How did we get from gold coins to Bitcoin?
In Layered Money, Nik Bhatia reveals the fascinating journey of how money has evolved, from physical gold and early bank notes to the rise of digital and decentralized currencies.
Through clear, engaging storytelling, Bhatia explains how every era of money builds on “layers” of trust and technology, starting with Renaissance Florence and the gold Florin, moving through central banking and the U.S. dollar, and culminating in Bitcoin’s revolutionary design.
You’ll learn how Bitcoin reshaped our understanding of value, why central banks are racing to launch their own digital currencies, and what this all means for the future of the global financial system.
