Publisher's summary

You've seen headlines about Bitcoin and Ethereum. But what's the point of all those other cryptocurrencies? The surprising answer is that while the bottom line may be to make money, most cryptos have been designed for specific purposes and/or people. Would you like to understand what makes each crypto tick, from their programming to their audience to the hopes and dreams of their founders?

In Meet the Cryptos, you'll discover:

  • The coin that aims to make the five-day bank transfer a memory of the past.
  • The technological breakthrough that is connecting crypto with insurance, sports, gambling, and even the weather.
  • The third-world country that envisions wireless and secure college and banking systems through a partnership with a prominent crypto.
  • Which cryptos are already making strides to reduce their environmental impact through alternatives to Bitcoin's Proof-of-Work.
  • The crypto that, if left unchecked, could cause a collapse shockingly similar to the 2008 housing market crash.
  • The "secret ring" of developers that founded an early exchange, whose members are still creating many projects today.

And much, much more!

By the end of this book, you'll be able to hold a conversation about the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap, even if you used to be a complete novice who thought Bitcoin was a pyramid scheme or a stock! If you want to discover all the benefits that each crypto can provide to the world (and to yourself if you invest, trade, mine, or stake the most promising coins), then listen to this audiobook immediately!

Great crypto resource for the beginner

As a crypto enthusiast, I wanted to review this book to get a different perspective on cryptocurrencies. The author guides the listener through several coin comparisons. The author also mentions the FIRE concept (Financially Independent Retire Early) concept. Investing tens of thousands of dollars in crypto always sounded crazy since my foray into crypto involved mining Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies. Spending USD to buy crypto investments has always made me uneasy. But, after listening to this book and processing the information presented here, I feel better about it.
The author discusses several cryptos in this audiobook. While I don't believe in some of the coins I don't believe in, there is a compelling story about each coin's development. Each currency presented is thoroughly researched, and since the author had actual cash tied up with each coin, it was interesting to listen to each perspective of why the author invested in each currency.
I've read and listened to many crypto books over the years, and this is one of the better ones. It's highly recommended for anyone who wants to better understand what crypto is and can change your life if used properly.

Insight into crypto world!

The book acquaints us with a coin planning to change banking by taking out five-day moves, displaying the potential for a quicker monetary future. It digs into the thrilling mechanical leap forwards interfacing digital forms of money with protection, sports, betting, and even meteorology, exhibiting how blockchain's span reaches out a long ways past money.

The book likewise reveals insight into cryptos focused on lessening ecological effect, offering options in contrast to Bitcoin's energy-serious Verification of-Work, a urgent move toward maintainability.

In addition, "Meet the Cryptos" reveals the fascinating history of an early exchange that was established by a secret group of developers. These developers' ongoing projects continue to shape the crypto landscape today, demonstrating the lasting impact of visionary pioneers in this dynamic field. I found this book very informative and highly recommended.

Well done CR Russell

CR Russell's book is a well-researched journey into the world of cryptocurrencies, great for listeners who have a little bit of background knowledge about what cryptocurrency actually is. The language used throughout the audiobook is slightly technical, but not so much so that a beginner would want to abandon it. If you are interested in exploring specific areas, like investing in a particular coin or understanding its role in the market you can learn more about it. The market changes frequently, and with the emergence of new coins, NFTs, and blockchain investments, learning as much as one can about all the options is advisable.

Great stuff

Love the crypto experts. I’ve dabbled a little but never really got a good grasp on how to do it successfully. This helped a lot!

Really great analysis for beginners

I thoroughly enjoyed the analysis of specific coins and how they work. The author went in depth for beginners. But you could also benefit if you wanted to learn a strategy to include in your current investments. It made sense to relate this era to the .com era. I recommend this book.
