Crypto prices and NFTs are hogging the headlines, but they are just the most visible components of a rapidly growing decentralized financial system (DeFi) that has the potential to significantly challenge how we buy, sell, and trade just about everything. Blockchain and cryptocurrency may seem like a new thing, but they have been around for over 10 years. The problem is that the world of crypto can be very confusing with all the jargon, acronyms, and other unfamiliar words. This eBook contains an overview of the entire ecosystem as well as deeper insights to help you think about the consequences (intended and unintended) of our transition into a decentralized, trustless, world.

Helpful primer on an important topic.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 29, 2021

Verified Purchase

Was looking for an overview of blockchain/crypto that didn't dumb things so far down that the information wasn't useful. This book did not disappoint. Good writing helped make what could have been unintelligible tangle of new tech terms and methods of executing transactions into exactly what I was looking for....a base of information I could use to launch further research into specific topics that interest me most. I understand this is a complicated topic and most likely no straight-forward progression through it, but seems like it could have been helped with a little reorganization and/or editing...the book at times seemed to jump from one topic to another....then back again...without, to me, coming to a convenient transition and/or stopping point.

An "executive" read!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 20, 2022

Verified Purchase

Shelly Palmer is smart as hell. This is a good 10,000 foot view of crypto. (Thank you Shelly). But be aware that this is an 'executive' primer. You'll find little in-depth info here. Trying to get up-to-speed? This book works.

Simplified and Easy To Read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 17, 2021

Verified Purchase

Shelly Palmer did a very good job explaining the Blockchain, Smart contracts and Cryptocurrency in this book. Complex concepts were explained in a way that non-expert like me can easily understand through his use of simple language. It is insightful and a good source of compacted information about these emerging technologies.

Shelly breaks through the hype to deliver practical knowledge for businesspeople

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 20, 2021

Verified Purchase

As I write this, Elon Musk is actively talking up cryptocurrencies. It seems like every artist and sports star (and their managers) are looking to get into NFTs. At the same time, the media is writing a ton about these new worlds.

However, businesspeople need practical information on this new world, not a lot of breathless hype. Shelly delivers useful and practical knowledge on these seemingly complex ideas and makes it easy to understand.

A No BS Guide and Reference Tool

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 21, 2021

Verified Purchase

I've been looking for a book to explain everything in the simplest terms possible. I don't want to be an expert or read a lot of fluff that I'll never remember. Shelly hits the mark with this book. It's short, easy to read, and I know just enough to explore the newish technology further should I decide to. It's also a great reference if you want quick answers later too.

Timely and relevant, a must-read!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 20, 2021

Timely and relevant ebook on everything you need to know about crypto. Shelly plainly explains let’s concepts and terms so that they are easy to understand lingo and not jargon. Shelly is a thought leadership, a community leader and an incredibly intelligent and passionate advocate for technology and marketing. A must read book if you are an executive a speculator or an enthusiast in this emerging world of Defi, Blockchain, cryptocurrency and NFT’s.

Easy to understand. And the glossary alone is an absolute necessity if one choses to live in the crypto world. My thanks to Mr Palmer . Also I don't reember many authors names, yet I do remember Shelly Palmer.

An overall mediocre summary

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 7, 2021

Verified Purchase

quite mediocre summary woth little explanation or actual insight
I guess for £2 it's ok if u don't have the time or energy to do some googling
quite underwhelming in general

I just took one additional star off for some batshit crazy chapter on the value of the USD - I hope this was irony gone wrong.
