Bitcoin Forum

I am very happy to join the Bitcointalk Community. There are lots of people share their experinces per day here. But I want to know about Any book related to "Bitcoin Technology" for Beginner's?

There are a number of books related to Bitcoin and which can be useful for beginners, Look up;
• Mastering Bitcoin, and
• Bitcoin for dummies
They should both be available on Amazon.

There's a thread by yazher which contains links to Bitcoin related books - Blockchain Books, Bitcoin Movies And Documentaries (Updated) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5142007.msg51004107#msg51004107), it was last updated in 2019, but the content is still relevant.

Welcome to this bitcointalk community. I have a little bit surprised that you want to read books to know more about bitcoin because after getting touching the internet I feel bore reading books. lol. btw here is some name ok bitcoin books.



You may visit the reference link to know more about and buy the books. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/092916/top-6-books-learn-about-bitcoin.asp

Definitely The Internet of Money by Andreas Antonopoulos: https://theinternetofmoney.info/buy/

If you prefer consuming the same content in video form: https://theinternetofmoney.info/the-talks/

If you prefer reading a compilation of articles: https://www.coindesk.com/learn

Check out this list- https://bitcoin-only.com/#books
I haven’t read any single book from the list, I have read only 1 book written in my local language. You can check the list and pick some books.
Both sounds good but bad luck, we don't have amazon in our local. Can you suggest any other place where I can buy? I would like to gift someone.

Antonopoulos is amazing.
Certainly, any beginner can just explore his videos (any of them), and read any of his books.

I read and watch his videos for years, and he still surprises me when I watch.

In an ecosystem where 99% of anything "crypto" are scams (hello defi), when we hear someone who knows what he is talking about it is just amazing.
We are lucky to have this guy in our ecosystem.

Well, you could start reading information here in the forum. Try to check the pinned message here in this section and the meta section so that you can have an idea of how the forum works. There are many things to consider here that include how to be a good member of this forum and earn acknowledgement through merits as a concrete evidence that you are doing well. The merits is one indicator thay you have been helpful and to know more about it then read the pinned threads. Know the importance of the forum and the members.

These are some good books below too, using mastering bitcoin will really help you. But for beginners, I will still advise you to read online about:
Bitcoin mining
Bitcoin wallets
Exchanges and why they are vulnerable by discern
ICO- initial coin offering
IEO- intital exchange offering
DeFi
Read about crypto scam and how to avoid

The problem with books on the subject is that they can only cover some basics ,the fields continues to expand and change rapidly enough to make any book on the topic largely outdated before it can be published and distributed.

The bitcoin talk forum is the only best place to learn about cryptocoins in general but even that is not entirely inclusive by any means, it's just the overall single best source.

I'd recommend you start with this book:

https://www.amazon.com/Inventing-Bitcoin-Technology-Decentralized-Explained-ebook/dp/B07MWXRWNB


To my way of thinking, this is probably the best book for beginners to start their journey into the world of bitcoin. It answers the question "What is bitcoin?". Once you finish it, you can dive deeper into a rabbit hole and search for answers to other questions such as "Why bitcoin?" ("The Internet of Money" book) and "How bitcoin works?" ( "Mastering Bitcoin" book) written by Andreas Antonopoulos.

INVALID BBCODE: close of unopened tag in table (2)

Not sure about the others but Mastering Bitcoin is available to access for free on https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook. Other parties are also allowed to distribute the PDF of the book.

There is very good guide from user fillippone called 5 Resources to teach Average Joe about Bitcoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5156874.msg51545936#msg51545936). Everything you have to know for the begining is there.Generally, this forum is great source of information, be active and you will learn a lot.

Yes, the English version is free on the Github version (https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook) and PDF on the translate version (Mastering Bitcoin Open Edition: https://bitcoinbook.info/translations-of-mastering-bitcoin/) under the same license (CC-BY-SA).

Meanwhile, the 2nd edition of "Mastering Bitcoin" is available under a CC-BY-NC-ND license, not a CC-BY-SA license.
And I came across the following warning:

Source:
https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook/tree/second_edition_print3_rc1

I don't know whether the license has changed or not. ...

There are also information and readings here in this forum that can help you have an idea how bitcoin works.

Books have a plentier of information because it is detailed compared to just reading a lot opinions based on their experiences on engaging with bitcoin.

We do really have different preferences on what kind of platforms are we going to use as a tool to feed our thoughts and mind. Bitcoin is a complex thing and when you engage to it, make sure that you learn from your mistakes, you learn how it works and being utilized in the market so that you are prepared and disciplined in making it as an asset to your investments.

Choose your platform to learn about bitcoin.

I officially welcome you to the community and wishing you good experience here, you can find lost of interesting articles here and topics from other existing and legendary members that would be of great help to you in these forum. There are lots of materials to read out bitcoin/ Cryptocurrency broadened your understanding about bitcoin. You can also use the internet to educate yourself more. Okay

Hi! @Husna QA  :D, I personally collected those cryptocurrency books during my free time and decided to upload it in my Google Drive and eventually share it to the community. To answer your question, I am not quite sure if these eBooks are licensed for free that is why i decided to create a thread if posting some eBooks are allowed.

[1] Posting downloadable PDF/ eBook links (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5238513.msg54172322#msg54172322)

Fortunately, based from the answers, I think it is allowed to post regardless if it is legally licensed or not. However, there is a reply in my thread that warns me to remove the links available to anyone due to the fact that I am liable for unauthorized distributions if the situation got worse. It's just that I am still lucky sine bitcointalk and GDrive are both protected with DMCA's "Safe Harbor".


