The Book

I've decided to write a visionary book called The Future of Money, in which I will provide my forecast of what money landscape shifts we can expect in the next 10–30 years.

It is more about challenging myself. First, I will need to seriously weigh everything and put a multi-dimensional future in an understandable format. Second, I will have to write in English. And last but not least, the book must be interesting for readers.

Why money? The answer lies in the fact that money is perhaps the most confusing tool of everyday use. No one ever thinks about how it works, but everyone needs it.

In all my endeavors, it is often vital for me to lay out the direction of work through a title from which I can develop a story. A story to be told to the community of people with whom I work on a product as well. I have already set the direction: the book will cover the future of money. But if I was going for a concise title, I would consider Money 2.0—an implication that all the previous monies were only the first version.

And if you think that I want to simply pick up a pen and start writing, you totally miss the point. I will try to make this book using GitHub, with pull requests so widely seen within this specific environment, so that anyone can add their knowledge and correct my mistakes. All the fact-checking and proofreading will be paid with a project coin, thereby proving in practice that private money is already working today.

I am going to donate all proceeds from the book to the Minter Development Foundation, for the benefit of the development of the Internet of Money.
