Hello. Would you recommend me some good books which will help me in crypto world? Which books helped you the most? Thank you.

All your needs can be found online e.g articles, sites, videos etc. It's up to you what you preferred. If you are really eager to find the information you want, it's just easy to search on it. Just give it a time and be serious. You don't need to understand the full fundaments of crypto as it will just lead to much more questions. Just read the basics and soon as you progress, you will learned automatically those things that you didn't understand at first.

Books or any sources of infomation is your reference/s but the actual thing that can helped you is about how will you apply your learned things. Goodluck.

I have a few for you to consider:

  • The best narrative of Bitcoin is the book Digtial Gold by Nathaniel Popper (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23546676-digital-gold)
  • Any books by Andreas, which range from beginner to technical in their target audience; You can find them at https://antonopoulos.com/books/ (https://antonopoulos.com/books/)

Additionally, here's a YouTube channel worth checking out:
  • Ben at the BTC Sessions (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChzLnWVsl3puKQwc5PoO6Zg) is fantastic, videos range from helping beginners, providing opinions on performance prospects, and interviewing key people in the industry

The Intelligent Investor. This book is for stock markets, but it is the most amazing book for investing overall. It helped me understand my own investment style, has a lot of real life examples, analyses history data and gives a lot of tips.

The Intelligent Investor

Wow, great book but very, very heady for a beginner investor.

It's written by Ben Graham (in 1949), he's a famous investor and economist. Here is a free PDF copy of the book (http://www.fxf1.com/english-books/The%20Intelligent%20Investor%20-%20BENJAMIN%20GRAHAM.pdf)

Godspeed to anyone who wants to dive into this level of investment knowledge!



anyone can share good crypto books for beginners.

Except for you, apparently.

"Mastering Bitcoin, Andreas Antonopoulos." I recommend that his book does not teach the development or earnings of a digital currency, it only helps to understand the principles of the work of the block-system using the example of the bitcoin payment system and other crypto-currencies.
The first two chapters of Mastering Bitcoin: Unlocking Digital Cryptocurrencies are devoted to a description of the key concepts of the digital currency and the basics of cryptography and are geared more towards inexperienced users, investors and business leaders.
