Resistance Money: A Philosophical Case for Bitcoin delves deep into the revolutionary concept that Bitcoin is not just a form of currency, but a powerful instrument of resistance against pervasive surveillance, censorship, and financial exclusion. Authored by the insightful minds of Andrew M. Bailey, Bradley Rettler, and Craig Warmke, this compelling read is a must-have for anyone interested in the philosophical foundations and transformative potential of Bitcoin. he book "Resistance Money: A Philosophical Case for Bitcoin," written by Andrew M. Bailey, Bradley Rettler, and Craig Warmke, presents an in-depth and nuanced argument about Bitcoin's role in the modern world.1 Instead of focusing on purely speculative or technical aspects that often dominate the headlines 4, the book advances the central thesis that Bitcoin is more than just money; it is "resistance money". The authors argue that in a world characterized by rampant inflation, creeping authoritarianism, widespread surveillance, censorship, and financial exclusion, Bitcoin empowers individuals to escape the reach and grip of institutions, both public and private.1
Adopting a philosophical approach that utilizes multidisciplinary analysis, this book explores Bitcoin's origins, how it works, and its place among other types of money.1 The authors then offer a framework for evaluating Bitcoin from a global perspective, critically examining its monetary policy, resistance to censorship, privacy aspects, inclusion potential, and energy use.1 The goal is to develop a comprehensive and measurable case that Bitcoin, despite its imperfections, provides a net benefit to the world.1 This book is aimed at a wide audience, from clueless beginners to specialists, from staunch supporters to the most vehement skeptics.1
