Great education in Crypto. Loved this book from start to finish as it gives you a solid understanding and history of Crypto.

Loved it

This is a well-written book for those starting out in blockchain. Good structure to the book, working up from the basics of money to examples of cryptos. Avoids aggrandising crypto as many blockchain books do. Narrated in an entertaining fashion.

Excellent book for blockchain novices

The introduction to Cryptocurrency is fantastic! Also very clear and detailed but not too technical in terms of explaining blockchains. The history of how it all started is fascinating! I recommend this book to learn about Bitcoin and how it all begin...

Very intriguing and learnt a lot as a beginner!

The material in the book (understandably and expectedly) is very dense for someone new to the topic, however the writing and performance both make it as clear, accessible and engaging as possible. I was disappointed to finish it so quickly as I enjoyed it so much.

Realy engaging read for some difficult material

Good book, easy listen and while i do appreciate the dumbing down of the subject as much as possible, I'm wondering if it's possible to explain it to me like I'm 5 haha!

Bitcoin demystied

Overall it's not a bad read. but I really didn't enjoy listening to this audiobook. The content was not strong enough to grab the attention. Listening this audionook once is not enough.

Nice to read, but bit more technical

More about all money not just Bitcoin. So I'm disappointed and feel very ripped off.

not much
