If you want a clear understanding of how Bitcoin works in about three hours, this guide is excellent. The author is an accomplished individual from other ventures who seems to have a true passion for Bitcoin. You don’t have to be a computer programmer to understand the concepts and why there’s value in Bitcoin. There’s a lot of books that will talk about trading and indoctrinate you with why BTC is so great, but this one focuses on the nuts and bolts of the tech in a way that’s pretty easy to understand.

A clear, concise, definitive guide on how the technology behind Bitcoin actually works

I had probably expected to learn more in and out about Bitcoin. The book gives the very starting notion about Bitcoin and in a very accessible language which is much appreciated. I had to listen a few times on the lottery part explanation but could not get my head around it to buy it as the 100% best solution for the problem. Still an informative book especially if you want to get Lesson 1 on Bitcoin and what the heck is that. Five stars for the simple language used and the great reading by Guy Swann.

Yan does a great job and keeping something very technical as down to earth as possible. Guy Swan is a trooper for the patience it took to read all those long numbers, which are necessary to demonstrate the security of the Bitcoin network. Definitely a must read book. The overall knowledge gained will outweigh any subjects you may still struggle with. Take it one step at a time.

Great book, excellent narrator!

This is a great audiobook to learn more about what Bitcoin is, why it’s important, and what you should do about it. The reader (Guy Swann) is a passionate pro. The author is equally passionate and conveys some fairly complex ideas in an accessible package. Super easy to understand. I’d recommend this book for anyone who wants to dive deeper down the Bitcoin rabbit hole.

An excellent primer on Bitcoin

Inventing Bitcoin takes a seemingly complex subject like Bitcoin and breaks it down and makes it understandable to the average person. As someone who is a relatively new to bitcoin I highly recommend, I feel more comfortable buying now that I understand why it was created and how it works. Great listen!

Inventing Bitcoin is outstanding!
