Great crypto resource for the beginner

As a crypto enthusiast, I wanted to review this book to get a different perspective on cryptocurrencies. The author guides the listener through several coin comparisons. The author also mentions the FIRE concept (Financially Independent Retire Early) concept. Investing tens of thousands of dollars in crypto always sounded crazy since my foray into crypto involved mining Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies. Spending USD to buy crypto investments has always made me uneasy. But, after listening to this book and processing the information presented here, I feel better about it.
The author discusses several cryptos in this audiobook. While I don't believe in some of the coins I don't believe in, there is a compelling story about each coin's development. Each currency presented is thoroughly researched, and since the author had actual cash tied up with each coin, it was interesting to listen to each perspective of why the author invested in each currency.

Well done CR Russell

CR Russell's book is a well-researched journey into the world of cryptocurrencies, great for listeners who have a little bit of background knowledge about what cryptocurrency actually is. The language used throughout the audiobook is slightly technical, but not so much so that a beginner would want to abandon it. If you are interested in exploring specific areas, like investing in a particular coin or understanding its role in the market you can learn more about it. The market changes frequently, and with the emergence of new coins, NFTs, and blockchain investments, learning as much as one can about all the options is advisable.

Great stuff

Love the crypto experts. I’ve dabbled a little but never really got a good grasp on how to do it successfully. This helped a lot!

Really great analysis for beginners
