The Age of Cryptocurrency is a specific Books coordinate in the Bitcoin knowledge graph. In practical terms, it identifies the subject described here: The Age of Cryptocurrency — by Paul Vigna and Michael J. Casey: the people, conflicts and primary records that shaped Bitcoin’s history. This definition is narrower than promotional usage and should be read together with the implementation, date and evidence attached to the entry.
Written by Paul Vigna and Michael J. Casey and first published in 2015 by Picador.
Use this book as a route into the people, conflicts and primary records that shaped Bitcoin’s history. Its Atlas links connect the reading to the people, mechanisms and events it discusses.
Primary or authoritative records make these details checkable: Paul Vigna and Michael J. Casey's The Age of Cryptocurrency reports the early development of Bitcoin and digital currency, combining technical explanation, industry history and global case studies from the pre-2016 period. They should be verified before using the coordinate in analysis.
The practical limit is: the book is a dated journalistic snapshot, so companies, regulation, mining and protocol status may no longer be current; forecasts and anecdotes require later evidence. A definition, office, chart pattern or published claim is not by itself a prediction or Bitcoin consensus rule.
For the clearest picture, read this entry together with Bitcoin, Bitcoin and financial inclusion, Digital Gold.
