blockchain basics

Although this book provides an excellent high-level overview, I was expecting more technical details regarding how blocks are decrypted using the sha256 algorithm. Otherwise this is a good introductory book to the topic.

great work

I recommend this book for someone who is absolutely clueless about the topic. You can probably find all the information in this book by looking it up on Wikipedia. But the author has done a great job of compiling it in a concise and easily comprehensible format. Definitely worth the money spent.

best book

I can’t say it was the best book because I still don’t understand proof of work and the mathematical theory behind it, but this is a good primer on Blockchain.
