Imagine a world where you don't just use technology - you shape it. 

In a time where bitcoin and cutting-edge programming languages are transforming our future, the question isn’t just what or how to build the next great innovation. The question is why. 

Why should we, as creators, invest our time and skills in these technologies? This is the essence of "Building Bitcoin in Rust," a book that doesn’t just teach you the how and what, but why - inspiring you to create something meaningful, secure, and revolutionary.

Understand the Revolution: Why Bitcoin Matters

Bitcoin isn’t just a digital currency; it’s a revolution. It’s about taking control of your own finances without relying on banks or middlemen. In a world where trust in traditional institutions is increasingly shaky, bitcoin offers a decentralized, transparent, and secure way to transact. To truly appreciate the power of bitcoin, you need to understand how it works under the hood. That’s where this book comes in. It breaks down the complex technology behind bitcoin, guiding you step-by-step as you build your own blockchain and digital currency. You’ll not only understand bitcoin better but also gain a deeper appreciation for why it matters in today’s world.

Master a Cutting-Edge Language: Why Rust?

Now, you might be wondering, why Rust? What makes this programming language the perfect companion for building something as complex as bitcoin? Rust is known for its performance, safety, and fearless concurrency, making it ideal for systems programming. It's a language that lets you write code that is both fast and secure, which is exactly what you need when dealing with something as critical as digital money. Plus, Rust is fun! It's a language that challenges you but rewards you with powerful, bug-free code that just works. If you’re a young programmer looking to level up your skills, learning Rust through a project like building bitcoin is an experience that will push your abilities to new heights.

Embark on a Coding Adventure

"Building Bitcoin in Rust" isn’t just another programming book. It’s an adventure. You’ll start by exploring the bitcoin whitepaper, understanding its concepts, and then setting up your Rust environment. From there, you’ll tackle Rust’s learning curve head-on, mastering its unique features like ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes. But it’s not all theory - you’ll be coding all along the way, creating a CPU miner, designing a bitcoin library, building a node and even building your own command-line wallet. By the time you’re done, you won’t just have learned about bitcoin or Rust - you’ll have built your own version of a cryptocurrency, and that’s something to brag about.

Learn from a True Expert: Why Lukáš Hozda?

Lukáš Hozda, the author of this book, isn’t just another developer. With nearly a decade of experience in both bitcoin and Rust, he’s been at the forefront of these technologies. Lukáš discovered bitcoin in 2013 and has been using Rust full-time since 2015, working on projects that combine the best of both worlds. His deep involvement in the bitcoin space, his history in education and his quirky sense of humor makes him the perfect guide for your journey. Think of him as your personal Rafiki on this adventure - wise, insightful, and ready to help you unlock your full potential. Reading this book means learning from someone who has lived and breathed bitcoin and Rust, gaining insights that you won’t find anywhere else.

“Build with Purpose.” - Lukáš Hozda

Whether you’re driven by a passion for bitcoin or a desire to master Rust, this book offers you more than just a learning experience - it offers a chance to create something that can truly make a difference. It's for those who see beyond the code, who want to build with intention, and who believe that what they create today can inspire a better tomorrow. This journey is not just about learning - it’s about transforming your potential into something powerful and lasting.
