Good Introduction to Cryptocurrency

I enjoyed listening to the background of money, Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrency. Also the lessons on blockchains and the vast inner workings of this technology. There is a whole lot to grasp and this book was a good head start for those that may be interested in Bitcoin or others. I believe this is not going away or is it just a fad. As of this review, this book is slightly dated, but the concepts are there. I insist that anyone due their own due diligence and again, this is a great start. I would recommend the listen or read.

simple explanation of a complex topic

Bitcoin and Crypto currency is a very complicated topic for an average person to understand. This book makes it carefully easy. Each aspect is explained in simple terms yet it doesn't dilute the topic. The narration is clear and easy on the ears. The storyline is kept interesting. I recommend it to any one interested in the field of Cryptocurrency.
