What makes this book special?
* Gives you the important conceptual ideas. It's all too easy to get bogged down with technical details; the high-level concepts are what's truly important.
* Easy to read. The book is beginner-friendly and doesn't require any prior knowledge.
* Focused on utility. The focus is on concrete use-cases, instead of the more seductive speculative approach.
* It's bigger than Bitcoin. There are many more cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin. The focus is on the general cryptocurrency concept and it's potential, instead of on a single implementation.
* Visits a wide variety of topics. This isn't only about cryptocurrencies. It's also about money, censorship, our financial system, and the dark secrets that Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden revealed.
* The order doesn't matter. Chapters are self-contained, so you can jump around and read the sections you're interested in.
