“In a time when the world grapples with economic uncertainties and mounting risks, books like Redza’s “The Digital Transformation of Money” is not just timely—it is timeless.”
– From the Foreword by Roshan Thiran, Founder, Leaderonomics Group of Companies

“In 2017, cryptocurrencies exploded into the mainstream led by the dramatic rise in the “value” attached to Bitcoin. At the same time, thousands of Altcoins magically appeared to ride the Bitcoin wave. Fast forward to today and the digitalisation of money is very real.

This book gives you the right foundation to better understand its potential impacts and how Bitcoin’s blockchain actually works. Read this book and gain insights into what the future may hold, and while no one can predict what will happen, you will have a better idea of what can happen.”
– Tan Tze Meng, Technologist and Industry Observer

“Bitcoin critics argue that it is a speculative financial instrument. However, its rapid adoption globally and across industries has increased confidence in its ability to digitally transform money. Additionally, Bitcoin has come to be the savior of individuals looking to preserve their wealth and purchasing ability. Its back-bone blockchain technology has sparked innovations such as smart contracts and digital immutable transactions; paving the way for greater demand for renewable sources of energy to enable it.

This book is written to spark your thinking on how it may benefit citizens, societies, and nations. It is well written and easily digestible for those who are new to the world of cryptocurrency.”
– Anand Panchalingam, Business-Tech Leader
