<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Crypto Asset Investing is the indispensable handbook showing new and experienced investors how to prosper in the bitcoin and cryptocurrency markets through established financial strategies including hedging and asset allocation. The book gives any investor the rules of the road for exploring bitcoin investing with controlled risk. It explains the economics and debt cycles that make bitcoin and other crypto assets smarter, more foundational long-term plays than investors understand. In many ways, this is the Stock for the Long-Run for the age of crypto investing but in a pocket book approach. The book proves that artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, and cryptocurrency are converging to deliver a new technological revolution. For the past 10 years AI, IoT and robotics have been delivering new solutions that drive automation. That has been valuable, Ryan holds, but it has not been transformational. These trends have not created a paradigm shift in how businesses operate."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Competition, the drive for efficiency, and continuous improvement ultimately push businesses toward automation and later towards autonomy. If a business can operate without human intervention, it will minimize its operational cost. If Uber can remove the expense of a driver with an autonomous vehicle, it will provide its service cheaper than a competitor who can't. If an artificially intelligent trading company can search, find, and take advantage of some arbitrage opportunity, then it can profit where its competitors cannot. A business that can analyze and execute in real-time without needing to wait for a human to act, is a business that will be able to take advantage of brief inefficiencies from other markets or businesses.</p> <p>This trend following a thesis that is based on 100 years of proven economic theory. Short-wave economic cycles, those 5- to 10-year cycles, are driven by credit but the long-wave economic cycles, those 50- to 60-year cycles, are driven by technological revolution. We've had 5 cycles over the past 200 years with the last wave, the Age of Information & Telecommunications.</p> <p>We've seen evidence that a new cycle has begun. Technological revolutions come by way of a cluster of new innovations. About a decade ago, you started to see AI, robotics and IoT (sensors) delivering on automation. That's been powerful, but not transformational. It does not force businesses to fundamentally change how they do business. The last piece of the puzzle was cryptocurrency because it allows us to process and transfer economic value without human intervention. Soon, there will be a global race to build autonomous operations. Businesses and organizations without autonomous operations simply will not be able to compete with those that do because ... autonomy is the ultimate competitive advantage.</p> <p>Crypto is the mechanism that will accrue value from being the infrastructure for the next digital financial revolution. <i>Crypto Asset Investing</i> lays out a case that we've begun a new technological revolution similar to the Internet Age of the 1990's.
