A step closer to understanding Bitcoin

This audio book does a fantastic job explaining the more technical topics in Bitcoin. The author does a great job of making this content interesting and easy to follow along. I recommend this book for anyone that is interested in Bitcoin, although it would really be most useful for beginners and novice users.

A clear, concise, definitive guide on how the technology behind Bitcoin actually works

If you want a clear understanding of how Bitcoin works in about three hours, this guide is excellent. The author is an accomplished individual from other ventures who seems to have a true passion for Bitcoin. You don’t have to be a computer programmer to understand the concepts and why there’s value in Bitcoin. There’s a lot of books that will talk about trading and indoctrinate you with why BTC is so great, but this one focuses on the nuts and bolts of the tech in a way that’s pretty easy to understand.
