Abstract
The topic of cryptocurrencies is increasingly addressed in articles featured in specialized and non-specialized media, as well as in central banks’ documents and by financial intermediaries themselves. However, it rarely receives a thorough theoretical analysis. This is the attempt by Amato and Fantacci, two of the foremost Italian experts on monetary economics who recently published an updated version of a work that analyses the Bitcoin system from a technical point of view but also to make a closer examination of its macroeconomic and policy implications
