Loved reading this book. I wasn't sure at first but after I got started I couldn't put it down. This is a very well written book. It will tell you everything you need to know and helps you get started and so much more. I highly recommend it. I was given a review copy and voluntarily review it.

For a book that's called "Mastering Bitcoin for Starters/Dummies", it's very introductory. Every chapter includes a phrase along the lines of "this is just an introduction to this topic, not enough room in this book to discuss further. For more info check here or research yourself". If you know absolutely nothing about cryptocurrency and Bitcoin this book is worth a skim. Just check your library or get the $1 kindle version. Don't pay more than that.

Good Overview
A concise overview of Bitcoin Technology and Mining. The book is well written and well researched, and comes with many useful references.

A useful book for Bitcoin beginners that focuses on the utilitarian aspect of Bitcoin and how to invest in it.

I was expecting a little more specifics on Bitcoin since the title of the book starts with "Mastering Bitcoin for Starters.....". It was more of a summary about Bitcoin.

I’ve read two weak books before about this matter and I assure this is the best book if you want to know what is the bitcoin system.
I really enjoy the structure of the book. The author explain all the concepts and the possibilities to use a digital coin in the simpler way comparing to other authors.
It is positive the interests in creating a sense of community about the Bitcoin. The author shows that is not just an easy way to invest money and the system only works if people use their coins to buy things or if people use your computers to keep the security or help building the blockchain.
I also love the action chapters: what is a wallet, how to get one, how buy bitcoins and sell it, etc. Truly practical.
The book is not oriented for non-US citizens in some parts. For instance when he talks about the main exchange traders. It was tough to me find a way to buy bitcoins with my credit card (not American). The fees is too expensive. I think he could mention that in the book.
Also there is not high technician explanations about how it works the cryptography and the blockchain mechanics. Personally I love this trait and like the author promises this book is for dummies like me.
In sum, I definitely recommend this book to understand all the concepts.

This is a solid introduction. I was hoping for something a little bit more technical and in-depth, as I did not really learn very much I didn't already know...but it's a good refresher and would be an excellent intro to the topic for someone just trying to figure out what the hype is about. That being said, I do think the author is a bit too much of a crypto-utopian (is that a thing?). Lots of discussion about AMAZINGNESS of bitcoin, not too much discussion of the limitations or the ways that it has led to potentially more innovative currencies - and I think that that would have been a very productive discussion to offer in the book. Oh well, maybe in a future edition. The author does seem pretty invested in continual updates, so hopefully a later edition will include this. Either way, for 0.99 or whatever it is definitely a good introduction!

So this is a great book if you know absolutely nothing, nothing at all about Bitcoin. If you've read even a few good news articles though, it's not very helpful. The one caveat would be that he does provide a lot of good websites where you can go digging for more useful information. He also had a lot of grammatical errors, which I found irritating.

Ok book. Better than not knowing anything.
Touches upon how it works, but really only breezes past anything substantial.
Mostly a gee whiz omg type of review.
It is worth a dollar to buy this book, but not more.

Educating read
Very apt title. This book explains to the complete novice what bitcoin is about. Not too much that it's overwhelming, but enough to pique your interest in the subject.

You can read this book in two of hours or less if your familiar with bitcoin and the blockchain(not worth my money). It's a book that I would give a 10 year old to learn Bitcoin/Blockchain. I would say this book is bellow beginners level.

I opened this book knowing exactly nothing about Bitcoin. This book was a wonderful introductory guidebook that explains in the simplest of ways what Bitcoin is and how it works, and provides resources for readers who wish to learn more and take part in Bitcoin themselves.

Good intro
Good intro which nevertheless left me with many questions. Author could have done a better job addressing security concerns and how to keep bitcoins safe.

Con sabor a poco
Es una guía rápida para entender como funciona el bitcoin aunque uno queda con sabor a poco. Bastante esquemático. Bien escrito

Mastering Bitcoin is just Clickbait
I was hesitant to give it 4 stars. The book is more historically informative, with basic info, and links to websites. Not much technical information, which was what I was after. I had learned most of the information from Googling before reading this book since Cryptocurrency is becoming more popular. Still informative though if you don't know anything. There is a Bitcoin documentary on Netflix so ebooks for starters need to step up their game. On to the next book for me.
