Best Blockchain Audiobook Out there!

After heavily following the crypto space over the years, I found this to still be extremely informative for people with any level of experience. It provides a great overview and then goes into the nitty-gritty, which is very useful for anyone interested in cryptocurrencies and the evolution of the space. Also, the narrator does a fantastic job and this was an entertaining listen.

4.5 stars

I think this was a great beginners book. It has a lot of information and it is explained very well. Covers a broad range of blockchain including the capabilities, future uses and its faults. It also covers its history, but doesn't go as deep as I would have liked into how it fully works. If your looking for a quick read to cover the basics and a little more, this would be a great read. The narration was great and has been converted to audio version very well. Instead of reading the full hash code, it reads the first few digits and provides the rest in a sheet you can download. Unfortunately it wasn't provided by Audible, but the author provides it on a site. I received this book as a gift for my honest review.

Awesome introduction to blockchain

If you don't know anything about blockchain this book describes it in a very simple way. Moreover, you will grasp the concept how Bitcoin works and what are the other uses of blockchain. The last chapter deals with the technical part; I recommend to see other visual materials to grasp the concept. Lastly, if your level of English is good, you can increase the speed.

Exactly what I needed

I must premise this by saying, I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

This book is exactly what I wanted to be. Concise, but also a complete overview of the history of "digital money", Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, smart contracts and the future of money.

I came to this book with a basic understanding, and feel like it filled in all the gaps in my knowledge about cryptocurrencies. I can see this book being a great primer for anyone interested in getting a complete overview of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and blockchain technologies.
