Publisher's Summary

A total beginner’s guide to the improbable history and possible future of cryptocurrencies.

Have you been hearing people all around you talking about Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies and wanted to learn more but are afraid it may be too technical to understand? Or maybe you just do not want to feel like an idiot for asking what cryptocurrency is? Well fear not, this book was written for you! This is a quick and easy-to-follow guide to all aspects of cryptocurrency. I avoid getting into complex details while providing clear examples and analogies to help the listener digest the information. 

In this book, I cover the history from which Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies evolved, and where they might go in the future. You will be taken through exactly what cryptocurrency is, and how it is different from fiat or paper currency. I will also explain what blockchain technology is, how it works, and what the various components are. Including coins, wallets, tokens, and smart contracts. You will discover what coin mining is, how it is done, and why. I will even cover the basics of cryptocurrency investment, including how to maintain value in a down market.

By the end of this book, you will probably know more about cryptocurrency than most of the people you hear talking about it. So, if you are ready to dive into the world of cryptocurrency and have been looking for a light listen on the subject, then look no further, this is your book!
