I was hesitant about buying another Bitcoin book as I often find them a little too complex and jargon-heavy, given my limited understanding of the subject. That said, I was super surprised when I read B is for Bitcoin as it broke down this seemingly complex technology into an easy-to-understand format touching on all the key aspects of Bitcoin, from its history and functionality to how to interact with it. This is an excellent holistic look under the hood of Bitcoin, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their knowledge. Read Less

This book does an excellent job of breaking down what is otherwise a very complicated topic, into simple terminology and examples. I've read a lot of books on Bitcoin, including Mastering Bitcoin, to try to gain an in-depth knowledge of the topic. I think the authors have done a great job of outlining everything one would need to know about Bitcoin without having to sift through multiple texts to achieve the same. Well done. Read Less