Do you think I should remove it? This one still got me guilty  ???

In my opinion, as in the example of the book "Mastering Bitcoin," the link that should be shared is the official version: GitHub version (https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook/blob/develop/book.asciidoc), Open edition (https://bitcoinbook.info/translations-of-mastering-bitcoin/), or Published edition (https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook/tree/second_edition_print3_rc1#published).
I think this is to honor Andreas M. Antonopoulos (the author) and also the publisher.

Guys,

if you want a real paper book for free, check this out.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5274233

It's really free, with no hidden secrets.

Let's keep the "book you can touch" culture alive.

In my opinion, a more effective way by which you can increase your awareness of cryptocurrencies is to read this forum. There is a huge amount of the most diverse information about everything related to cryptocurrencies.

This question is always confusing for me in the sense of its request, because it has intrinsic what to do "look for it" find it and share it, that is, the "debate" should not be "hey! Today is a good day to learn about bitcoin, what book do I read ... "

We are in an era of so much information and if we take it to our niche "the forum" this question is recurrent in so many different ways that a book should be made "guide to request information about bitcoin" I have a name for it "Blue Forum"  :)

HugoSmith do not misinterpret me but the debate should be about what I read, what you do not understand ... but we are on time I hope you return and comment.

Actually this is like going into the church and asking what saints do miracles, in my humble opinion, when you get a good book it is not for everyone, well it is available for everyone but not for understanding in its usefulness to all.

On the side effect of your OP, thank you for the recommendations.

@Husna QA, Sorry for the late reply, I have now restricted the links indicated from my original post of cryptocurrency PDF/e-books. I just realized that it will never be a good idea to distribute them regardless of how good the intention is for the community.

@Charles-Tim, could you please check the links on my thread if it is now restrictred? Just to make sure. Help would be appreciated  :).

There are lots of online articles on youtube and are explain every bit of what is need to know, at the same time they have experienced it firsthand, if may ask, wherein bitcoin are you interested in? you may not need to buy a book, everything that you need to know can be found here, besides we are very happy to help anyone who is just starting, we can also learn something from you, you can ask here about mining, trading, regarding altcoins, we have pioneers that are willing to help for sure, feel free to ask good luck and welcome.

It is sure and guaranteed that there are tons of online articles, videos, and even a forum that is talks related to Bitcoin. And surely, tons of people are willing to give help in regards to his inquiries. However, for some sort of reason, there are still some people who are into books. They are more fond of reading in the traditional way without any LCD's in front of their eyes. It is more likely reading through books a little bit more relaxing unlike can monitor gives. Anyway, yeah this will still depend on us though whether to we like in a more technological way or in the traditional way, after all, it has one destination and that is to learn.

Thanks a lot guy's, I think Mastering bitcoin & bitcoin for dummies will be of grt help to us biginners, I'll go check it out

Good faith does not mean neglecting the author's rights. We can still use the free version of Mastering Bitcoin Open Edition or the GitHub version. https://bitcoinbook.info/ (https://bitcoinbook.info/); In case you don't buy the original book or even donate to the author.

The easiest to understand books I've read are:

• Bitcoin Money - A Tale of Bitville Discovering Good Money (https://thebitcoinrabbi.com/bitcoin-money-book/) - Book made specifically for kids. Really simple and you need 1 hour to read the whole book
• Early Bird Gets The Bitcoin: The Ultimate Guide To Everything About Bitcoin (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38321253-early-bird-gets-the-bitcoin) - this is a book written by a kid named Andrew K. Courney. I've gone through it and it offers really simple explanations.

The easiest to understand website to date is bitcoinmakesense.com (https://bitcoinmakesense.com/). Check it out. It doesn't have any technical language and tries to explain Bitcoin in simple and understandable terms.

Anyway, Bitcoin is a very complex topic, so give yourself enough time to learn about it. It will pay of ;)

You may start reading this book, Cryptoassets by Chris Burniske and Jack Tatar, that will help you understand more about cryptocurrency and I also want to refer you to read this one Bitcoin From Beginner to Expert by Christian Newman, both books are available in amazon. I am amazed reading your thread because you prefer reading books to reading some information on the internet. You may also improve your knowledge with the help of this forum and by watching videos on youtube.

I haven't really read any book myself on Bitcoin and cryptos but I know, the forum has some of the best guides summarize in an article that you can fine. Take your time and go through as much as you can afford to daily and your knowledge on the later is sure to improve.

The advantage of learning from books is that they are more structured. Some even take content from the posts spread on this forum. The disadvantage is that it takes time to update information in books; As we all know, there will be changes or even new things related to bitcoin or cryptocurrency technology at any time.

There are two (2) bitcoin books that I highly recommend, namely:

• Blockchain Revolution, authored by Don Tapscott and Alex Tapscott; and
• Mastering Bitcoin, authored by Andreas M. Antonopoulos.

The reason on why I suggest these books is that they both explained detailedly the technical terms and processes employed in the blockchain technology. Both books also explained in the simplest way possible for a person to understand without getting confused. Let me just add, allot time to read these books and commit yourself to allocate time to understand and comprehend it.

First, I would like to thank you for the collection offered for download. I don’t think these books will lose their relevance over time, as has been said here, they will always remain very useful textbooks.
I love Antonopoulos and Kiyosaki.
As for the lack of a correct link, I can say that it is not there only for this book "Profiting from Crypto"

I think you can find more about bitcoin in google and youtube. No need any books. Happy Learning.

great suggestions - and I easily got both from amazon. I like - mastering bitcoin written by Andreas M Antonopoulos. I suggest every newbie has to read this book before starting your work in crypto.
