A few years ago I tried to learn what I could about bitcoins using Google searches. The more I read online about bitcoins at the time the more confusing the subject got for me. It was also around this same time that Apple removed all Bitcoin Wallet apps from their app store. Between the confusing information I was finding online, Apple dropping all Bitcoin Wallet apps (Bitcoin wallet apps have since returned to the app store) and some negative stores about bitcoin in the news at the time I decided Bitcoin was not something I wanted to put anymore time into let alone my hard earned cash.
Fast forward a few years and I decide to do some more research on bitcoins. Being a big Amazon Prime fan now and a big fan of the “for Dummies” books I go to Amazon to see what I can find. Much to my surprise I find the book “Bitcoin For Dummies 1st Edition” and it was just recently published! I download the free sample and minutes later I purchase the kindle version of the book.
What a eye opener Bitcoin For Dummies has been for me. If you are like me and feel that you don’t really have a good understanding about how bitcoins work or even what they are then I highly recommend you read this book from cover to cover. The book does a excellent job of touching on all things bitcoin. I thought at first this book maybe just one sided and only put a positive spin on bitcoins, but it does not. The book talks about the good and the bad. It talks about bitcoins history along with how things have changed and how to currently protect your bitcoins.
After reading this book from cover to cover I feel that I have a really good and solid understand of just what bitcoins are and how they work. Well reading the book I opened up a couple Bitcoin Wallet accounts (CoinBase & blockchain) along with ordering a KeepKey hard wallet. Along with my new found knowledge of bitcoins I have had the confidence to purchase my first bitcoins!
This book has cleared up so many misconception I had about bitcoins and I can’t say enough good things about it, highly recommend!
I will now leave you with a quote from the book and something for you to think about...
"No one is saying you need to put your full trust in bitcoin from the start, as there is a lot of information to sift through. But if you are willing to keep an open mind to what bitcoin stands for and the point it is trying to get across, you can make a weighted decision on whether or not to put your trust in digital currencies."
