Review of Bitcoin Answered
[Following is a volunteer review of "Bitcoin Answered" by Jon Law.]
Bitcoin: Answered A Beginner’s Guide to Everything Bitcoin by Jon Law and Alan John provides the reader with exactly what the title promises.
Having played around with Bitcoin myself since 2017, I enjoyed reading this book and learning more about this fast-growing cryptocurrency. I had some knowledge about it before I started reading the book, but it was definitely not required. The authors masterfully introduce the reader to various lingo used when trading with cryptocurrencies as well as the basic starting blocks to build upon when you decide to invest in Bitcoin. The chapter headers are a list of questions that people may have about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general and each chapter contains a simplified, but detailed answer to the chapter header.
My favorite aspect of this book was the vocabulary used. Even though cryptocurrency traders have their own lingo, this book assisted me to gain a better understanding of what it means. The book also covers subjects like where Bitcoin started, how it can be used, whether it will survive in the long run, what the goal of Bitcoin is, conspiracy theories about Bitcoin, and ultimately whether it is a good investment or not. There is a small dictionary at the back of the book that explains how to use certain words when dealing with cryptocurrencies. It also contains links to other books, exchanges, podcasts, news services, charting services, and YouTube channels.
I did not enjoy the amount of repetition, but that is down to my personal preference, as I already had some prior knowledge of the subject matter. This book is, however targeted at people who have limited or no prior knowledge, so the repetition would essentially drive home the point in those particular instances.
Remarkably, I only came across a single error throughout the entire book, which leads me to believe that this book has undergone a round of professional editing. There is also no profanity, explicit content, or triggers that might offend sensitive readers. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a thrilling read. It is slow-paced and repetitive, to allow the reader to learn and better understand the content.
It gives me great pleasure to rate this book a perfect score of 4 out of 4 stars. I would happily recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, and how to start trading online. The text is detailed, well researched, easy to understand, and comprehensive.

Although repetition isn't fun to me either, sometimes it helps sink things in!
This book, revolving around the world of cryptocurrencies, seems pretty informative.
Great review.
