Good but overall a bit more FUD than fun.
Definitely erring on the side of caution. Therefore, a sensible look at Crypto. Recommended. .

Great, evenhanded overview
Unlike so much content about crypto the book felt even handed. The author seems cautiously optimistic about the blockchain technology, but not overly so. I think he also did a great job explaining some of the technicalities. The voice actor was great as well!

Great narrator
the narrator made this book easy to listen to. It's a tough subject to follow and I've tried a few other books but the narration was dull and monotone boring, this guy was great. smashed it out in a couple of days

A complete guide
Enjoyed how the book starts describing money and how we’ve exchanged value throughout history (areas not discussed enough when talking about cryptocurrency) Learnt some fun facts about the history of money.
Really great explanation on the basics of cryptography sets the scene well to go into the details or bitcoin and blockchains.
As someone relatively familiar with the field I found it useful to clarify and reinforce some key concepts. Also suitable for a complete ‘beginner’
