Bryan Daugherty, the Public Policy Director at Bitcoin Association has published his new book The Bitcoin Letters. The book aims to help readers unlock the mysteries surrounding Bitcoin and essential concepts such as sustainability, regulation, and the transformation to Web2 and Web3.

Bitcoin has taken the world by storm, but there are still many things that need to be clarified about the technology. Through thoughtful analysis and engaging writing, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the intricacies of Bitcoin and how it is shaping the future of finance.

Additionally, the book includes three letters written to industry leaders – Elon Musk, NYS Governor Hochul, and SEC Chair Gary Gensler – that provide unique insight into the world of Bitcoin.

The fusion of data and finance

This chapter deals with a fundamental misunderstanding that has surrounded the discourse on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies ever since the reception of the Bitcoin white paper. Bitcoin has ever since been seen as a medium largely limited to financial transactions, whereas data transactions play a subordinate role at best.

Daugherty emphasises that both aspects play a significant role and that the merging of both worlds – finance and data – is what makes Bitcoin’s groundbreaking potential as a technology. He points out that this is already reflected in the name of Bitcoin, ‘as it combines “bit” for digital data and “coin” for financial transactions.’

The Global Policy Director of the BSV Blockchain Association goes into more detail. He explains how Bitcoin is also a network protocol, similar to the Internet protocol, which sets fundamental rules for an entire data network and can thus be used in an equally complex way.
