Overview

Cryptocurrency can feel like an incomprehensible world, especially when you're just getting started. We've both been through the whole process of learning how to buy, send, spend and invest in cryptocurrency so we know how frustrating and confusing it can be. By the end of this book, you are going to be feeling a whole lot more confident than you do right now; in fact, we're sure you are going to want to get more involved. Back when we were getting started, we had a ton of questions about how to get into blockchain and cryptocurrency such as: - How do I get started? - What is Bitcoin? - How do I buy and spend Bitcoin? - Is Bitcoin safe? - How do I keep my data safe and private? - What's the difference between blockchain and cryptocurrency? - What's the difference between cryptocurrency and coins? - Is it all a giant pyramid or Ponzi scheme? - How do I spot a scam and avoid losing my money? - How do I store my coins and keep them safe? - Should I invest? If you don't yet know the answers to these questions you're not alone - most people can't answer a single one. People are intimidated by cryptocurrency and think it's too complicated to wrap their heads around, so they give up. Worse, they feel that the cryptocurrency craze has already passed them by, and they've missed the boat or don't want to be left behind. We're here to tell you that it's not too complicated to learn and nothing has passed you by. We've written this book as your one-stop-shop for everything blockchain, cryptocurrency, and coins. Stick with us, just like thousands of our followers do, and you'll not only understand the difference between these concepts; you'll also learn how you can send, buy, spend and invest and learn how to keep your coins safe and learn all about what the future of cryptocurrency and blockchain has in store for you.
