economic liberty, and censorship resistance—must be encoded in the digital future of money and that members of free societies, not governments, must make it so."<br />—<b>DON TAPSCOTT</b>, Bestselling Author of <i>The Blockchain Revolution</i></p> <p>"Giancarlo is one of only a few lonely voices in government who is not afraid to call out the self-preserving resistance to innovation of the U.S. regulatory and political structure and why we need to embrace the creative destruction and growth that financial innovation promises."<br />—<b>BRIAN BROOKS</b>, Former Acting Comptroller of the Currency</p>
