One of the most popular and successful books about cryptocurrencies is Antony Lewis's The Basics of Bitcoin and Blockchain. This is a great book for those who are just joining crypto as well as for experienced experts.

This is a great book to see where it all started. In the beginning, the author talks about traditional finances and how money used to work, and from there he starts to discuss cryptocurrencies and the whole blockchain in detail.

This book does not assume that the reader has any expertise and is structured in a way that everyone will understand. Newcomers will be able to receive much-needed information and those who are already familiar with blockchain will still be able to find some interesting information that they might not have known.

“Bitcoin has been declared dead over 300 times! But it lives on...” - Antony Lewis

Written by a father and son duo, this book tells a great story of how much impact blockchain had and will most likely have on our world. 

In this book, the authors talk about how blockchain will transform and change what and how we do things online. According to them, blockchain has already helped the development of expanding financial services, and it's on its way to developing this space even more.

This book also goes into detail and explains how blockchain can be useful in other sectors. One of the most important parts being discussed here is how much protection this new technology can bring to personal identity safeguarding and what the consequences of it will be. 

This is a great book that everyone will enjoy, no matter if you are a complete newbie or an experienced trader.

“Data is becoming a new asset class – one that may trump previous asset classes.” - Don Tapscott and Alex Tapscott

Written by Laura Shin, host of a famous crypto podcast Unchained. This book tells the story of Ethereum, the second-largest crypto and biggest blockchain in the world.

This might be the best-written book on our list. Laura has spent three years interviewing different people who contributed to the development of Ethereum, including Vitalik Buterin and Gavin Wood. She introduces these people as characters in her book, making it look like a book that might even get a movie adaptation.

In this book, you will meet and hear the story of eight Ethereum founders. It tells us all the dramatic events that took place when Ethereum was in development and even mentions the story of how one founder was let go. Another big topic that this book also covers is the infamous DAO hack, which is probably the biggest crypto hack to this day. 

This book will help readers learn about Ethereum, but it will also be a good option for those who are not into crypto, because of the way this book is constructed and written.

“It was like the biz-guys-versus-devs debates of early Ethereum. Again, the dev prevailed.” - Laura Shin

Being more centered around crypto investments, Cryptoassets is a book written by Chris Burniske and Jack Tatar. This book looks at cryptos from a financial perspective, rather than from a technological perspective.

This book is aimed more at blockchain investors, rather than programmers. It starts off by describing the early developments of Bitcoin during the 2008 financial crisis and what impact this crisis had on blockchain development. It then goes into describing the differences between Bitcoin and the whole blockchain technology.

It then goes into trying to define cryptocurrencies as an asset class, even creating a strong framework to calculate the value of any crypto.

This is a great book that will be enjoyed by people of all backgrounds and expertise.

“Cryptoassets, like gold, are often constructed to be scarce in their supply. Many will be even more scarce than gold and other precious metals. The supply schedule of cryptoassets typically is metered mathematically and set in code at the genesis of the underlying protocol or distributed application.” - Chris Burniske

Written by a famous blockchain entrepreneur, Andreas Antonopoulos, The Internet of Money is a great crypto book aimed at the board audience. 

According to Antonopoulos, this book represents and tells a story of how he joined the crypto world and what his journey has been like.  

While telling his story, the central point of this book is still Bitcoin and blockchain based.

It is also an easy book to read, with well-constructed characters and storytelling.

“The purpose of mining is not the creation of new bitcoin. That’s the incentive system. Mining is the mechanism by which bitcoin’s security is decentralized.” - Andreas Antonopoulos
