Hey crypto fans,

 

What are the best crypto books and podcasts for newcomers looking to learn about the subject? 
Here’s a list of some to help you quickly scale the learning curve.

 

Crypto books

 

* The Bitcoin Standard (Saifdean Ammous)  
If you're looking for a well reasoned argument for Bitcoin, read the Bitcoin Standard. Regarded as one of the best cases for Bitcoin it analyses the historical context, the economic properties and future implications.

 

* Mastering Bitcoin (Andreas Antonopoulos)
Mastering Bitcoin is one of the most comprehensive and thoughtful guides to what Bitcoin is, who might use it and how it works. Great for anyone thinking about it from a coding perspective or simply wanting to see under the hood.

 

* The Infinite Machine (Camila Russo)  
A great insight into the origins and history of Ethereum written as a narrative focused on the characters, their motivations and the drama, 
rather than technical details. If you like Michael Lewis (Flashboys, The Big Short) you’ll love this.

 

* The Price of Tomorrow (Jeff Booth)  
Jeff Booth's book isn’t explicitly about crypto, but he clearly had it in mind presenting a compelling argument for how deflation is the only sensible route out of the mess that fiat money has landed modern economies in.

 

* Where does money come from? (Josh Ryan-Collins)  
Crypto is described as the antidote to uncontrolled central bank money printing, but what does that really mean, and where does money actually come from? Read this book for an answer that is fascinating and surprising in equal parts.

Crypto podcasts

 

* What Bitcoin Did
Peter McCormack has developed one of the most listened to Bitcoin podcasts by combining an engaging, relaxed style with great content. He isn’t the most technically sophisticated, which is why the show works so well for newcomers.

 

* The Pomp Podcast
Anthony Pompliano, commonly known as The Pomp - is one of the biggest cheerleaders in the Bitcoin space. An aggressive crypto advocate, his style isn't to everyone’s taste, but he pulls no punches and is fully invested.

 

* The Breakdown
Approaching 100 episodes, Coindesk’s flagship podcast, hosted by Nathaniel Whittemore, provides a daily cross-section of the biggest stories in crypto, deftly mixing up short 15 minute daily bites, with interviews and long reads.

 

* Unchained
Running since 2016 ‘Unchained’ is one of the oldest and most respected crypto podcasts out there. Laura Shin has great journalistic pedigree, as the first mainstream reporter to cover crypto assets full-time.

 

* Bitcoin Fundamentals
Preston Pysh hosts a collection of Bitcoin focused podcasts within a wider network of investment related content. Actively managing a portfolio, Pysh takes a deep dive into the overlap between macro economic issues and Bitcoin.

This is just a short selection, there are plenty of others. What books/podcasts do you recommend?

 

Thanks,
Karl from Bitcasino

Well, My personal favourite is mastering bitcoin and the infinite machine. You guys should definitely read them because they are very helpful In building knowledge about crypto world and how it works and if we talk about podcast then my personal favourite is "what bitcoin did" and The pomp podcast. As the crypto space has matured, podcasts covering Bitcoin and crypto currency have proliferated so these two podcasts are my fav!
