Publisher's summary

After more than a decade of Bitcoin, which has now moved beyond lore and hype into an increasingly robust star in the firmament of global assets, a new and more important question has arisen. What happens beyond Bitcoin? The answer is decentralised finance - 'DeFi'.

Tech and finance experts Steven Boykey Sidley and Simon Dingle argue that DeFi - which enables all manner of financial transactions to take place directly, person to person, without the involvement of financial institutions - will redesign the cogs and wheels in the engines of trust and make the remarkable rise of Bitcoin look quaint by comparison. It will disrupt and displace fine and respectable companies, if not entire industries.

Sidley and Dingle explain how DeFi works, introduce the organisations and individuals that comprise the new industry, and identify the likely winners and losers in the coming revolution.

Excellent!

My only reservation is the data cutoff was 2021. I would love to read an updated or follow-on to this.

Excellent introductory book

Beyond Bitcoin does a great job of being accessible to anyone interested in understanding more about decentralized finance and the future of money. The book also does a great job in presenting a simple and concise overview of the defi landscape as well as presenting a basic chronological timeline of developments relevant to Crypto and defi. Highly recommended.
