Title: Books like The Bitcoin Standard
Post by: cellard on August 17, 2018, 03:53:47 PM
Anyone knows more books like The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous? it was a pretty decent effort in explaining the bitcoin fundamentals, why is the best form of money we ever seen, the concept of hard money and the history of money itself.

Most books focus too much on the technical aspect but not the fundamental details and why it matters.

I would like to find more literature on this subject.

I hope that there is an improved version of The Bitcoin Standard somewhere in the future. It's good but I think it can be improved addressing some points that weren't touched, let's hope for a second edition. Meanwhile I would like some more books.

These sound good, I will check later. I forgot to add a classic myself, not really about bitcoin, but you can see that they were talking about something like bitcoin before it was invented, this one:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/82256.The_Sovereign_Individual

It talks about the concepts of digital gold, digital cash, internet money... all these terms, back in 1997, so it had an insight of 20+ years before bitcoin, a nice read.

Im more interested in fundamentals from historical and cultural pov with some technicals on it if needed, not really interested in investment oriented guides and that sounds just like that.

I happen to hear about such book from a friend of mine who had just bought it and I will ask hime if it has many good information about btc which could help me understand more about this crypto currency. Considering that he make a positive remark regarding the book, then I will have to buy one and read it. I will have to search for the book in advance and spare money for it since it looks like interesting for me.

You have touched upon a very interesting topic. I think I should think about my new book. I think that this can help people who do not understand bitcoin and its capabilities.

Maybe you need to read the book "Cryptoassets: The Innovative Investors' Guide to Bitcoin and Beyond" written by Chris Burniske and Jack Tatar

Chris Burniske, Partner in the venture capital company Palceholder who focuses on digital currency, and Jack Tatar, the author of the financial book published a book that contains guidelines on how to invest in bitcoin assets and other digital assets.

In their book they discuss how to assess digital currencies and tips for overcoming bubbles.

“Blockchain Revolution” by Don Tapscott and Alex Tapscott and “The Internet Money” by Andreas Antonopoulos are two books based on crypto currency market. These books will guide any new comer or an experience veteran for a correct investment plan in crypto world.

There are several books written by the authors about the world of crypto currency and bitcoin. Among them “Digital Gold” by Nathaniel Popper and "Cryptoassets: The Innovative Investor's Guide to Bitcoin and Beyond" by Chris Burniske and Jack Tatar are very good. These books are proper guide for a new comer for investing in a good way.

I think you should read the book “Cryptocurrency Investing Bible”. In this book you will find out about basics of cryptocurrency, bitcoin, Blockchain technology, and guide for advanced investing, trading and ICO bounties and also details about altcoin. This book is a complete guide for all crypto currency users.

in my opinion this is a good topic for those of us who might not know about bitcoin and to add insight about bitcoin in the future. I will continue to listen and also try maybe a few books to read it.
Thank you for the information.

"The Internet of Money” by Andreas Antonopoulos is a really great book which revolves around the inception and further development of Bitcoin and how it is having a long lasting effect on our lives just like internet. This should definitely help you to grasp the basic idea of Bitcoin while having a fun experience during reading it.

Such literature is very useful. But it should be written by the creators of the crypto currency.

Imagine if the creator of the bitcoin will write a book! This will be a bestseller

I will be glad to receive links to interesting books

Bitcoin for the Befuddled by Conrad Barski and Chris Wilmer is a great read. The writers did a great job by relating Bitcoin concepts into things people easily understand as a way to bridge the gap. The book also contains comic strips as a visual aid to help understand Bitcoin. It doesn’t go so far as some other books when it comes to technical details but it present a very instructive reading experience.

Mastering Bitcoin, The Age of Cryptocurrency and The Bitcoin Bible are three books that will match your taste I guess, as these three also focuses on the fundamental aspects of Bitcoin and traditional cryptocurrencies rather than going into the technical details of these.

There are other books you can try too for example  "The Age of Cryptocurrency: How Bitcoin and Digital Money Are Challenging the Global Economic Order". This is a great book too and will enrich your knowledge on the market further.

Yes, literatures on the Bitcoin will help improve the popularity of the Bitcoin. I also thinks in the future we will begin to see advertisement in both the print and news media. the hard truth is that, the Bitcoin has come to saty and is going nowhere. People will slowly come to terms with this but the faster they do, the better for them. I hope to get a copy of this book "The Bitcoin Standard" so I can share in its benefits
