Bitcoin: From Pizza Money to the Biggest Bubble in History

We started this whole series with a guy paying a house price for three flower bulbs in 1637. Forty-one chapters later, we end with a guy paying 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas. Chapter 42 of Torsten Dennin’s “From Tulips to Bitcoins” (ISBN: 978-1-63299-227-7) tells the story of the biggest financial bubble in human history. Bigger than tulips. Bigger than gold. Bigger than anything we covered in this book. And it happened in our lifetime.
