Bitcoin Magazine Books Opens 333-Copy Genesis Book Collector Edition for 3rd Anniversary<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Bitcoin Magazine Books opened<\/a> a third-anniversary campaign Friday for Aaron van Wirdum\u2019s The Genesis Book<\/em>, offering a redesigned Collectors Edition limited to 333 hand-signed, individually numbered hardcovers in an exclusive Genesis Block slipcase.<\/p>\n

Each Collectors Edition hardcover is hand-signed and hand-numbered by van Wirdum, the former Bitcoin Magazine<\/em> editor-in-chief whose book traces the people, projects and ideas that preceded Satoshi Nakamoto\u2019s peer-to-peer cash design. The standard package<\/a> is priced at $221 and pairs the book with a limited trading card carrying a Certificate of Authenticity, a collector pin, a sticker sheet, the slipcase and a digital package.<\/p>\n

Two one-of-one packages sit outside the ordinary number queue. The #1 package<\/a> is listed at $5,000 and the #21 package<\/a> at $2,500; each includes the matching numbered copy, a matching one-of-one collector card and the same accessories as the standard collector package.<\/p>\n

Standard collector numbers are assigned in purchase order starting at #2 and skipping #21, the campaign FAQ says. Once preorders close, the signed Genesis print run will not be reproduced.<\/p>\n

What ships with the anniversary editions<\/h2>\n

Beside the signed run, Bitcoin Magazine Books is selling a Premium Edition<\/a> hardcover for $160 with foil stamping, a ribbon marker, stained page edges and custom endsheets. That edition is not limited, signed, numbered or slipcased, and it does not include the collector accessories or digital files.<\/p>\n

A standalone Digital Package<\/a> at $9.99 delivers the ebook in EPUB and the audiobook in MP4 immediately after purchase, independent of whether the physical campaign clears its funding bar.<\/p>\n

Physical collector and premium orders are scheduled to ship in calendar year 2027.<\/p>\n

Van Wirdum<\/a>, who discovered<\/a> bitcoin in 2013 and later led Bitcoin Magazine<\/em>\u2018s editorial desk, frames The Genesis Book<\/em> as a history of computer scientists, privacy activists and heterodox economists who chased government-independent digital money long before the 2008 white paper \u2014 from early cypherpunk culture through experiments such as David Chaum\u2019s ecash, Wei Dai\u2019s b-money, Adam Back\u2019s Hashcash and Hal Finney\u2019s reusable proof of work. <\/p>\n

Store images for the slipcase and accessories are artistic renderings; the campaign page notes that color, materials and finishes may vary in production. The campaign is operated by BTC Inc., which publishes Bitcoin Magazine<\/em>.<\/p>\n
