Editorial Reviews

“Cryptocurrency Unchained… I gave the book a read and I am impressed. The book provides a concise, cohesive and comprehensive overview of important concepts in the cryptocurrency and digital asset space, using plain language that is easy to understand. I know from my own experience that this is very hard to achieve without compromising on technical accuracy, but the book does an admirable job. I would recommend it for anyone looking for an up-to-date bird-eye understanding of the fast-moving and jargon-laden field of blockchain. It is particularly suitable for audiences such as business executives, lawyers, financial professionals and so on.”
