Topic: Looking for a book (Read 259 times)

 
To study about cryptoccurrency is not bad rather I will enable you to the Cranium's of cryptoccurrency in general. But many steps are in your shoulder to accomplish your target or dreams.
Before you study cryptoccurrency network or system you have to devote out time to make a proper research and proper investigations concerning the branches of crptocurrencies you want to adventure into.

Go to bitcoin discussion board present your matters, genius in cryptoccurrency will respond positively

I came across a huge collection of 170 ebooks with all the topics in Forex, Blockchain, Cryptocurrency etc. in a singlelink:

So true, though I have found misinformation in books but the kind that I would consider along the lines of "typos" more books the better. The upside to books too is I don't need EMP proof bags got to put those hard wallet in them that's perhaps the biggest threat to btc/internet life style we've grown accustom to. a thank you for your suggestions Alucard.

I've never posted here just used it to keep up to date on a select few alt coins.
I could have been an early adopter, like I said by reaffirming your initial suspicion I'm a dummy I didn't think you could make money on paypal I didn't see how bitcoin was different if it was a competitor...That's partly why I put "friend" in quotes, he brought it up one time and that was it - I should have looked into it.
Yes that's TA I did well with day trading back in 2018 with MACD/RSI/3 moving averages are incredibly useful, I suggest you change the 20 day ema to 21.
There are some indicators I would like to buy but I haven't used them so I can't recommend them and they're expensive (2,500+). Also watch the bitcoin longs and shorts on bitfinex. Just don't fall in love with an alt coin always turn the crap into gold. That was my mistake, a rather costly one at that.


Thats why markets work how they do the dumb money pours in looking to earn a quick buck and smart people wait to dump it on those people just following trends. I was apprehensive touching BTC after it hit 2k I wish I had bought in then 2017.  I missed a once in a life time opportunity twice. I don't think there's a 3rd times a charm waiting for me (it's too expensive/I'm broke/didn't have cash when it hit 3k). But who knows, Tether could be the next Mt Gox. They have their hands pretty deep fisted up the ass of the investigation so that is a very big IF.
 

Perfect, try before I buy! Thank you.


Thank you thank you!


Definitely going to start with Mastering BTC seems to be most prevalent on these lists, thank you again.
I think I re to everyone so far, if I missed saying so, thank you to whom I may have missed.

Reading books is really good, it makes us learn new things. There are some people who are really comfortable learning things through reading books than surfing the internet because there is still fake information that we can read on the internet, unlike the information that we can acquire from reading books.

You might have some trouble if you don't know a programming language. I recommend learning python and reading this book in parallel. You're going to get lost and lose motivation if you don't have any way to apply what you know. If you know python and can get python-bitcoinlib or pycoin working, you're going to have a much better time following the examples and developing a working understanding of the technology.

I generally think it's worth understanding a simple scripting language like python if you're in a technical field. It's a lot more applicable then you may be lead to believe from a few classes. You don't need to become a programming expert by any means, but you're going to want to be at least familiar with a few concepts and protocols.

Here's a quick list of stuff you may want to take a look at:

• Stack (data structure)
• HTTP
• JSON
• RPC
• Software Libraries
• Bits vs. Bytes
• Decimal/Hexidecimal
• Character Encoding
• Big Vs. Little Endian

These are all things that come up in the book at some point or another and if you don't understand them you're going to get stuck. I'm not trying to scare you off or anything, but this is a challenging book (even for software developers). I think you can get through it without a programming background, but it might not be worth it. Doing that would be like studying ordinary differential equations without knowing calculus or linear algebra.

I already made a huge list of books that are related to the Crypto industry maybe you can find here what you looking for. Although this list was made years ago, you can still find some good stuff here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoins-related-books-updated-5144671

And also there are some books that are not on the list, maybe I add them again If I have some extra time.

I knew it. But what I'm not expecting is that you're an early adopter ! I'm just wondering why you didn't used your main account and create a new one instead on making this thread? Well, I guess it's none of my business.

Anyway I know this would be out of the topic but since you already mentioned TA (means technical analysis, right?), may I know what is the best technical indicator for you? If you don't mind to share. I'm planning to become a trader soon and I want to hear insights from experienced people .

