About this book
In Myth of Money: Breaking Out of the Failing Financial System, renowned finance, crypto, and economics thought leader Tatiana Koffman delivers an insightful and informative take on the past, present, and future of money, and the rise of cryptocurrencies as a transformative force in the financial world.
Koffman has witnessed multiple financial collapses firsthand—beginning with the fall of the USSR, when her family lost everything, followed by the subprime mortgage crisis that marked the start of her new career, and then the economic fallout of COVID-19. As Bitcoin gains its footing globally, she has observed its meteoric rise and catastrophic falls with a keen understanding that these are early steps of a system poised to redefine finance.
Navigating her way from traditional finance and into the realms of venture capital, crypto, and digital assets, as she writes about fintech, Koffman's journey takes us from Eastern Europe to Canada, to Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador, to Lebanon, Dubai, Africa, Necker Island, and back to the States. Along the way, she shares hard-earned lessons about the myths surrounding money, even those emerging in the new digital era.
Throughout the book, her stories are paired with clear explanations and discussions of technical aspects of finance, in her trademark voice of clarity, incisively cutting to the core of complex topics in a relatable and easy-to-digest manner.
Koffman's unique perspective, drawn from her global experience and deep understanding of economic upheavals, makes Myth of Money an essential read for anyone interested in the future of finance and the potential of cryptocurrency to take the place of a system we can no longer rely on to create and safeguard wealth.
