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.
