Introduction

• Investing in Blockchain companies is no different
  from investing in any other industry. To succeed,
  you need a thorough understanding of the space
  you plan to be in before you even think of
  allocating any capital toward a particular
  project or asset. It is not an accident that do
  your own research has become more and more of a
  chant for the Crypto niche in the Blockchain
  industry, over time. Following this mantra is
  what leads to rational investing and trading in
  any sphere. Below, we have compiled a list for
  you of what we believe are the must read books
  for any aspiring Blockchain and Crypto investor.

Cryptoassets The Innovative Investor's Guide to
Bitcoin and Beyond

• by Chris Burniske and Jack Tatar
• Of all of the books about Blockchain, this book
  often comes up as an excellent guide to the
  entirely new and rapidly emerging asset class of
  Cryptocurrencies from industry experts. It gives
  a broad overview of the state of digital assets
  and is highly recommended if you want to
  understand where the financial world is moving
  to. If youve been in crypto for a while, it may
  also be a great review of the history of
  Cryptocurrencies, while if youre new, you will
  gain valuable insights into investing in this
  space. On the road to making all of this clear,
  Burniske and Tatar highlight how to spot quality
  Cryptoassets, avoid hype and fraudulent projects,
  and compose and balance your portfolio.
  Cryptoassets is a must-read for beginning
  crypto-enthusiasts and experienced capital market
  investors alike who want to learn a portfolio
  strategy backed by the opinions of industry
  experts.

Digital Gold Bitcoin and the Inside Story of the
Misfits and Millionaires Trying to Reinvent Money

• by Nathaniel Popper
• This book has been treated as if it were the
  Bitcoin bible of sorts by many in the space. It
  is not difficult to find in any group of
  cryptophiles a handful of investors and traders
  who got their start in the space with this work
  and there is a reason for that. Nathaniel Popper
  followed the movers and shakers in the early days
  of the Bitcoin space in order to compile the
  definitive history of it in an engaging fashion.
  Here, with Poppers engaging style of writing, it
  is fairly easy to understand the how and why of
  the rise of Bitcoin and the blockchain industry.
  This work is often considered as one of the first
  blockchain investment books that you should read
  before you dive deeper into a more technical
  analysis of the industry. Think about it like
  getting your feet wet before diving into the
  Crypto space.

The Internet of Money

• by Andreas M. Antonopolous
• If you are not already familiar with Andreas
  Antonopolous, then you should be.
• This particular book does an excellent job of
  answering the question of why Bitcoin has brought
  about a financial and technical revolution, with
  a potential that exceeds its original label of
  being a digital currency. In doing so, Andreas
  shows us how the rise of Bitcoin may be equated
  with the rise of the Internet. If one central
  theme can be taken from this work, it is that
  Blockchain is fundamentally changing our approach
  to solving problems of all kinds in all areas,
  due to its status as a decentralized technology.

Mastering Bitcoin Unlocking Digital Currencies

• by Andreas M. Antonopolous
• Andreas did not stop at one seminal work for this
  space. In order to fully understand Cryptos
  beginnings and possible future, you need to read
  both this and The Internet Money. The general
  utility of Mastering Bitcoin lies in the fact
  that programmers in the industry often consider
  it to be the best book on blockchain out there,
  from a technical standpoint. More specifically,
  if you want to understand anything with regard to
  how Cryptocurrency networks are programmed, then
  you should start here. As Bitcoin was the father
  of Cryptocurrencies, its code was effectively the
  father of the code of those who came after.
  Because of this, in a deep, technical sense, this
  may be the best book on Blockchain out there.

The Age of Cryptocurrency How Bitcoin and
Digital Money Are Challenging the Global Economic
Order

• by Paul Vigna and Michael Casey
• The book dives into the questions of the
  ideological and technical roots of
  Cryptocurrencies from the point of view of
  journalists who have an extensive amount of
  experience in the financial industry. Vigna and
  Casey demystify the origins and functions of
  Cryptocurrencies, concluding with the central
  hypothesis that we will soon reach the age of a
  cyber-economy. Given this, one could also term
  this a guide to surviving in such a time. Along
  the way to reaching these conclusions, they take
  an unbiased view of the space, starting with
  Bitcoin, which may be particularly attractive to
  those of you who enjoy getting a balanced opinion
  on a new investment. Even though it is not
  necessarily the best book on Blockchain
  technology on a technical level, it is possibly
  the best for those looking for more of a history
  around the industrys rise.

The Bitcoin Standard The Decentralized
Alternative to Central Banking

• by Saifedean Ammous
• The Bitcoin Standard may be considered to be on
  the top of the list of Blockchain investment
  books to read, just like the others. Chiefly,
  this is because it deeply analyzes the historical
  context of the rise of Bitcoin, the economic
  properties that have allowed it to grow quickly,
  and its likely economic, political, and social
  implications. Ammous recaps the history of
  technologies performing the functions of money,
  starting from primitive shells to modern
  government debt. With this background in place,
  he moves on to explain the operation of Bitcoin
  in a functional and intuitive way. Also, the book
  explores some of the most common questions like
  Is bitcoin wasting energy? Is it for criminals?
  Who controls it? Can it be killed?

Reminiscences of a Stock Operator

• by Edwin Lefèvre
• First published in 1923, while this is not a
  Blockchain book, this time tested book represents
  a brilliant take on crowd psychology and market
  timing, which is why we believe it is a must-read
  for all investors, whether new or experienced.
  Overall, regardless of the fact that
  Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain represent a new
  industry entirely, the advice contained in
  Lefèvres work is timeless, simply due to how
  people think about investing.

The Intelligent Investor The Definitive Book on
Value Investing

• by Benjamin Graham
• While this is not typically considered to be one
  of the best Blockchain or Crypto books, per se,
  Grahams philosophy of value investing is
  essential for any investor to know. In a
  nutshell, its utility lies in the fact that it
  helps investors mitigate against substantial
  errors in their strategies, while teaching them
  to develop long-term strategies. Grahams vision
  has made this book the stock market bible ever
  since its original publication in 1949. This
  particular work is also widely renowned for the
  praise it received from Warren Buffett himself.
  Do a quick Google search anywhere for the best
  blockchain investing books and you will find this
  in almost every list compiled. While this may not
  be one of the typical best blockchain investment
  books to read, it is essential, especially for
  those coming into this new industry with little
  to no investment experience. Just as Digital Gold
  is a kind of Bitcoin bible, consider this to be a
  useful candidate for a general investing bible.

An Altcoins Traders Handbook

• by Nik Patel
• The book details 5 years of experience of a
  specific cryptocurrency trader and his efforts in
  putting together what he claims to be a
  comprehensive strategy for profitable altcoin
  speculation. The first part is centered around
  his personal life. The second hones in on
  practical trading strategies, including
  fundamental and technical analysis, with detailed
  charts and extra notes to illustrate key points.
  While this may not lie under the umbrella of
  books about blockchain, it will perfectly fit
  your needs if you are a trader interested in
  Altcoins with small market capitalizations. Even
  so, it is important to mention here that with any
  work that claims to provide insider information
  on investing, it is necessary to verify these
  claims with your own external research.
