# The Digital Assets Revolution

**A First-Person Journey Through the Future of Money**

*By James Tylee - Wall Street veteran, blockchain strategist, and disability advocate*

> "If you build for the person with constraints, you end up with a system that works better for everyone."

## About the Book

This book is about financial infrastructure: how money moves, how stablecoins and digital assets work, and how systems succeed or fail. Underneath that, it is about what you learn when you are forced to see systems from the outside, from the position of the person they were never built for.

James Tylee spent three decades on Wall Street while also navigating his entire life in a wheelchair. Those experiences are not separate. They are the same lens applied to different systems, and together they produce a new argument about the future of money.
