Topic: Buy a book about bitcoins - page 14. (Read 1098 times)

As I have said in most of the replies, the only book you need to read is "Mastering Bitcoin: Programming the Open Blockchain" by Andreas M. Antonopoulos. This book currently has 2 editions. I suggest you to buy the latest 2nd edition which covers topics on Segregated Witnesses, Lightning Network and many more newer technologies which is to be implemented.

This book is mostly very helpful for developers as it helps us in programming our own blockchain and it helps us understand how bitcoin and blockchain works in technical point of view. But for non-technical users, first 3-4 chapters gives us a clear insight on the working of the bitcoin. If you know crypto programming, this book is the one you will be looking for, but even though you don't know anything about programming this book's starting chapters are worth a read.

This book costs around 30$ in amazon. But buy this book only if you are basic programmer otherwise you could end up reading only the starting chapters of the book.

i think for now or in near future, there's still a few book that will explain about cryptocurrency or bitcoin, but maybe for forex trading those book are so many.
maybe the reason why people not making a book about bitcoin because its too risky, crypto/bitcoin technology is growing fast enough and people can be blamed because following the investment instruction that written in the book (maybe)

I am really thankful that you shared information about books related to bitcoins. I do keep reading all the information and news about bitcoins online but books can be a good company during travel and places where there is bad internet connection. There is a different type of feeling associated with reading from text books and I really miss that very much. I will go through the reviews of the books you listed here ad may be buy some to read in free time. Is there also some magazine with updated news about cryptocurrency ?

If you really insist on buying on internet, here's a list for you.

If I have to be honest I do not know any book about BTC but I think you can find all the useful information you need on the web. I have read many good articles and explanations about everything related to all crypto currencies.  

Here are a few suggestions that I have and the ones that I've read:

For a Bitcoin beginner:

1) The Internet of Money by  Andreas M. Antonopoulos - A good book for beginners who find it hard to cover up and understand the technical parts of Bitcoin mentioned in the book - Mastering Bitcoin by Andreas himself. I suggest you read this book first and it should really get you to understand the basics of Bitcoin and its purpose.

2) Digital Gold: Bitcoin and the Inside Story of the Misfits and Millionaires Trying to Reinvent Money by  Nathaniel Popper - It provides a historical viewpoint of events and enterprenuers setting up their start ups and the overall story of Bitcoin and how it evolved. It has a good bunch of stories about prominent startups their success and failiures towards the end. Good read if you like Bitcoin documentaries.

For a technical explanation:

1) Mastering Bitcoin by Andreas M. Antonopoulos - Tells you things from Private keys, public keys, explains you how to use the Bitcoin core client about the protocol and future enhancements like the lightning network. This is just a brief, it covers in-depth a lot of topics and this is open source. https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook

2) Bitcoin and cryptocurrency technologies by Prinston University - http://bitcoinbook.cs.princeton.edu/ (This is going to be my next read right after I complete reading Mastering Bitcoin)

What are you hoping to achieve from reading this book? Answering that can allow people to offer better suggestions. I have not read them but have heard that Andreas M. Antonopoulos' books are well worth a read but they may be too advanced or not advanced enough depending on what you want to learn.

I want to buy a book about bitcoins ,I know here is allot information on this forum and also on social  media but I want  to buy one on the Internet please any suggestions.
