This IS the age

The Age of Cryptocurrency is a well written book. It is good reading and very informative! I found it to be a comprehensive overview relating "BITCOIN" to our digital treatment of the Dollar as in paying bills with your computer and/or using PayPal. The overview of block-chain was thorough and comprehensive and used language that one can understand.
No matter what you think, this book argues points that suggest why BITCOIN and BLOCK-CHAIN will be in our future..

For someone with little background knowledge, like myself, I found this book to be very easy reading and interesting.You can get the general technical ideas and of course, the economic concepts that are the main issues regarding cryptocurrencies.
Worth the time.

Fact or fantasy?

Having heard about BitCoins, I found this book which helps me understand the excitement. If you are puzzled about what is happening begin with this informative book. I am not convinced this is more than another "gold rush" or simply wishful thinking. But, fifty years ago, I woul not have believed electronic banking! I can pay my bills while riding in the passenger seat of our car. Twenty years ago I would not have believed that.
If we cannot trust our governments to regulate our trading of valuables how can we trust anonymous individuals in an invisible chain?
If we cannot predict the value of a unit for more than an hour, no a minute, how can we trust that unit?

Worth the read, though a bit rambling

This book was well-written and provided a broad yet detailed picture of the history, present and possible future of the cryptocurrency and its underlying blockchain. It's a bit long-winded in places, and somewhat rambling, jumping around to different points in time, but on the whole it's well worth the read.
Very good introduction of Blockchain and Bitcoin

Very well written and researched book. The author found a good balance between monetary concepts and the technical aspects of the new currency. I started by knowing very little about Blockchain and can claim that I am better informed.
There is a good progression in the book building on concepts explained previously, For a technical book, this can be quite challenging. The author has a humorous side as well when he describes the colorful characters of this new frontier.
