“If you don’t know Bitcoin， the loss is yours。”

Understanding the value of Bitcoin is impossible without knowledge of the humanities。 This practical economic knowledge book enhances your understanding and insight into money。

Author Oh Tae-min， who has emphasized that Bitcoin is the most important intellectual phenomenon of our time， recently released a new The Great Bitcoin。 Acclaimed as the complete bible of Bitcoin， his book offers a comprehensive summary of the macroscopic trends of Bitcoin from its inception to the present， as it approaches its half-life in 2024。 It describes the history in which Bitcoin has proven its value， awakening readers to Bitcoin's potential through detailed events intertwined with politics and the corporate world。

Known as Korea's leading authority on Bitcoin and an outstanding storyteller， Professor Oh Tae-min's explanation is unique because he analyzes Bitcoin not just technologically， but through humanistic reasons， integrating philosophy， science， and economics。 After reading the six chapters， readers will find themselves with a completely different perspective on the history of civilization， not to mention currency and economy。 Additionally， the book vividly records the experiment to reproduce the monetary phenomenon of BTCMobick， a non-listed token he issued that garnered unrivaled attention during the cryptocurrency recession。

The book details the journey from being an observer of currency phenomena to directly hacking currency。
It consists of six the humanistic birth of Bitcoin （Chapter 1）， the absolute value of Bitcoin （Chapter 2）， the phenomenon of money and Bitcoin （Chapter 3）， understanding of ownership （Chapter 4）， proof of Bitcoin's value （Chapter 5）， and the aesthetics of mining （Chapter 6）。

If you've only thought of Bitcoin as an investment， this book will redefine your understanding of it。 Let’s explore how the Bitcoin network operates and focus on the Bitcoin currency phenomenon。 The author is not just an observer of Bitcoin; from the beginning， he has argued that the Bitcoin phenomenon is a scientific one that can be reproduced。 After extensive effort， he， along with about 1，000 participants， recreated the monetary phenomenon by imitating and compressing Bitcoin。 Bitcoin has compressed the centuries-long process of currency birth into just 10 years。 BTCMobick， the token he created， condensed this process into one year。 This remarkable scientific success was achieved by approaching Bitcoin from a humanistic perspective， not just as a technological product。 Thus， this Bitcoin expert has proven the status of the humanities as a ‘study for problem-solving’ in an era when the humanities are often overlooked。

Bitcoin， whose true value can only be realized by breaking away from the narrow perspective of economics and thinking from various angles such as philosophy， anthropology， international geopolitics， and finance， is not only revolutionary but also provides an intellectually enlightening journey for those who realize it first。 It can even bestow good fortune akin to a miracle。

If You Think Bitcoin Has Nothing to Do With Your Life， You Are Wrong

It's understandable to think that Bitcoin is still a phenomenon far from your everyday life。 Many revolutionary inventions， such as mankind's first use of fire， the light bulb， and the Internet， developed their influence amidst similar public skepticism。 This book was written to change that narrow view。 Concepts like double-spending issues， ownership， and smart contracts are not easy to grasp。
