The most comprehensive book on crypto

I’m very happy happy with this purchase and impressed with this book. I’ve been investing in crypto for several years now and I’m constantly consuming as much information as I can through books and podcasts not only for keeping up to date on my investments, but also because I find the whole industry interesting and exciting. Mr.Lewis lays out a well balanced and realistic view for and against blockchains and crypto currencies. I thought I knew a lot about the technology, but Mr.Lewis has proved me wrong and I appreciate it. This book would be a great asset for both those new or interested in this emerging industry as well as those who have been here for years.
