One of the best detailed walkthrough of the bitcoin protocol。After reading this one， you walk away with knowing almost everything about the bitcoin blockchain in great detail。The clarity and simplicity shown in this book is a testament to the author's understanding of bitcoin。 One of the best detailed walkthrough of the bitcoin protocol。After reading this one， you walk away with knowing almost everything about the bitcoin blockchain in great detail。The clarity and simplicity shown in this book is a testament to the author's understanding of bitcoin。 。。。more

Needless to say this is a piece of brilliant technology that is explained in simple words。 Easy for beginners to enter the rabbit hole！

A great book for understanding the intricacies of Bitcoin and the technology on the whole。 The author has made sure that even if you don't understand the low level technical stuff you can still understand the concept on a high level through analogies and examples。 The language used is simple and straightforward。 A great book for understanding the intricacies of Bitcoin and the technology on the whole。 The author has made sure that even if you don't understand the low level technical stuff you can still understand the concept on a high level through analogies and examples。 The language used is simple and straightforward。 。。。more

One fine piece of a technical book。 Have never read a technical book written so elegantly。 Would recommend this if you want to learn how BTC exactly work under the hood and what makes it special。

More detailed than needed in some sections that were destined to become quickly outdated。 Overall an excellent primer。

A must read if you are new to the space or veteran and never read it。

Good book for crypto programmers。I've recently started experimenting with blockchain programming in Python and I find myself coming back to this book for a deeper understanding on this topic。This book covers all core Bitcoin programming concepts - Base 58， encryption algorithms， signing transactions， block formats， multisig， segwit， BIPs， scripting capabilities you name it， this book explains it。 Good book for crypto programmers。I've recently started experimenting with blockchain programming in Python and I find myself coming back to this book for a deeper understanding on this topic。This book covers all core Bitcoin programming concepts - Base 58， encryption algorithms， signing transactions， block formats， multisig， segwit， BIPs， scripting capabilities you name it， this book explains it。 。。。more

Mastering Bitcoin is a great technical introduction to Bitcoin。 What distinguished the book from others is its strong focus on the technical aspects。 The author doesn't just explain how the blockchain works in abstracted terms， but very often highlights the points using detailed explanation and provides valuable code snippits。 There is probably no better entry book into the Bitcoin blockchain for programmers。While I really liked the book， I am not giving it 5 stars for two reasons。 First， it glo Mastering Bitcoin is a great technical introduction to Bitcoin。 What distinguished the book from others is its strong focus on the technical aspects。 The author doesn't just explain how the blockchain works in abstracted terms， but very often highlights the points using detailed explanation and provides valuable code snippits。 There is probably no better entry book into the Bitcoin blockchain for programmers。While I really liked the book， I am not giving it 5 stars for two reasons。 First， it glossed over much of the technical shortcomings of the technology。 There are good reasons why Bitcoin hasn't replaced our financial system even after more than a decade。 A much more thorough investigation of the blockchain trilemma from a technical standpoint would have been helpful。 Second， the book is from 2016 and is therefore not entirely up to date。 E。g。 segwit is only introduced as a concept to be potentially implemented in the appendix， but has by now been a stable of the Bitcoin blockchain for years。 。。。more

A comprehensive introduction to Bitcoin as a technology rather than as an investment。 This book is heavily oriented towards developers， so the author doesn’t hesitate fill pages with raw code。 As a result， don’t expect to understand everything on the first attempt， especially if （like me） you’re coming at this as a layperson。Even so， it contains a huge amount of valuable information on how Bitcoin works。 For me， the most useful takeaways were a clearer understanding of how UTXOs form the basis o A comprehensive introduction to Bitcoin as a technology rather than as an investment。 This book is heavily oriented towards developers， so the author doesn’t hesitate fill pages with raw code。 As a result， don’t expect to understand everything on the first attempt， especially if （like me） you’re coming at this as a layperson。Even so， it contains a huge amount of valuable information on how Bitcoin works。 For me， the most useful takeaways were a clearer understanding of how UTXOs form the basis of all transactions and how child keys can be generated ad infinitum from your private key。 But the more I learn about Bitcoin， the more I realise I’m only scratching the surface。 。。。more

