Bitcoin Answered by Jon Law and his contributing partner Alan John is a succinct manual that provides readers with crucial information about Bitcoin, cryptocurrency as a whole and its functionalities. The book takes on a Q&A format, with each chapter's title posing a question, to be answered within the chapter.

Questions such as "What is Bitcoin", "How does [it] work" and "What is [its] history" are thoroughly examined in just a few short pages.

Readers can learn about the acquisition, and mining processes of Bitcoin as well as the pros and cons of making such an investment.

The book includes a list of additional resources such as a " Crypto Essential Dictionary", books, podcasts and YouTube Channels that readers can use to gain further insight and do research into the topic.

What I like most about Bitcoin Answered is the simplicity of the language, especially in the chapter,"How would you explain Bitcoin to a 5-year-old?" Readers of any age and educational background can feel empowered to become acutely aware of the volatility of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies in the market and consequently make informed financial decisions about investing.

The limited use of technical terms,which are extensively explained, as well as the high number of visual aids:
•drawings
•graphs
•tables
allow for high readability and ease of understanding that makes this immensely possible. Even Law's usage of veritable examples, particularly, that of the Bitcoin public ledger from blockchain.com, lends to the effortless comprehension of the information being provided.

I am highly appreciative of his critical objectivity towards the topic and I'm yet to stumble upon any part of the book that causes me any form of displeasure.

I can safely say the book is superbly polished, as I have found no errors and no use of profane language. As a result, I would, without hesitation give this book a rating of 4 out of 4 stars and would recommend it to anyone interested in investing in Bitcoin or any other Cryptocurrency.

It is my view that this book will be ideal for curious minds that have long attempted to quench their thirst for knowledge about Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency and its functionalities in hopes of investing but were impeded by overwhelming technical jargon and lack of investment knowledge required to take such steps.

The book is a good read, and with approximately 200 pages, it is not at all arduous.
