It's great how Bitcoin has recently become more widely known and is being used more widely. That benefits the entire community. But it is a complex subject, and I was astonished that I couldn’t find any simple articles online to refer friends and family to explain them what it was all about.
I thought that if it doesn’t yet exist, I should just try writing something like that myself, so I wrote this guide to the
BTCitcoin universe, trying to be as complete as possible (with the historical background and the current ecosystem that has built up around it, with companies making ASICs for mining, etc…)
The book is
free to download on Sunday, January 12. Since this part of the forum is for beginners, I thought it would be a good opportunity for some here to read up on the subject and maybe give me some feedback about what you think.
If you're interested, head over to Amazon and
download it:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HSUN5MA.
If you don't have a Kindle, you can use
read.amazon.com (the Cloud Reader) to read it in a browser on any device you choose.
The questions from friends of mine and of people on Reddit were part of the motivation I had for writing. Unfortunately I didn't have a look at this forum earlier, or I could have asked you to have a look at single chapters beforehand.

I hope some of you will enjoy reading the book!
Have a great Sunday everybody!
