I picked this up because I am curious about crypto and, honestly, this book had the best cover out of all the books I was looking at. Listening to this was straightforward, easy to follow, and focused on building confidence without assuming I knew anything going in.

The narration was calm and easy to follow—clear enough for technical parts, and relaxed enough that it didn’t feel like a lecture.

One thing I really appreciated was the section on common scams and beginner traps; I wish I picked this up a few years ago because my friends and I were scammed and we lost a few thousand dollars each but.... the scam was very elaborate and too good to be true. This book describes practical red flags and helped me set up a new wallet with a safety-first mindset. That alone made the listen 110% worth the purchase.

If you’re just getting into crypto or are just looking for a no-pressure, no-jargon guide that helps you build good habits from the start, this is the one to start with.

The new digital gold is such a fitting title for this release because it describes so accurately the bounty-producing effects things like crypto and digital currency can have on one’s overall portfolio and nest egg, etc. I particularly enjoyed the sections pertaining to smart, compounding-style investment habits that, when implemented over time and relentlessly, can add up to some pretty impressive gains. The suggestion for setting up auto buys for the week, month, or even daily (known usually as dollar cost averaging) is a really smart way to go, so long as one is using principle that they’re not afraid to lose. Using DCA on some of the more established coins (might want to be wary of newer, lesser known coins) can be a recipe for wealth building that is more or less unprecedented in terms of beating the standard fiat/s&p 500 traditional market returns. Thank you Maxwell Westbrook for creating an easy-to-follow digital currency title that hits the heart of avoiding pitfalls (loved the recommendations for staying as protected as possible in the world of exchanges and digital wallets) and maximizing growth for newbies and experienced investors alike.

This book is exactly what I needed as someone totally new to cryptocurrency. I’ve always been curious about crypto, but most guides felt overwhelming or too technical. This audiobook breaks everything down in a super simple, clear way—no confusing jargon, no pressure to become a day trader. It covers the basics like how crypto works, how to buy and store it safely, and most importantly, how to avoid common scams. I really appreciated the focus on smart habits and risk management, especially with how unpredictable the crypto market can be. The tone is casual and encouraging, making it easy to follow along even if you’re not tech-savvy. It doesn’t promise to make you rich overnight—it’s just a solid, beginner-friendly intro to the world of digital assets. If you’re curious but hesitant, this is the perfect place to start. I walked away feeling informed, confident, and ready to take the next step.
