is a good book on learning about cryptocurrency investing.
first you have to decide if you want to learn about bitcoin or if you want to learn about investing! these two topics are very different from each other. as for learning about bitcoin itself, as in the technology, the Mastering Bitcoin book is excellent to learn the basics and have a better understanding of how the technology works at an intermediate level.
but for "investing in cryptocurrencies" subject i'm afraid there is no good books out there because investing in this market is not something that you can write a book about, specially if you are talking about investing in manipulated, pump and dump altcoins.
So I've started reading Mastering Bitcoin, but there must be some fundamental knowledge about investing , which investing in cryptocurrencies must be a particular case, or that's what I think. On that note O, it seems that CryptoAssets provides those fundamentals. Anybody think otherwise?
I often tell my friends about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Many of them are interested in the idea of cryptocurrency, but they are afraid to invest now.
I did, but I wanted a more in depth explanation, with examples, if possible.
I can suggest Mastering Bitcoin (2nd edition) as a great resource. I believe its available on github for free, but I would buy it to support the author.
You are right ! I did find it on github but I don't think it's the second edition . I believe it's the "Open Edition" which is more like the first edition. In any case, I will check it out online, and if It's nicely written I'll probably buy it as I find the github format cumbersome and hard to follow (besides that , we need to support the author as well). Also, what do you think of the other recommended books in this list ? Was thinking about getting CryptoAssets as well since I have some experience trading.

I just finished reading Digital Gold, and it was great , but I want a better understanding of the technicals. I heard about Mastering Bitcoin , do you guys think it's worth the time? It has five stars but it's quite long and I don't want to waste my time. I've also heard CryptoAssets is a good book on learning about cryptocurrency investing. Does anyone have any opinion about it? Is there a better crypto investing book out there? Aslo, what do you guys think of the book list at http://tradingbtx.com/post/2019-01-07-best-crypto-books/ ? It seems concise and it seems to cover the whole space? Do you guys have a better book list?

I know there's a lot of free stuff on the internet about bitcoin, blockchain and cryptos in general, but I've had a hard time putting all the pieces together. It's like this massively complicated puzzle. Therefore, I've set out to find a couple of books that will help me quickly understand how it all works , from a programming and investing perspective as well. I've compiled the list at : http://tradingbtx.com/post/2019-01-07-best-crypto-books/ . Enjoy !
