What are you hoping to achieve from reading this book? Answering that can allow people to offer better suggestions. I have not read them but have heard that Andreas M. Antonopoulos' books are well worth a read but they may be too advanced or not advanced enough depending on what you want to learn.

Here are a few suggestions that I have and the ones that I've read: For a Bitcoin beginner: 1) The Internet of Money by Andreas M. Antonopoulos - A good book for beginners who find it hard to cover up and understand the technical parts of Bitcoin mentioned in the book - Mastering Bitcoin by Andreas himself. I suggest you read this book first and it should really get you to understand the basics of Bitcoin and its purpose. 2) Digital Gold: Bitcoin and the Inside Story of the Misfits and Millionaires Trying to Reinvent Money by Nathaniel Popper - It provides a historical viewpoint of events and enterprenuers setting up their start ups and the overall story of Bitcoin and how it evolved. It has a good bunch of stories about prominent startups their success and failiures towards the end. Good read if you like Bitcoin documentaries. For a technical explanation: 1) Mastering Bitcoin by Andreas M. Antonopoulos - Tells you things from Private keys, public keys, explains you how to use the Bitcoin core client about the protocol and future enhancements like the lightning network. This is just a brief, it covers in-depth a lot of topics and this is open source. https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook2) Bitcoin and cryptocurrency technologies by Prinston University - http://bitcoinbook.cs.princeton.edu/ (This is going to be my next read right after I complete reading Mastering Bitcoin)

If I have to be honest I do not know any book about BTC but I think you can find all the useful information you need on the web. I have read many good articles and explanations about everything related to all crypto currencies. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I am really thankful that you shared information about books related to bitcoins. I do keep reading all the information and news about bitcoins online but books can be a good company during travel and places where there is bad internet connection. There is a different type of feeling associated with reading from text books and I really miss that very much. I will go through the reviews of the books you listed here ad may be buy some to read in free time. Is there also some magazine with updated news about cryptocurrency ?

i think for now or in near future, there's still a few book that will explain about cryptocurrency or bitcoin, but maybe for forex trading those book are so many. maybe the reason why people not making a book about bitcoin because its too risky, crypto/bitcoin technology is growing fast enough and people can be blamed because following the investment instruction that written in the book (maybe)

As I have said in most of the replies, the only book you need to read is "Mastering Bitcoin: Programming the Open Blockchain" by Andreas M. Antonopoulos. This book currently has 2 editions. I suggest you to buy the latest 2nd edition which covers topics on Segregated Witnesses, Lightning Network and many more newer technologies which is to be implemented.
This book is mostly very helpful for developers as it helps us in programming our own blockchain and it helps us understand how bitcoin and blockchain works in technical point of view. But for non-technical users, first 3-4 chapters gives us a clear insight on the working of the bitcoin. If you know crypto programming, this book is the one you will be looking for, but even though you don't know anything about programming this book's starting chapters are worth a read.
This book costs around 30$ in amazon. But buy this book only if you are basic programmer otherwise you could end up reading only the starting chapters of the book.

Book,Book,Book!!!Don't be so bookish!Interaction helps a person to gain better knowledge. You can only know about the characteristic of bitcoin,the structure of it,when it was invented,who invented and why??That's it..But you can't come to know about the market place,the business. Business is not based on book.Book contains a limited number of knowledge. But by reading the posts in this forum,you can know more about bitcoin.

I am a big fan of books. I will not lie to you, books are incredibly fun and exciting. Bringing me to the old style, escaping from reality and enjoying a good story. But Bitcoin book? I think it's pretty useless, Bitcoin and everything around it's built into the internet. Everything is based on electricity, technology, digital and not physical. It's not a bad thing at all. But books about Bitcoin? They not necessarily useless but buying them is not worth it. All the information you need is on the internet, plenty of articles and resourceful information by the smartest people in the industry. I mean read Bitcoin whitepaper which was written by Satoshi Nakamoto. Everything you want from Bitcoin, Blockchain, Economic to Investing, Trading and Financial Lifestyle. It's all on the internet, just a few keywords in google and you find it! There's honestly so much information for free gathered everywhere. You don't really need to pay for anything and honestly, I think a book (100 pages) about a specific topic is pretty a waste of time. Nothing that few articles can't cover easily. If you want for some solid information, PM me I'll send you.

There are really lots of bitcoin, blockchain and crypto related books out there. Here are some of the 'must read' books in my opinion. I don't know where they are available for purchase, but I'm sure you'll find them easily. - "Digital Gold" by Nathaniel Popper
- "Cryptoassets: The Innovative Investor's Guide to Bitcoin and Beyond" by Chris Burniske and Jack Tatar
- "Mastering Bitcoin" by Andreas M. Antonopoulos
- "Blockchain Revolution" by Don Tapscott and Alex Tapscott
- "The Age of Cryptocurrency" by Paul Vigna and Michael J. Casey
- "The Internet of Money" by Andreas Antonopoulos
- "Bitcoin From Beginner to Expert" by Christian Newman
- "Cryptocurrency" by Abraham K. White

This is an interesting idea that we really need in our life now to have full of knowledge about what we are entering at so for me this really makes a good idea at all, for those who really want some sort of book that you are comfortable reading it then it is fine, but for those who don't have time youtube is always available.

any book about bitcoin is a subjective view of the author. There are 2 option: bitcoin lover and a hater. More objective books will appear in 10 years, when more people will own the information, you will be able to analyze multiple views of various sources, etc. Like any science or theory, it takes time.
read forum, here more information, than in any book, if such a it's on this moment

It would be nice to have more books about bitcoin and crypto-currencies. Then it would be possible to introduce several subjects into the training. That the younger generation was trained in new technologies. For me, there is enough information on the forum and on the Internet

You can read books to learn about cryptocurrency but to be updated with latest bitcoin and cryptocurrency trends, you would have to use internet and social media. I would recommend Andreas M. Antonopoulos books to learn about crypto.

You can reach the information given by the book on the internet, as this technology is very new, there are not many experts as in other fields. I don't think you can find interesting information on books for now.
