Anil – Essential Concepts of Bitcoin

Description of Essential Concepts of Bitcoin

This ebook is a collection of the most relevant and applicable frameworks, mental models, and heuristics as they relate to bitcoin.

Over the years I’ve created and collected a vast amount of notes, diagrams, charts, and quotes that I believe help to explain the inevitability of bitcoin from first principles.

I’ve now organized them into one easy to digest resource. After hundreds of iterations, I’ve finally compiled what I believe to be the most useful reference book for bitcoiners and precoiners alike.

In total, the book covers 40 concepts and 14 sub-concepts and is written for a non-technical audience that enjoy visual explanations.

I’m also thrilled to announce that the foreword to this book was graciously written by Jeff Booth.
