A book by Yuri Molchan

In Bitcoin We Trust

Angels and Demons of the New Crypto Faith

What if Bitcoin were a religion? Meet its saints, its heretics, and its false prophets.

Crypto, seen through the lens of faith

In Bitcoin We Trust is a series of brief, provocative essays designed to introduce complete newcomers to the strange, fascinating universe of cryptocurrency. Using bold, often humorous parallels to religion, the book unravels one of the most misunderstood yet transformative forces in modern finance.

From the mysterious disappearance of Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, to the rise of a global movement treating crypto as sacred scripture, In Bitcoin We Trust explores the faith, fanaticism, and future of decentralized money.

Blending financial insight, cultural critique, and mythological flair, this book reveals both the light and shadow of the crypto age. Whether you're a skeptic, a true believer, or just crypto-curious, it will challenge everything you think you know about money, technology, and belief itself.
