Crypto-hopeful-but-skeptical.. but now more hopeful and less skeptical
4 stars
I thought this was a very solid book. I'd recommend giving it a read for the crypto skeptical. I had my own understanding of crypto which was pretty well validated.. but it did serve to educate me on some recent developments in that space (like ethereum's proof-of-stake migration). My broader notes on the book are here: notes.justin.abrah.ms/posts/20240822233107-read_write_own and my views on crypto before reading the book are here: justin.abrah.ms/2022-01-27-my-thoughts-on-crypto.html
