It is important to stay at home and keep up with current events to take care of ourselves and behave responsibly as a community during this pandemic, but it can also be exhausting.
Once upon a time, we were both cryptocurrency and blockchain newbies. We attempted to compensate for our flaws by reading endless mind-numbing Telegram chats.
However, there is an easier way! Books, please!
7 Books to Teach Cryptocurrency
In this article, we’ve assembled a small list of seven Cryptocurrency books that will help you stay amused during your time in isolation. This will assist you in better understanding space, increasing your resources, or simply expanding your knowledge base.
1- The Bitcoin Standard, by Saifedean Ammous
“The Bitcoin Standard” examines the historical background of Bitcoin’s rise. It also examines the financial properties that have aided its rapid growth and the possible economic, geopolitical, and social implications. However, Bitcoin is a digital age innovation. It aims to solve the problem as old as the human community: moving money through time and space.
2- The Book of Satoshi, by Phil Champagne
Like the currency he made, Satoshi Nakamoto’s identity is a fictitious person who only exists online. The Nakamoto identity, referring to an entity or a collective, only existed in the early online publications that presented and clarified Bitcoin. The Book of Satoshi is a handy tool for parsing through what Bitcoin’s founder wrote during the two years that made up his “public life” before vanishing from the Internet.
3- Digital Gold, by Nathaniel Popper
Popper relates Bitcoin to gold as a measure of wealth, as the title suggests. While the analogy might no longer be valid – the book was published in 2015, after all – it is still worth reading, considering the uncertainty and volatility that Bitcoin has seen during the last 18 months.
Popper, like Frisby, examines the origins of Bitcoin, who developed it, and who are now the dominant players in the room. In 2015, the book received a nomination for the Financial Times Book of the Year.
4- The Internet of Money, by Andreas M. Antonopoulos
Andreas Antonopoulos is a well-known figure in the cryptocurrency world, and you may have heard of him. However, he focuses on Bitcoin, so take everything he says with a grain of salt. His book, The Internet of Money, is, however, well worth reading.
Antonopoulos takes a look back at how Bitcoin got its start, how it’s evolved. Also, how it’s evolved into more than just a digital currency. He mentions a lot in the cryptocurrency and blockchain room. So having a detailed knowledge of what he’s talking about might be beneficial.
5- Blockchain Basics, by Daniel Drescher
If you aren’t very professional, learning about cryptocurrency and blockchain can seem to be an insurmountable task. Now don’t worry. Drescher is here to guide you.
Drescher simplifies things without resorting to abstract concepts, formulas, or scripts, building on a framework set out in the first few chapters. After reading all 25 sections, you should understand the general concepts that define what a blockchain is.
6- Cryptoassets, by Burniske, Chri
By two cutting-edge experts, a creative investor’s guide to an entirely new asset class. This easy-to-understand guide from two industry professionals explains how to tackle the new glorious blockchain environment and how to invest in such revolutionary assets to protect your financial future.
The authors create a simple and unique crypto-asset taxonomy. It includes cryptocurrencies, crypto commodities, and crypto tokens and an analysis of how each segment blends innovation and economies.
7- The Age of Cryptocurrency, by Vigna, Paul
Vigna and Casey deconstruct cryptocurrency, explaining where it came from, how it works, and what you want and need to know to manage the cyber economy. The era of digital currencies would be quite different from the way of paper currency; The Age of Cryptocurrency will show you how and when to prepare.
It seems that you can use it to buy everything from espresso to cars, but few people always seem to know what it is. This begs the question: so why would anyone be interested in bitcoin? In their book The Age of Cryptocurrency, Wall Street journalists Paul Vigna and Michael J. Casey have the precise conclusion to this issue.
Wrapping It Up!!!
This isn’t a comprehensive list; there are just as many Bitcoin books as altcoins out there. However, these are a few of our favorites, and they make excellent starting points for newcomers and refreshers for experienced holders. They’re books that anyone interested in cryptocurrencies and blockchain should have on their bookshelf.
