The Crypto Gambit

This book is for those who are not just interested in cryptocurrencies, but also eager to understand their place in the global economy, financial system and politics. It is for a thoughtful reader who wants more than hype, memes and fragmentary knowledge from social networks.

Above all, the book will be useful for representatives of government and regulatory agencies facing the need to develop a policy in the field of digital assets. We consider the crypto market not as some exotic technology, but as an element of the international financial infrastructure – with its risks, challenges and growth points.

It is also intended for company executives, investors and entrepreneurs who are already working with digital assets or are just considering such a step. For such people, the book gives holistic picture of what is happening – from tokenomics to legal risks, from geopolitics to scenarios of the future.

Special attention is paid to insiders, i.e. developers, traders, analysts, founders of Web3 startups. In addition to many familiar things, they will receive a helpful perspective from the "outside": how governments, big business, and traditional financial players view the industry.

Finally, this book is for journalists, lawyers, economists, teachers, and students who already have a basic understanding of the crypto industry and are going to learn more. It will help to combine technical, economic, and legal aspects and figure out where it is all heading.
