For those who come from different backgrounds with different questions in mind, The Handbook of Digital Currency is an essential starting point. 1. Discusses all major strategies and tactics associated with digital currencies, their uses, and their regulations. 2. Presents future scenarios for the growth of digital currencies. 3. Written for regulators, crime prevention units, tax authorities, entrepreneurs, micro-financiers, micro-payment businesses, cryptography experts, software developers, venture capitalists, hedge fund managers, hardware manufacturers, credit card providers, money changers, remittance service providers, exchanges, and academics |