Questo è il libro migliore per capire in profondità come funziona bitcoin， non ci sono confronti con i vari libriccini che promettono di spiegare tutto ma che poi si rivelano sempre molto superficiali。 Se volete capire il bitcoin leggete questo testo saltando la parte tecnica （poco utile per quasi tutti）， la potrete sempre affrontare in un secondo momento se ne sentirete la necessità。 Il mio voto: 4 stelle。

Well written。 If you're a Bitcoin user， you probably know most of this。 There are technical details related to wallets and Blocks， how they are chained together using Merkle tree were useful。 3。5/5， most of the book felt redundant， except the tech bits。 Well written。 If you're a Bitcoin user， you probably know most of this。 There are technical details related to wallets and Blocks， how they are chained together using Merkle tree were useful。 3。5/5， most of the book felt redundant， except the tech bits。 。。。more

This book would be perfect for those who want to get into the technicalities and programming back-end of Bitcoin。 Unfortunately， I am neither。 I will commend the book， however， for explaining the basics of Bitcoin and how it will revolutionize not just the currently centralized financial system， but spurring further innovations on other institutions as well。

This book would be a great introduction to the world of DeFi for all the newbies， since， no doubts - Bitcoin is the reflection of the whole Finance 3。0 Era！

Every investor will always tell you that there's no better time to invest in the financial market。 I've been into forex and binary trade for quite a while now， and I must say it really goes with loss without the right approach and strategy。 I have gotten to the point where I understand that strategy is a key element of a long term successful trading。 You can keep making wins at the beginning of a period and later， you start making losses toward the end of the trading period or even halfway。 This Every investor will always tell you that there's no better time to invest in the financial market。 I've been into forex and binary trade for quite a while now， and I must say it really goes with loss without the right approach and strategy。 I have gotten to the point where I understand that strategy is a key element of a long term successful trading。 You can keep making wins at the beginning of a period and later， you start making losses toward the end of the trading period or even halfway。 This results from little or no attention to the need for sustenance and consistency with the prevailing market structure。 I've earned about $38，150 so far this month trading with Mr。 Gavin ray strategies and working with his help trading for me。 You may never find it easy trading on your own。 If you are tired of losing so much money， I recommend you contact him via email- gavinray78@gmail。com or Whatsapp; +1 217-339-4023 he’s a genius trader。 。。。more

Great to understand the actual working procedure on Bitcoin。 The book is between a technical manual on the Bitcoin code and a non-technical explanation of Bitcoin。 Still a great read to understand the fundamentals even if you aren't a coder。 I read the 2013 edition， not sure if there have been revised editions since then because the 2013 edition is out-of-date in quite a few places， though the basics remain the same。 Great to understand the actual working procedure on Bitcoin。 The book is between a technical manual on the Bitcoin code and a non-technical explanation of Bitcoin。 Still a great read to understand the fundamentals even if you aren't a coder。 I read the 2013 edition， not sure if there have been revised editions since then because the 2013 edition is out-of-date in quite a few places， though the basics remain the same。 。。。more

It goes through bitcoin's internal details very gently， obviously doesn't include latest protocol updates but gives a solid perspective of bitcoin and blockchain technologies。 Highly recommended。 It goes through bitcoin's internal details very gently， obviously doesn't include latest protocol updates but gives a solid perspective of bitcoin and blockchain technologies。 Highly recommended。 。。。more

Pretty good coverage of the technical details so that you understand most of how Bitcoin works。 It's a technically complex book and you need to know the basics of cryptography， and quite a good dose of computer science。I read this to get a better understanding of how the bitcoin blockchain works and what you can do with it besides sending money。 Overall I think it's a good book to get started on the technical details of cryptocurrencies。 Pretty good coverage of the technical details so that you understand most of how Bitcoin works。 It's a technically complex book and you need to know the basics of cryptography， and quite a good dose of computer science。I read this to get a better understanding of how the bitcoin blockchain works and what you can do with it besides sending money。 Overall I think it's a good book to get started on the technical details of cryptocurrencies。 。。。more
