Overview
"How To Put Yourself On The Bitcoin Standard" is a way of life to put your personal finances on sound money. Over four decades ago, long before Bitcoin, Ugly Old Goat, a.k.a. Conrad Jules Braun pioneered modern free-market money and banking through the formation of Gold Standard Corporation. He understands private money and the gold standard better than just about anyone else and is both consistent and articulate in explaining its importance for the future. Although Braun sees Bitcoin as an important innovation, it is plagued with many of the same problems that plagued the gold standard and that evolved into crony capitalism, or what he terms Bitcoin Crony Capitalism. Throughout this book, Braun provides a provocative solution on how this trend may be reversed through individual human action.

About the author
Conrad Jules Braun is a maverick among entrepreneurs. Unlike many hard money advocates in his day, he never called for a return to a government-mandated gold standard. He advocated a free choice of currencies. If you want to trade with gold, fine, but in his view, you shouldn't attempt to force it on other people. The gold standard may not be the best standard; most assuredly he proclaimed a free and open marketplace can come up with something better. The vision manifested itself in the innovation, Bitcoin. Conrad failed miserably after a decade of pursuing his vision and paid the ultimate price of 11 years in federal prison. Known as Big Bird in federal prison and Bumble Bee Braun upon his release while campaigning to bring down his prosecutor, and he affectionately became known as Ugly Old Goat in the Bitcoin world.
