Saifedeen Ammous

Dr. Saifedean Ammous is the mind behind The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking, a best-seller that takes you on a journey through the revolutionary economics of Bitcoin. Imagine Bitcoin as the hardest, most resilient form of money ever discovered—unlike anything national central banks can offer. Curious yet? If you’re an engineer, prepare for a deep dive that’s bound to change the way you think about value, money, and what it means to go beyond borders.

With a Ph.D. in Sustainable Development from Columbia University (where he dissected the economics of biofuels and alternative energy), a Master’s from the London School of Economics, and an engineering background from the American University of Beirut, Dr. Ammous brings serious expertise to the table. And here’s the kicker: he’s applying his insights to Bitcoin—arguably one of the most transformative technologies of our time.

This YouTube channel is where he unpacks his research, going from the nitty-gritty of Bitcoin’s resilience to its potential to reshape global finance. So, whether you’re an engineer, a curious tech enthusiast, or just looking to understand the future of decentralized money, tune in! Just remember—this isn’t investment advice. It’s a chance to see if the world’s hardest money could live up to its promise. Do your research, dive deep, and prepare to be intrigued.
