Book testimonials
“I consider Inventing Bitcoin as one of the best books to gift to your friends or family for them to start their own rabbit hole journey. I personally found the book at the start of 2020 and was amazed at how it helped click so many pieces of the puzzle into place in my own mind after having spent years trying to wrestle with so many of the concepts that make bitcoin so unique!”
— Daniel Prince, Host of Once Bitten Podcast
“Inventing Bitcoin is so good because it’s the result of Yan teaching Bitcoin to high school students for a year, evolving the best explanations and analogies, determining the optimal stacking and framing. I don’t think any other Bitcoin book evolved that way.”
— Cory Klippsten, Founder & CEO, Swan.com
“I sent out another copy today to an interested investor. I must have sent about one hundred this year. Great introduction to Bitcoin with enough depth if you want to get into the weeds.”
— Dan Tapiero, Founder & CEO 10T Holdings
“Yan explains what Bitcoin is with brevity and insight. Reading his book gave us the confidence to pivot our entire business into Bitcoin. Read it and it will change your life.”
— Anthony Scaramucci, Founder, SkyBridge Capital
“There are extremely few books that can boast that they take a very complex and difficult idea, and make it easy to understand. ‘Inventing Bitcoin’ starts from the fundamental problem that needs solving and piece by piece rebuilds bitcoin conceptually from the ground up. And does this without a bunch of technical jargon. It may very well be my favorite book for grasping the how and why of the Bitcoin system… and I’ve read quite a few of them.”
— Guy Swann, Host of Bitcoin Audible Podcast
