Bounty: What books to read?

in #books6 years ago

I am looking to read a few more books this year about our cryptocurrency and blockchain space.

I would love to hear some suggestions.

A few years ago there were really no books, the first one I really liked was the one from andreas. It got me a real good understanding of how bitcoin works at its core.

Books don’t have to be this technical, but I am looking for high quality knowlege to feed my brain. Any good ideas?

Sort:  

It's not even a full fledged book but only 29 pages. But I urge you to check out HASHGRAPH CONSENSUS: DETAILED EXAMPLES by Leemon Baird who I consider to be the greatest mind in crypto (even bigger than Ohad Asor and certainly ahead of @dan) Hashgraph is the only thing that I know of that can make EOS look old. The project is already valued at 6 Billion USD. Thanks to SEC only accredited investors could get in.

You can read the PDF here: http://leemon.com/papers/2016b2.pdf

Leemon Baird already has 8 Patents and here is him giving a quick crash course which is still the best DLT crash course I've seen

It's not directly blockchain related but Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future by Peter Thiel is The definitive book on startups. Period. It's practically a bible for for startups as Atlas Shrugged is a bible for capitalists. At least check out some quotes: https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/25332940-zero-to-one-notes-on-start-ups-or-how-to-build-the-future

Hope these two will help :-)

thanks!!

There is a quite new book written in German language:

The Author is Christoph Bergmann, who also provides the bitcoin blog since several years:

Of course you can pay it in crypto :-)

Rich dad poor dad sollte man gelesen haben 😉

Jupp, aber habe ich schon vor 20 jahren :)

A book that you should read, which is not necessarily "about cryptocurrencies" but about decentralization is called "The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations" by Ori Brafman, Rod A. Beckstrom.

It will open your eyes about cryptocurrencies!

Hey there, great question!
There are a couple of outstanding books that helped me greatly to find my way through the cryptic and mysterious swamps of Bitcoin and ergo blockchain technology. I think,

Blockchain Revolution by Don and Alex Tapscott is the best book for blockchain space

Great book to get a thorough understanding of how blockchain is impacting a lot of different industries. This book is more business-oriented and showcases examples of how blockchain can change the business world. Good book, but for my taste sometimes somewhat too dry. But that’s just me.

I picked this one up myself:

I have on my stack to read but I was interested in it given the reference to other aspects of blockchain in addition to some technical ones. It seemed like a good all around book to have.

Not about blockchain directly, but an excellent book that changes how you think about things:
"The Mystery of Capital: Why Capitalism Triumphs in the West and Fails Everywhere Else"
by Hernando de Soto

Essentially de Soto talks about the poor having the ability to capitalise their assets - which is easy in the west. The opportunities for blockchain, as a shared store of truth, is obvious.

I think this one is best “Mastering Bitcoin: Unlocking digital cryptocurrencies”, by Andreas Antonopoulos
