THE MYTH OF MONEY

In Myth of Money: Breaking Out of the Failing Financial System, renowned finance, crypto, and economics thought leader Tatiana Koffman delivers an insightful and informative take on the past, present, and future of money, and the rise of cryptocurrencies as a transformative force in the financial world.

Koffman has witnessed multiple financial collapses firsthand―beginning with the fall of the USSR, when her family lost everything, followed by the subprime mortgage crisis that marked the start of her new career, and then the economic fallout of COVID-19. As Bitcoin gains its footing globally, she has observed its meteoric rise and catastrophic falls with a keen understanding that these are early steps of a system poised to redefine finance.

Navigating her way from traditional finance and into the realms of venture capital, crypto, and digital assets, as she writes about fintech, Koffman's journey takes us from Eastern Europe to Canada, to Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador, to Lebanon, Dubai, Africa, Necker Island, and back to the States. Along the way, she shares hard-earned lessons about the myths surrounding money, even those emerging in the new digital era.

  • “Koffman’s exploration of the financial world is both enlightening and deeply personal. Her ability to blend economic analysis with her hard-earned life lessons makes this book a must-read.”

    ―JAY ROSENZWEIG

  • Myth of Money is an adrenaline-filled & insightful journey into how our modern global financial system works (or doesn’t), and how bitcoin could reduce wars and be the ultimate store-of-value for the internet generation. This would have been way more helpful than my economics textbooks.”

    ―CHRIS PAN

  • “A rare blend of storytelling and economic theory, Koffman’s book challenges the status quo and offers new possibilities for the future of money. This book is required reading for anyone interested in the future of the global economy.”
