Great read. Easy to understand.

I have been into crypto since 2018but really only became passionate about it in 2021. This book gave me a much better perspective as someone that knew what Ethereum was and how the blockchain worked. Great info. Recommend.

An amazing primer for those interested in Ethereum

This book is the perfect introduction to the Ethereum blockchain, and Decentralized Apps. I started listening to this book with a surface level understanding of Ethereum, but now I feel like I have a great understanding of how Smart Contracts work, and the future of DApps.
