Book testimonials
“This book provides an outstanding treatment of a complex phenomenon–the rise of cryptocurrency technologies.”
— Wilko Bolt, Journal of Economic Literature
“This book is a very nice introduction to Bitcoin, its structure, how it can be used (and possibly abused), and how it might evolve in the future. . . . The authors have a relaxed tone and this book could easily be incorporated into an undergraduate curriculum.”