Ps: dude better to edit the consecutive posts you made, merge it into one.

Some courses are there Available courses on Bitcoin and Blockchain Technology from colleges and Universities

• Mastering Bitcoin 2nd Edition - Programming the Open Blockchain. There are some versions of translations to download at Translations of Mastering Bitcoin
• You can find some more books at Andreas M. Antonopoulos 's books

I will start with that one and learn about python after. I would respond to everyone but the justifiable 360 second wait time is killing me.

I've been around here for a few years. My main interest was learning TA. I am a dummy I had a "friend" who told me about BTC in 2011 he told me it was "like paypal" and I understand it was meant originally to be competition to PP but for that reason it had not caught my interest. I use to go to school for coding in 08/09 but I found it very boring...BTC has renewed my interest but I am too old to go to school now no doubt too old to be involved in any successful project but would still love to learn more about it seeing as it has potential to change/save the world. So it's just for me, I don't dare dream of wealth that isn't on the horizon for me. Thank you very much all the descriptions of the books I looked at (some of those books listed even here) didn't sound like they were anything other than a history lesson on the tech. I appreciate the help.

We're not sure whether he is new in this forum for real or not. My intuition says that he is a dummy but well maybe I'm just overthinking so I'll give the benefit of the doubt. Besides, he come with no harm so nevermind .

Anyway, going back to the topic, OP if you are having a hard time downloading those books then you can try to visit Crypto Detail. You can find a cool summary of stuffs there. I hope this might help.

If you want to be able to understand code, you need to learn about coding, not about Bitcoin. I’d suggest starting with some Python tutorials and letting your curiosity lead you to where you want to go.

There are only few I guess but mostly newbie do like to jump in searching for how they coule earn. We could not blame them also because most of them were being told that the forum could be an opportunity to earn especially in bounty hunting of ICO project that pays token as a reward. Sad to say it isn't really paying though there are some good project that really pay tokens and was successful until today. It is just it so hard to distinguish a good project or not. However, I still manage to earn few cents ay projects that pay btc. lucky for not all were being paid on heir hard work.

The really good thing about the forum is the discussion of the new current events and news in regards to cryptocurrency. Because of the love of learning of it I decide to stay in the forum and few cents of earning is just a bonus. The important is that how this technology will going to evolve and I wish that I will be able to witness the technology evovle of which will it be successful or not.

Other things regarding other countries activities may still interest me on certain problems and issues that arises and how they resolve it.

Anyway, hope that newbie will be able to seek understanding how the forum works and the basic of cryptocurrency which is a really broad topic. Imagine the books that was shared above if I will going to read that all the  it will take a month or more before all will going to sink in intoy brain. LOL

I can personally vouch for Mastering Bitcoin. I was genuinely shocked the first time I read through it. Andreas goes into great depth and gives lots of additional learning resources for you to look into, for example, he lists several bitcoin libraries that you can try out (in multiple programming languages). The diagrams are great, the examples are great, the guy even uploaded it to GitHub so you can access it for free. Take a look through it there first and buy it if want to support his work (I got my physical copy after I read ~100 pages).

Here's the link: https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook

The book of Anthony Lewis.

The Basics of Bitcoins and Blockchains and other books are also on this link and list.

On the link that gives above of my post a highly recommend these books as a newbie and worth it to read.

• The Book Of Satoshi (wrote by Phil Champagne)
• Mastering Bitcoin (wrote by Andreas M. Antonopoulos)
• Cryptocurrency (wrote by Abraham K. White)
• Bitcoin From Beginner to Expert (wrote by Christian Newman)

Enjoy reading and I hope you will learn Bitcoin and the blockchain technology behind on it and how it works. Don't forget to share with others your of what you have learned, because like you, might be your next mentor.

I'm glad to see newbie asking stuff like this.

I hope all the newbies that are joining this forum has a mentality like yours most of the newbies I've encountered just want to be part of bounty campaign or promoting their projects here in Bitcointalk and thank you for posting your question I stumble a link where to download the link to enhance my knowledge about Cryptocurrency and blockchain.
