Its balance of technical details, business knowledge and hilarious cautionary tales makes this book an accessible introduction to cryptocurrencies-skepticism. I can't wait for this book to become a history book (and even then, it will be worth the read), but as long as your friends, relatives, and even government representatives keep showing interest in crypto, you owe yourself to be informed about its questionable merits and potential risks.

The author's blog is also an invaluable resource about the subject. @davidgerard@circumstances.run
