Businesses, investors, and consumers are grappling with the seismic
daily changes technology has brought to the banking and finance
industry. The Money Hackers is the story of fintech's major players
and explores how these disruptions are transforming even money
itself. Whether you've heard of fintech or not, it's already
changing your life. Have you ever "Venmoed" someone? Do you think
of investing in Bitcoin--even though you can't quite explain what
it is? If you've deposited a check using your iPhone, that's
fintech. If you've gone to a bank branch and found it's been closed
for good, odds are that's because of fintech too. This book focuses
on some of fintech's most powerful disruptors--a ragtag collection
of financial outsiders and savants--and uses their incredible
stories to explain not just how the technology works, but how the
Silicon Valley thinking behind the technology, ideas like friction,
hedonic adaptation, democratization, and disintermediation, is
having a drastic effect on the entire banking and finance industry.
Upon reading The Money Hackers, you will: Feel empowered with the
knowledge needed to spot the opportunities the next wave of fintech
disruptions will bring. Understand the critical pain points that
fintech is resolving, through a profile of the major finsurgents
behind the disruption. Topic areas include Friction (featuring
founders of Venmo), Aggregate and Automate (featuring Adam Dell,
founder of Open Table and brother of Michael Dell), and Rise of the
Machines (featuring Jon Stein, founder of robo-advisor Betterment).
Learn about some of the larger-than-life characters behind the
fintech movement. The Money Hackers tells the fascinating story of
fintech--how it began, and where it is likely taking us.
