Hello, I figure that given the variety of OF members (bankers, engineers, lawyers, etc etc) somebody could offer some advice... I would like to understand a bit better the crypto/bitcoin phenomenon, I'm not going to invest anything. I'm more interested in the technical and sociological sides of this story, so a journalistic-type of book is appealing. There are a few around, I wonder if some of you could pinpoint a good one? In this list for example: https://medium.com/coinmonks/what-are-the-best-books-to-learn-bitcoin-409aeb9aff4b The O'Reilly book may be too technical for me, but the others sound interesting.
This has always been one of my favorites, explains the current crypto phenomenon quite well. It's early days though. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006J8HZ32/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1
