Posted: 17 Apr 2022, 06:30
[Following is a volunteer review of "Bitcoin Answered" by Jon Law.]
Almost everybody has heard of the terms crypto-currency and Bitcoin. But only a few people understand what they really mean. Bitcoin: Answered by Jon Law and Alan John is a one-stop solution for all questions regarding crypto-currency and its workings.
The authors start explaining crypto-currency, with Bitcoin being the main example, right from scratch. A lot of in-depth topics and technicalities are described in an easy-to-understand language. Everything is divided into topics and sub-topics such that the reader does not face any problem connecting all the information given in the book. There are also graphs and small diagrams that keep the book interesting.
It is quite clear from the first few chapters that the authors understand what exactly are the problems that a normal person faces with regards to crypto-currencies. The book is written in a way that even a total beginner to Bitcoin will be able to understand most of it without any help.
An interesting aspect of this book is that unlike other resources, it not only answers the question of what is Bitcoin, but also elucidates on topics like the history of crypto-currency, what factors make Bitcoin profitable, the possible future of crypto-currencies, etc. It is topics like these that really set this book apart from others.
Bitcoin: Answered is an amazing book which covers almost all the questions that a person can have regarding crypto-currencies. In fact, it goes on to give even more relevant information related to the topic. There was absolutely nothing that I felt was amiss in this book. It contains everything that was promised in the introduction and more. The language was simple and compelling. The layout of the book made the reading experience enjoyable. It was a pleasure to read and had a lot to teach.
I would rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. It is well-written with a proper index and easy-to-follow text. The editing was good with hardly any grammatical mistakes or typos. At the end of the book, the authors have provided a list of resources that the reader can consult to gain a more extensive knowledge about the topics that have been discussed. These resources include books, podcasts and videos among other services.
I would recommend this book to anybody who would like to understand more about how crypto-currencies, specially Bitcoin, work. Even those with no prior knowledge about crypto-currency can comprehend the contents of this book with ease.
