Sunday Big Articles!

I like to read a lot during the week and sometimes good stuff go into my "SAVE" folder.
I'd like to share with you this folder as I think it can help your education in this crypto wild-west but also because reading is fun!!
Let's get to it.

#1. You Don’t Understand Bitcoin Because You Think Money Is Real

U.S. dollars are not backed by anything other than the faith of the fools who accept it as payment and of other fools who agree in turn to accept it as payment from them. The main difference is that, for the moment at least, the illusion, in the case of dollars, is more widely and more fiercely believed.
Money itself is an illusion, a mass hallucination. You’re working hard to make it, grow it, and keep it, but even so, the only real thing about it is its symbolic power. Which is indeed awesome, considered from a certain angle.
Essential and true, one of the first thing you learn when you join Steemit.

#2. Making Sense of "Cyrptoeconomics"

Cryptoeconomics is not a subfield of economics, but rather an area of applied cryptography that takes economic incentives and economic theory into account. Bitcoin, ethereum, zcash and all other public blockchains are products of cryptoeconomics.
Cryptoeconomics is what makes blockchains interesting, what makes them different from other technologies.

One of the most common mistakes in this industry is made by those who view blockchains only through a lens of computer science or applied cryptography.We have a strong tendency to prioritize the things we are most comfortable with, and see things outside of our domain of expertise as less important.

And other gems, in a long very interesting read! Do not miss it!

#3. The GREAT BTC bull market of 2017
