A complete guide
Enjoyed how the book starts describing money and how we’ve exchanged value throughout history (areas not discussed enough when talking about cryptocurrency) Learnt some fun facts about the history of money.
Really great explanation on the basics of cryptography sets the scene well to go into the details or bitcoin and blockchains.
As someone relatively familiar with the field I found it useful to clarify and reinforce some key concepts. Also suitable for a complete ‘beginner’

Not basic enough
I listened to the whole book, which was very well narrated, but understood very little of the technical parts. I am certainly better informed but I could have done with an even more basic guide!

Very enlightening and entertaining
The narrator is v engaging indeed in this broad description of such a rapidly evolving market. Helpfully made practical by real life stats and examples and the use of analogies to bring technical concepts to life. Well worth reading. The supplement pdf pretty essential to look at too.
