The Little Bitcoin Book: Why Bitcoin Matters for Your Freedom, Finances, and Future

My most highlighted book ever. The book is so well written and succint. No fluff at all. Thank you for Writing this book.

Everyone has friends or family who have heard about Bitcoin, but how do you get them started? There are good books on Bitcoin economics (The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous) and technology (Programming Bitcoin by Jimmy Song). Yet, despite being excellent resources, these books may be a bit too deep for a total newcomer. The Little Bitcoin Book is the solution.Written over the course of just four days, by eight different industry experts working together, the book is a great introduction to Bitcoin. There are short chapters on money/economics, trading and volatility, and even human rights. Over half of the book is devoted to Q&A, covering most common questions and concerns around the new currency. Plenty of additional resources are linked for those willing to dig deeper and participate in the Bitcoin economy.If you want to introduce your family to Bitcoin this holiday season, this is the book to get.

I recommend this book to people who wish to understand the utility value of Bitcoin and its potential, future place in the global financial system. The book was about 100 pages long so it was a fairly quick and easy read. Michael Saylor also recommended this book. Although I have read more than a dozen books about cryptocurrencies; I still found this book interesting. Reading from a variety of information sources, helps to reduce bias and also offers repetition - the mother of all learning.

I have been hearing about BTC for many years, dismissed most of it early on as I've been busy earning/ working. Tried buying some BTC in 2017 (unsuccessfully), but finally got someone 2018. I read some articles on BTC now, (which mostly seem about headlines/ "creating buzz" around the topic.This is really the first & only thing I've read that actually seems to have a great background, and explain why/ what value this "BTC craze" is about & even justify future of it.Good to know a bit about what's behind the volatility, now just a matter to buy smart.... & It's a quick read!

This is a small book and to the point. The book layout is setup so you can flip to a section your interested in. It is definitely designed for someone who has only a vague idea of what Bitcoin is. The explanations are simple and clearly written. I could not think of a basic question about Bitcoin that they missed.I plan on giving some away for Christmas presents and to have a few more on hand to give to people who I think are truly interested in Bitcoin.

The language is simple and easy to understand. Has a lot of excellent information about bitcoin and fundamentals. As well as good examples of current monetary systems and policies. Highly recommended.

A good Bitcoin (Alt-coin, too) financial history primer. Consider reading this first, for a good grounding in the historical justifications and for the imminent necessity for developing a better financial system for the world ASAP! And, the precipitated future that can be expected if attempts to keep the status quo continue. Information and opinions expressed in the book filled many gaps that other writers tend to gloss over or omit entirely, e.g., how Germany and Russia dropping the gold standard and hyper-printing to fund WW I, led to bogus reparation payments that led to The Great Depression, and later WW II. And, how lengthy wars are protracted, funded by overactive printing presses lacking sound financial backing. This is an important 100 pages to read.

I have a YouTube channel where I create Bitcoin tutorials. I’ll be recommending this book moving forward.There’s a lot of great books out there, but this is concise enough to get anyone familiar with the fundamentals of why Bitcoin was created in the first place.The FAQ is a great place and I hope they will update it as time goes on.There might be some confusion of the capitalization of Bitcoin throughout the book since I’ve seen them interchanged between paragraphs. The definitions show the difference in the glossary.I’d recommend this to anyone interested in Bitcoin. I was able to read this in one sitting on my Kindle app on my iPhone.

I think 10 years from now, people will understand the importance of the information in this book.
