Bitcoin Book - Gelaagd Geld - Dutch Language

From Gold and Dollars to Bitcoin and Central Bank Digital Currencies

Writing a timeless Bitcoin book is no easy task — especially now that the technology has reached the mainstream. Yet Nik Bhatia manages to do exactly that.

A Fresh Perspective on the Monetary Revolution

Despite the hundreds of Bitcoin books available today, Layered Money offers a uniquely original look at the very reason this monetary revolution exists. While many analyses simply repeat discussions on inflation, list various digital assets, or promote FIRE strategies, Layered Money goes deeper.

The Evolution of Financial Markets

This book explores, step by step, how financial markets developed over the centuries and which essential accounting foundations were needed to build the hyper-complex society we live in today.

Historical Examples of Monetary Systems

From the Medici family in Italy, to the Antwerp Stock Exchange, to the adventures of the Dutch East India Company, Bhatia examines how the first central banks emerged and how our modern monetary system took shape.

The Dollar and Its Expiration Date

Bhatia concisely (yet comprehensively) explains how the U.S. dollar replaced the British pound as the global reserve currency — and why the modern dollar pyramid is reaching the end of its lifecycle.

Why Historical Understanding Matters

Bhatia emphasizes that studying history — filled with monetary and financial experiments — is essential to assessing the health and sustainability of today’s global monetary system.

Conclusion: Bitcoin as the Solution

Armed with deep historical context, Bhatia arrives at the same conclusion many before him have reached:
Bitcoin fixes this.
