Story
The story of Ethereum begins with Vitalik Buterin, a supremely gifted 19-year-old autodidact who saw the promise of blockchain when the technology was in its earliest stages. He convinced a crack group of coders to join him in his quest to make a super-charged, global computer. The Infinite Machine introduces Vitalik’s ingenious idea and unfolds Ethereum’s chaotic beginnings. It then explores the brilliant innovation and reckless greed the platform has unleashed and the consequences that resulted as the frenzy surrounding it grew.

Story
The definitive audiobook on how the technology behind bitcoin and cryptocurrency is changing the world - majorly expanded with new material on cryptoassets, icos, smart contracts, digital identity and more. Blockchain is the ingeniously simple technology behind Bitcoin. But it is much more than that. It is a public ledger to which everyone has access but which no single person controls. It enables companies and individuals to collaborate with an unprecedented degree of trust and transparency. It is cryptographically secure but fundamentally open. And soon it will be everywhere.

The Bitcoin Standard analyzes the historical context to the rise of Bitcoin, the economic properties that have allowed it to grow quickly, and its likely economic, political, and social implications.

What he had programmed would become the world’s most famous alternative currency – Bitcoin.

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’

Reads like a college textbook
Although the information in this book was relevant to bitcoin, I lost a lot of interest in the text because it was overly complex. It read like an old professor in lecture reading off something you couldn't care for.
I believe this is perhaps better read as a textbook vs an audiobook. The reader would benefit from highlighting and making notes in this kind of book.
The performance could have used a little more enthusiasm, but i suppose that comes with the text.

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.
