blockchain basics

Although this book provides an excellent high-level overview, I was expecting more technical details regarding how blocks are decrypted using the sha256 algorithm. Otherwise this is a good introductory book to the topic.

highly recommended

exactly what i wanted

Get on board or get left far behind in the dust storm of out-dated systems! A must for would-be entrepreneurs and those looking to invest in this revolution. it is a short and intelligently explained book. I've been interested in cryptocurrencies for awhile now so I'm not completely new to the subject and didn't learn as much as a complete newbie would. I'd recommend to anyone that wants foundational knowledge on how the blockchain system works.
