400 pages, seriously? How long have you made this e-book? You must have had tons of free time when you made this. Anyway, this should be helpful.

[butka]

You have put great effort into writing your book. It can be of great help to people new to this area, that's for sure. I have some problems to understand the flow, though. Somehow, for me, investing and technical analysis right after introducing bitcoin is out of place. I would rather see core concepts, like decentralization, mining, POW, POS, instead of TA. Investing and trading are probably better placed closer to the end of the book.

This is not a big deal, though, just my two satoshis.

[Prompyboo]

I always respect people who spend their time and do something like this for people. i'm sure that this book will help to many people to become more professional. keep it up

I am actively in Crypto since 2013 and it took around a year writing the book because i did it after my regular studies and work. Hope it helps 

You have put great effort into writing your book. It can be of great help to people new to this area, that's for sure. I have some problems to understand the flow, though.

Good points. Will add this to my to-do list! Thanks for the suggestion. If you have something in mind that might be helpful for others, I would really love to hear it

I always respect people who spend their time and do something like this for people. i'm sure that this book will help to many people to become more professional. keep it up

I really hope the project/book will help others along their journey. As long as it may get a few new people interested or not getting scammed, it was totally worth it.

I am looking for books about anything that is related to blockhain technology, unfortunately it is very difficult to find in my country especially those who speak Indonesian do you have a reference

The book is free to download for everyone, but I actually do not know whether there is any good book available in indonesian. But as you can easily access it by using google docs, google translator or deepl might work quite well. Worth a try at least.

Thank you for your kind words. I will keep it updated and always thankful for any contribution of topic suggestions!

[coined1]

As we are nearing the end of 2018, I would love to further complete the list of important milestones in crypto.

What are your important milestones of 2018 which you think they should be added to the list?

(of course anything before 2018 is highly appreciated as well)

[Gab20]

The book is comprehensive and elaborate. Everyone with keen interest in crypto will find it very useful. Despite the time i have spend in the crypto space and despite the experience i have been able to gather, i still find it useful, not even for myself alone, but also for every other person who would appreciate it.

[smyslov]

Good one you deserve a lot of merit for coming up with an e-book like this, it's very comprehensive but how I wish you wrote it in pdf so it's easy to navigate, anyway since you are a good writer maybe you can write more about another side of cryptocurrency which is relevant today.

I am glad you find it helpful. I tried to collect as many information as possible and my plan is to expand the book even further over time. I think we are very lucky to be part of this and I really appreciate the experience

You are a great fellow that helps people through a book. I will definitely read it and I think it will be useful for me. There are many pages in books, I think you put a lot of effort and time into it.

Thanks! Feel free to share it. I personally think the book and projects would benefit the most, with more and more people involved

[crypt0.r3negades]

It is a good way for some starters to know more about the coins and cryptocurrencies. And very effective way for some newbies that are still struggling hard to find a good way to get some small profits.

[cryptomaster420]

WOW, dude, I wish I had merit to give you, 400 whole pages.
I feel confident in most of my knowledge, but I was always looking for good Ichimoku clouds information.
Amazing job!
