You and I, we all may wonder what really is Bitcoin? According to Alan John and Jon Law, "Bitcoin is many things: an open-source, peer-to-peer computer network, a collection of protocols, a digital gold, and a cryptocurrency."

Thus in Bitcoin: Answered, the authors explore the concept of bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a whole. This book gives us a brief history of Bitcoin, including who invented it, is it secure or a scam, its protocols and how it works. If you are eager to learn more about Bitcoin, then all of your questions will be answered in this book.

To be honest, I knew nothing about cryptocurrencies before reading this book, and as I delved deeper into the pages, I found myself asking a lot of questions and gleaning new information. The authors have also done an excellent job with the book's structure. They have linked these sections by using frequently asked questions to begin each section and feeding us knowledge by addressing these questions, making it easy for a newbie like myself to understand the concepts more clearly.

The authors attempted to make the terms and descriptions as clear as possible. They used various sketches, graphs, and photographs to convey their message to their audience. In my opinion, the book Bitcoin: Answered was both instructive and meaningful. The authors have examined the significance of Bitcoin and the future of cryptocurrencies in the financial market. The book also contains in-depth and comparative analyses of several digital currencies.

This book was interesting to read. It followed through on its commitment. It taught me everything I needed to know about cryptocurrencies, specifically Bitcoin. The authors also answered more practical concerns about Bitcoin fraud, the major flaws with it, and its much-hyped anonymity. I was impressed that the topics are presented clearly and straightforwardly.

This book undoubtedly deserves a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. I didn't give it a lower rating because I believe the authors have done a fantastic job of explaining the concept of Bitcoin. While educating us on the benefits of Bitcoin, they also pointed out the drawbacks of using this money.

Apart from being excellently written, it has been professionally edited and formatted. There were no grammatical or editing errors that I could discover. In addition, I found the book's contents and resources to be incredibly interesting and valuable. I can't think of anything I disliked about this book because everything was just right for me. This book is recommended to people who have little knowledge of the crypto market and are interested in investing, as well as to those who wish to have a better understanding of the market to make wise investment decisions in future.
