Topic: Books to help you learn about bitcoin. (Read 391 times)

I was searching for some books related to Bitcoin, here some books have been suggested. All of these books will be useful to me. Thank you for suggesting some good books like this. I've already heard about "Blockchain Revolution". Here's the link I will be able to read the book. I think everyone should read these related books. Which can give us more knowledge about the cryptocurrency. Thank you once again for suggesting these books.

Great books but haven't there been so many about cryptocurrency books already on the forum its now sounds like merit hunting in a way.  And besides the internet has the answers when one is searching for books about most things and the OP links can obviously be gotten on net

There is some unfinished translation there. I do take part in Bahasa Indonesia translation but real life strike me hard, I don't have time to focus on translating at the moment. Will try to spend some time on my weekend for that beginning from this week.

Hopefully, more people will join and translate it.

I just finished The Business of Blockchain and thought it was a good way to introduce you on a lot of topics that you can then seek out if you find them interesting or want to learn more about

Here you can find Mastering Bitcoin in other languages: https://bitcoinbook.info/translations-of-mastering-bitcoin/ This is one of the best book regarding bitcoin since it is a sort of concentrated of pure knowledge about cryptocurrencies!

Yeah im suprised also, its like Bitcoin bible. Black book of bitcoin
Andreas deserves to be on this list high up.

Besides reading good books to get into the topic, I recommend to join "Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Technologies" course on Coursera.org which is conducted by Princeton University. The course is much more interactive than just reading books.

Hearing a lot of good things about 'The Bitcoin Standard - The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking' by Saifedean Ammous. Anyone read that and recommend it?

I have not/will not read any book about cryptocurrency,not cos they aren't helpful or informative,but simply because I prefer reading quality threads on this forum,to reading a monotonous book of some sort

The forum to me is more lively,and to learn is rather easier on it, and the books 8n question have to do with the writers ideas really
So it's not really a safe bet

Asides the forum,surfing the internet is the next option

Blockchain revolution is absolutely a good book for all sorts of investor or trader but past night I was going to download then it went to amazon and showed me around 20 usd so can anyone upload the book here?

I'm prefer Blockchain Revolution by Tapscotts. It's very detail book with history of bitcoin and cryptocurrency market with perfect analizing

I've read "The Age of Cryptocurrency", and I'd say that it's worthy of a read for every beginner. I'd recommend it.

I wouldn't necessarily read "American Kingpin" as a beginner unless you are into criminal stuff, but that essentially has very little relevance to how bitcoin actually functions and stuff like that that should actually matter to a newbie.

Anyhow, I think that reading these books would be tremendous help to beginners, since they do offer some different points and perspective compared to something like a tutorial online which may only cater to the general needs of beginners and not going into that much depth at all.

You can get all of these pretty much online, but if you're into old school, physical copies, then perhaps Bitcoin for Dummies would be for you, as it may be available in libraries. It probably would not go into as much depth and opinion than the others, though.

I have read "Cryptoassets: The Innovative Investor's Guide to Bitcoin and Beyond" (Chris Burniske and Jack Tatar). It is an engaging read but the key is in the title, it focuses on how to assess cryptoassets for investment. As such it does go into a lot of detail about trading theory and risk appetite so don't read it as an intro to crypto.

I can recommend 'Bitcoin: the future of money' by Dominic Frisby an English comedian/financial journalist. It is a few years old now but does a good job of explaining what money is, how fractional banking is problematic and what crypto offers. It does become a 'who dunnit' as he tries to figure out who Satoshi is, which is kind of redundant. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bitcoin-Future-Money-Dominic-Frisby/dp/1783520779

Jim Rickards has written some good books about the inherent problems of modern economic models. Though not about crypto - and he is a declared gold bug - they certainly provide plenty of ideas about what might precipitate the next economic crisis and therefore open the door for a new paradigm. He has a huge axe to grind but the content is interesting.
'Currency Wars' 'The Death of Money' 'The Road to Ruin'

I recently dowloaded a free PDF of 'Debt the first 5,000 years' David Graeber. This has achieved cult status among crypto enthusiasts. It is by no means an easy read - and I am only part way through - but if you want a deep-dive into mankind's relationship with debt from a monetary, psychological and theological perspective this will be right up your street.

"The Innovative Investor's Guide to Bitcoin and Beyond" by Chris Burniske and Jack Tatar, famous personal finance author. The book provides basic guidelines for Bitcoin investment and other digital money, discusses technology pricing, Bitcoin investment experience when to invest and know-how to guide in fever.

Here are some additional books.

Yup it works, good job OP, if you can't provide free ebooks in your links, providing their Amazon link is the best way to go.
Done!!! Thank You for sharing the link, it didn't even cost me a minute to sign up and download the pdf version of the ebook. The website is pretty straightforward unlike the previous links the OP has provided in his post.

Yeah, its most important position. Anything from Andreas Antonopoulos is solid knowledge.

Hey there, do you mind changing the links you provided in your post? Because aside from the first one you gave us all of them goes to a website (varemedia, cloudofbooks) that is hard to navigate and requires a sign up in order to download the book, but the weird thing is both of the websites wants me to sign up in a movie streaming website which is by the way a different website from where we needed to download the book. In other words the download links you gave us contains a lot of spammy websites and will redirect me to another website with just one click.
