Books and Articles

2015 - Digital Gold by Nathaniel Popper

For someone with no experience in digital currencies, we always recommend starting with Digital Gold by Nathaniel Popper. Originally published in 2015, it’s getting more and more outdated, but still remains an entertaining read that gives you an appreciation of the space, quick overview of the technology behind Bitcoin and its major players.

2017 - How Money Got Free by Brian Patrick Eha

A more recent book with similar narrative.

2018 - The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking

YouTube Videos/Channels/Podcasts
