About the AuthorMichael McGilbourne's life mirrors the monetary evolution he chronicles in 2140 - The Rise of Bitcoin Citadels Chronicles. His journey from London's financial district to writing this book as a traveling digital nomad embodies the very transformation he envisions.Starting as an intern at a London stock broker, Michael progressed to become a financial advisor in the USA and later worked in foreign exchange risk insurance, where he witnessed firsthand the institutional machinery that maintains fiat monetary hegemony. His experience in traditional finance and risk assessment gave him unique insight into the systemic vulnerabilities that Bitcoin's mathematical certainty addresses.Leaving traditional finance behind, Michael established yoga studios and an off-grid retreat center in the French Alps, learning to create harmony between human needs and natural systems. Like the Rio Verde facility in his novel, this experience proved that technology and nature need not be adversaries.For the past several years, Michael has embraced Bitcoin's borderless promise, traveling the world as a digital nomad with his wife and three daughters. This family journey across continents embodies the geographic freedom that Bitcoin enables.2140 - The Rise of Bitcoin Citadels Chronicles was written entirely on the road, composed in cafés from Lisbon to Bali, mountain retreats from Munnar, India to the South African bush, and during flights between continents. His daughters, aged 10, 14, and 16, serve as his generational compass, naturally grasping concepts that older minds struggle to understand.Inspired by The Bitcoin Standard and countless encounters during his travels, from witnessing hyperinflation in Turkey to observing remittance flows in Southeast Asia, Michael bridges the gap between Bitcoin's technical community and the broader public seeking to understand what this technology means for humanity's future.He believes we are living through the opening chapters of the story he's written, and that the best way to understand the future is to participate in creating it.2140 - The Rise of Bitcoin Citadels: Genesis is the first book in a planned multi-volume series exploring Bitcoin's evolution through 2140 and beyond.
