物を売買し、支払う方法に何が起きているのでしょうか？おそらく銀行や両替商の必要性が無くなっているのかもしれません。これはビットコインやイーサリアムのような、仮想通貨の力で支えられた世界が到来するという過激な約束です。我々はまだそこには辿り着いていませんが、デジタル通貨の研究家であるネーハ・ナルラは、この生き生きとしたトークで、集団による虚構である貨幣について説明し、これによって大きく変貌する未来図を描いて見せます。

The paper that started a revolution. Satoshi Nakamoto released the Bitcoin white paper in October 2008 and the first version of the code in January 2009. At that time, Bitcoin was merely a novelty. Now Bitcoin’s market capitalization is around 10B USD.

"How the Bitcoin protocol actually works"
This article helped me understand how Bitcoin really works. It's an easy-to-read (though still quite technical) explanation, starting by building up a digital currency from scratch.
