Sixth Grader Writes a 57-Page Book About BitcoinAn 11-year old named Andrew Courey from Massachusetts just published a book on bitcoin so the younger generation can grasp this emerging technology that's been sweeping the globe. The sixth-grader considers himself an expert on bitcoin, and his 57-page book describes cryptocurrencies in a way his peers can understand.
A 57-Page Book About Mastering Bitcoin Written By a Sixth Grader
Andrew Courey is a middle school student from Massachusetts, and he hopes to earn $20Mn by the age of fourteen. Courey made an agreement with his parents who said if he earned $20Mn by then, he could drop out of school much like the bitcoin millionaire Erik Finman's deal with his parents. So after countless hours of research and Youtube videos covering the subject of bitcoin Courey decided to write a book on the topic. The book called "Early Bird Gets The Bitcoin: The Ultimate Guide To Everything About Bitcoin," is available on Amazon in both e-book form or as a paper copy.
The introduction states:
Today we will be learning about an online currency created by Satoshi Nakamoto, and by the end, you will become a master of bitcoin.
Courey's dad is a tech investor and prompted Andrew to put his studies to good use by publishing a book about bitcoin in a more simplified manner.
"Anyone can learn about cryptocurrencies if they're willing to spend 70 to 80 hours researching every source until they find a couple sources that make sense," Andrew explains in a m/2018/02/25/11-year-old-andrew-courey-wrote-a-book-on-bitcoin.html]recent interview with CNBC. "The whole book, in the simplest terms, is very easy to read and simple to understand." Read more at https://news.bitcoin.com/sixth-grader-writes-a-57-page-book-about-bitcoin/. This is very cool and all, but I really don't think many people who actually know about cryptocurrency will ever buy this book. It seems way too simple, and is probably geared more at the general public who don't know anything about blockchain and bitcoin. Here's a quote from the article that made my opinion:
"Courey explains that a blockchain is similar to a public Google document that’s 'shared with everyone and that can only be edited by buying or selling bitcoin.'"
More power to him for being 11 years old and writing a book -- that's an amazing accomplishment. However, for most people on these forums, I think they're better off just reading through any boards here or asking questions they may have here as well. They'll get the same, if not better, information to work with.
This is kid is just seriously an expert in his own right. Imagine to have published at such a young age of the very recent hype in the online world.
I salute my hats to this kid.
On another note, his achievement is great and all not argue on that, but this guide he wrote may be applicable to those that have very limited idea on the blockchain technology. In addition, people can just join this community "bitcointalk.org" and ask questions and get answers with equal learning in the book, if not better.
But then again, it is a great achievement and will usher in more supporters for the cryptocurrency community thru education
