The Internet of Money: A collection of talks by Andreas M. Antonopoulos: 1

Each chapter was very insightful and answered a lot of my questions and doubts that I have around bitcoin or crytocurrencies in general.

This book gives an introduction to Bitcoin and the potential it holds for next revolution (comparable to internet). Series of talks given by Andreas are quite engaging and easy to understand even for non-techie. I would recommend this book for all who are new to Bitcoin or wondering where to start.

Good starting point for learning about blockchain and it’s use cases

An absolutely brilliant collection of talks relating to decentralized blockchains and bitcoin from the person who has done more research than anyone in my opinion. Thoroughly loved reading the book and also listening to the talks. Thank you Andreas, you really have opened up several people eyes (myself included) about this amazing and disruptive technology

I urge you to go through this book and all talks in the book to get the philosophical and conceptual understanding of decentralized systems, what it means and why we need it ?

Get out of all the noise in crypto space and do the right thing, educate yourself. The best introductory book for beginners in the Bitcoin space. Worth investing time in educating yourself.

Good book to understand crypto currency concept. A very good book for a beginner to crypto currency world. It doesn't contain any technical details of crypto currency.

Everyone who want to know about bitcoin, should read this. This will help build understanding on payments and bitcon. A 101 for everything bitcon

Ich habe bereits die technischen Bücher von Andreas (Mastering Bitcoin, Mastering Ethereum, Mastering the Lightning Network) gelesen und finde die Serie "The Internet of Money" eine wunderbare Ergänzung dazu, insbesondere wenn man weniger Interesse an den technischen Details hat. Andreas hat einfach wirklich Ahnung von dem Thema und kann es wunderbar erklären. Absolute Empfehlung von mir für alle, die etwas mehr über Bitcoin lernen möchten.

Easy to read and really informative

great book

This was a great read and relevant. I'll get to that in a moment. Let me get to naive. The repetitions in the book version were a bit too many. I did not need to be told constantly that this or that limits freedom. Now I know that these are speeches he gave that were set up like a book and in his presentations, these comments are not repetitions. The editors could have done better. I am far from being a TEC person. He spared me that in practically all of the book. And where he did get into it he watered it down so that I could grasp the basic idea. This is why I gave it a 5 star. For the TEC type and the engineers out there, this is tame stuff. You know it. I learned about the basics as well as the potential of blockchain. I learned about mining as well as new products. He does excite you to go further to learn. Was worth the cost of the book. Looking forward to reading after this The Basics of Bitcoins and Blockchains: An Introduction to Cryptocurrencies and the Technology that Powers Them by Antony Lewis.

I'm new to bitcoin and this book gave me a great introduction on what it is and its disruptive (in a good way) possibilities to change our world in plain, easy English. I learned a few, interesting things that I didn't know before. Biggest example: Bitcoin is many things, its not just currency as most think, but a technology, language, network all in one. It's part of the reason why bitcoin confuses people is because this is something completely new. Another big one: if bitcoin is a technology, then currency is just the first app. So there's more possibilities with this tech? Cool! Also, the author has interesting talks about past innovation / inversion stories and how they relate to bitcoin. The patterns and cycles repeat as the stories and history show, so I believe that bitcoin will be the next big technical achievement that humanity will unlock and this will likely change our lives for better or worse. Not everything about bitcoin or cryptocurrencies are covered or explained in this volume (maybe in the next volume?). Example: I wanted the blockchain explained as the author references the blockchain in his talks. So treat this book as a starting point in your bitcoin studies and look at other resources / books to go further.
