Recommended Bitcoin Books for Beginners
Bitcoin books for beginners make the complex easy and allow anyone without even without technical expertise to get an idea of bitcoin.
The Internet of Money Volume 1
Andreas Antonopolous
While many bitcoin books explain the how of bitcoin, The Internet of Money delves into the why of bitcoin. Acclaimed information-security expert and author of Mastering Bitcoin, Andreas M. Antonopoulos examines and contextualizes the significance of bitcoin through a series of essays spanning the exhilarating maturation of this technology.
Bitcoin, a technological breakthrough quietly introduced to the world in 2008, is transforming much more than finance. Bitcoin is disrupting antiquated industries to bring financial independence to billions worldwide. In this book, Andreas explains why bitcoin is a financial and technological evolution with potential far exceeding the label “digital currency.”
Andreas goes beyond exploring the technical functioning of the bitcoin network by illuminating bitcoin’s philosophical, social, and historical implications. As the internet has essentially transformed how people around the world interact and has permanently impacted our lives in ways we never could have imagined, bitcoin–the internet of money–is fundamentally changing our approach to solving social, political, and economic problems through decentralized technology.

The Little Bitcoin Book
You’ve probably heard about Bitcoin on the news or heard it being discussed by your friends or colleagues.
How come the price keeps changing? Is Bitcoin a good investment? How does it even have value? Why do people keep talking about it like it’s going to change the world?
The Little Bitcoin Book tells the story of what’s wrong with money today, and why Bitcoin was invented to provide an alternative to the current system. It describes in simple terms what Bitcoin is, how it works, why it’s valuable, and how it affects individual freedom and opportunities of people everywhere – from Nigeria to the Philippines to Venezuela to the United States.
This book also includes a Q & A section with some of the most frequently asked questions about Bitcoin. If you want to learn more about this new form of money which continues to gain interest and adoption around the world, then this book is for you.
Anthony Pompliano: “This 100 page book was written for pre-coiners by some of the most well-respected Bitcoiners in the world.”
Balaji Srinivasan: “The Little Bitcoin Book was written in a few days by N people, one chapter each, and then published on Amazon”

21 Lessons
21 Lessons is a bit of an unusual bitcoin book. But hey, Bitcoin is a bit of an unusual technology, so an unusual book about Bitcoin might be fitting. This book came to be because of one simple question: What have you learned from Bitcoin? I tried to answer this question in a single tweet. Then the tweet turned into a tweetstorm. The tweetstorm turned into an article. The article turned into three articles. Three articles turned into 21 Lessons. And 21 Lessons turned a book.

Bitcoin Novels
A special shoutout to Bitcoin University who has published a wonderful review about the Bitcoin book “The Mandibles”
Lionel Shriver’s dystopian novel “The Mandibles,” may be the best Bitcoin book ever, even though it mentions Bitcoin only once. Mandibles is set in the near future (2029-2047) and follows the impact of a massive economic and social collapse on the fortunes of the Mandible family.
In this dystopian future, private gold ownership and cash are forbidden, and everyone pays for goods and services with brain chips that contain a form of CBDC (central bank digital currency). There is also crazy money printing, hyperinflation, and shortages of basic goods, including food. Mandibles is a great book to recommend to someone who likes fiction, but has no interest in Bitcoin– yet.
