Fiat is failing.
Bitcoin wasn’t an accident.

About the Book

Something is wrong with your money. Most of us can sense that. But the full picture is always hidden behind complicated words, confusing charts, and broken promises. What if everything you thought you knew about money was wrong?

From the collapse of empires to the rise of fiat currency, Satoshi’s Gift traces the arc of monetary history with clarity and conviction—revealing how the global financial system became fragile, manipulated, and unsustainable. In this timely and provocative book, Michael Hollomon Jr. unpacks the economic, political, and technological forces that led to Bitcoin’s creation—and makes the case that it may be our last, best chance to reclaim financial sovereignty in a world addicted to debt, inflation, and centralized control.

Satoshi’s Gift is not about investing. It’s not about getting rich quick. It’s about something bigger—something deeper: the right of free people to work, save, build, and plan for the future without having their time and energy stolen from them through hidden inflation, systemic exploitation, and the obscure wranglings of powerful governments and too-big-to-fail banks.

You don’t need to be an economist, a computer programmer, or a cypherpunk to understand this book. You just need to be curious about what’s really going on and to want a future where your money, your work, and your time belong to you again.

The future of money isn’t coming. It’s already here. And Satoshi’s Gift is your guide to a fuller understanding of it.

Editorial Reviews

Satoshi’s Gift is a spirited introduction to the promise, history, and power of Bitcoin. In crisp and inviting prose, Hollomon demonstrates dismaying flaws in the present financial system that will set readers’ minds reeling. He builds an up-to-date case for Bitcoin as an urgently necessary development—and predicts nothing less than a toppling of the global financial order.

The author, an attorney and expert on the history of financial systems, presents a clear-eyed and stirring argument for the future of bitcoin, in crisp, smartly opinionated prose that’s always clear and never condescending. His knowledge and enthusiasm will win over all but the most skeptical readers.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Readers’ Favorite (5-star review)

Satoshi’s Gift isn’t another explanation of technology or an argument about markets. It’s something more human. Hollomon writes in a voice that is easy to follow for those who know only a little, but intellectual enough not to patronize those who know more. He does not demand belief in Bitcoin; he asks us to look plainly at what belief has already cost us. The author proves himself as an absolute authority through his writing. Very highly recommended.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Goodreads Reader (5-star review)

Satoshi’s Gift is a breath of fresh air. It isn’t just a manual on how blockchain works; it’s a narrative about why it matters. The tone is perfect for either the casual reader who knows nothing about cryptocurrency or the most scrupulous of grizzled readers. It feels like grabbing a coffee with a mentor who actually knows what they’re talking about but doesn’t need to use confusing jargon to prove it. Hollomon writes with a sense of urgency and genuine passion that makes the subject feel relevant to everyday life. Highly recommended for anyone looking to understand the ‘Big Picture’ of the digital gold rush.
