Mastering Bitcoin

If you are a beginner and want to jumpstart your way into blockchain and bitcoin, I am sure this is your book. Excellent book. Very rich in content and have detailed explanation of every little section.

This book is amazing. Read this one book and you can answer any and every question about bitcoin. It goes into excruciating levels of details so if you're looking for an overview, this isn't the book for you.

The book covers to a great extent the nuances of Bitcoin including programming aspects. However for a blockchain based technology it all the more difficult to have a simulator. All in all a well articulated and framed book for beginners. And the best among all present in the market.

Nice product

It will not come as a surprise if this book is made as part of college syllabus in the near future. Though targeted at techies, Andreas has tried and made it as simple as possible to the extent where even non techies can understand bitcoin and the technology behind it.

All technical details explained nicely. God's for in-depth knowledge about Bitcoin. Programs were an added bonus for me.

Excellent book to learn bitcoin. No one else can explain you in this technique. Highly recommended .

Best book to get in-depth knowledge on block chain, specially on Bitcoin.

I have read a lot of books on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and the quality of this one simply blows all the others out of the water. This is a very murky area informationally, and I was frankly shocked at just how good this book is. If you're familiar with other O'Reilly Press programming books, it might be less surprising that this is exceedingly well-written, extremely useful, and incredibly enlightening, but still I was taken aback at the depth and quality of this book. (I've said it already, but it bears repeating that cryptocurrency books vary widely in quality and frequently toe the line of marketing rather than informing.) In any event, kudos to Andreas and his editors and I have already preordered (and breathlessly await) his forthcoming Ethereum book. One final note: this book is a great resource not just for programming, but simply understanding, Bitcoin. Much of it is reasonably complex and requires programming background, but the book does not require you to actually be plugging code into a command line to appreciate the insights and explanations.

Excellent to really understand Bitcoin technology

I've always wanted to understand Bitcoin from an technical point of view. Reading all the BIPs and whitepaper can be challenging and quite daunting to me. I'm an engineer by trade but lack understanding and confidence in reading academic papers. This book is incredibly easy to read, applies user stories with real transactions to breakdown all parts of Bitcoin; wallets, transactions, nodes, network. There's so many "that's how that works" moments, I just wanted to read more. Great book!

Excelente publicação do Andreas. Não indicado para iniciantes no assunto embora alguns capítulos iniciais abordam conceitos básicos e introdutórios do protocolo e da tecnologia por trás do Bitcoin. Para programadores, indico fortemente. Conteúdo bem elaborado e a parte técnica bem avançada.

Soy desarrollador de aplicaciones y un apasionado del mundo del blockchain y todo lo que le rodea. Compré este libro con idea de entender a fondo el funcionamiento detallado de Bitcoin y su blockchain... y no puedo estar más contento con la decisión. Lo explica todo al más mínimo detalle y aunque esto pudiese parecer un signo de lectura pesada o tediosa, en absoluto. Está genialmente escrito e hilado. Usa ejemplos prácticos de la vida real que hacen muy amena la lectura. El único requisito: saber inglés. Me terminé el libro en poco más de una semana aprovechando cualquier rato (tren, metro, andando por la calle hacia el trabajo...). En serio, me pareció apasionante. Totalmente recomendable.
