The Future of Finance: The Impact of FinTech, AI, and Crypto on Financial Services

This was VERY informative and lays out the history of fintech and evolution of cryptocurrencies and potential applications in the future. The concept around why crypto was created, applications for financial service institutions and the role large tech will likely play is fascinating. Henri and Fabrice are affectively saying that Facebook, Google, Amazon will be the future of fintech as opposed to fintech companies or banks launching products given the distribution and trust built to customers. This takes a very complicated topic specially around the regulatory and government policy side and speaks in digestible, layman terms.

Beautifully explained with both data as well as extrapolation into the future. For a techie exploring the enigmatic world of Fintech this book will provide the necessary vision and data.

Very useful book for anyone looking to understand the basics of Fintech, Bitcoins and Digital Assets.

This book is very uneven. The first couple sections of the book are quite basic and won't be useful to anyone already familiar with fintech. For those unfamiliar with either finance or the basics of modern IT infrastructure it is probably useful. But Then the cryptocurrency section will not be useful since it will be way over such a person's head. This section goes much deeper than the first two parts of the book. The section on AI was somewhere in between. Bottom line, I learned very little from this book and I'm not sure what audience would find it useful.

If this insightful book doesn’t cause you to take stock of the world around you and how it operates, I’m not anything will. Plenty of food for thought contained there-in. An enlightening read from cover to cover.

the best book of all time , is so awesome

A really comprehensive work starting from the basics but getting into great details as well. Also, despite the complexity of the topic it is relatively easy to understand. A must read for everyone who is in the financial services industry or just want to get up to speed in the “magic three” of Fintech, AI and Crypto and their impacts on the future of the industry.

Very good book for anyone who wants to understand FinTech, crypto or AI and their impact on the future of finance. I found the section of the book that explains the basics of Bitcoin and Blockchain particularly useful. The authors teach in universities and thus the book is written in a textbook style that explains the different concepts clearly and in an easy to understand format even for someone with no background in these areas.

After reading it appears like some industrial report. Full of company/ industry statistical numbers which may change frequently. So it will not value to readers who are reading this after 6months or 1 year. Somewhere lagging in explaining the facts in common people language.
