This is a well written, easy to understand book which demystifies the hype around Bitcoin and the Cryptocurrency revolution. The author presents the facts in an unbiased and non technical way, but provides just enough background for people who wish to explore the machinations of the likes of forks & segwits.
A good discussion over dinner indeed.

A well written book about the pros and cons of owning Bitcoins. The book also goes into a lot of detail in describing the complexities of producing and assigning Bitcoins to buyers.

Excellent book for the understanding and history of Bitcoin
Reviewed in the United States on 11 December 2019Verified Purchase
I've read quite some books about blockchain and Bitcoin. All talk about the same basic high level concepts, nothing really special or deep. All copy more or less each other ideas and insights.
That was why I was pleasantly surprised about 'WTF is Bitcoin'. It explains the basic concepts but soon dives into the lesser-known aspects of Bitcoin (like transaction costs) in a very clear manner. Also, the history and background stories are entertaining and original. It's clear that Maxim Beatty is a long-time crypto enthusiast with real experience and knowledge. That knowledge and experience are condensed in this well-written and easy-to-read book. A real recommendation for newbies and Bitcoin enthusiasts.
