Wyatt O'Rourke's book examines the economic and institutional consequences of Bitcoin's integration into global finance.
He argues that Bitcoin's properties enforce discipline in capital allocation and can recapitalize balance sheets in a decentralized way.
The book surveys historical monetary failures, modern financial engineering, and proposes pathways for a Bitcoin-centric financial architecture.
Drawing on macroeconomics and industry examples, it advocates for infrastructure investment and sound money principles.
It serves as both analysis and a call to action for Bitcoin adoption within finance.
