I have not read any books about bitcoin or crypto, but it did not prevent me from trading and understanding how it works
actually i am not into reading books as well, but i guess it has something in there that adds up to knowledge of people who takes time to read them.
i can read articles but i am more into video presentation or actual explanation much better.
I guess it depends upon the preference of the person and about bitcoin being valuable? value depends on how people value it actually same to fiat.
but knowing the advantage of using bitcoin makes the difference.
