‘Every society since mankind began trading things of value had some type of currency.’
Chicago author/entrepreneur Neil Hoffman has made a fortune trading bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. An ex-army, an online entrepreneur and a self-taught computer programmer, he loves trading cryptocurrencies and forex and he sees it as having a huge potential to make some serious income. In this book he shares his insights in cryptocurrencies and forex, believing that bitcoin and cryptocurrencies will revolutionize the world within the next decade. Neil has published three books to date and now he generously treats us to two of the major ones in one bundle!For many of us the concept of cryptocurrencies is foreign and understanding that paucity of background information Neil offers the history of this ‘new currency’: ‘While the percentage of people with knowledge of it is still small, the news of this amazing innovative opportunity in economic evolution is spreading. It's spreading because cryptocurrency has already proven to be the perfect solution for many who are already struggling in this harsh and slanted economic environment. The opportunities are endless, and all it takes is a little know-how, and you can start building your new financial portfolio with cryptocurrency and turn a tidy profit in the process… The word cryptocurrency itself is a blend of two Greek words, "crypto," which means ‘to be hidden or to be kept private’ while "currency" refers to the object used to transfer value from one party to the next. Today, that object is money, but in the modern world of cryptocurrency, it is digital code. It is basically the use of a complex code to encrypt data transfers to exchange value. This is done by creating complex mathematical formulas and unique protocols designed to make the codes virtually impossible to break, counterfeit, or duplicate. These protocols then not only protect the transaction between two parties but they also conceal the identity of all those involved… Cryptocurrency, like all other innovations, was created to solve a particular problem. In the beginning, it was never meant to become the preferred currency of trade but was to be used as a side product to complement an already existing digital currency system. You probably had no idea that each time you used your debit card, credit card, or had an automatic deposit sent to your bank account, you were using digital currency.’ He adds the same quality of information about the content of the other two books in this invaluable bundle – ‘ ‘OK, so what's Bitcoin? It's not an actual coin, it's "cryptocurrency," a digital form of payment that is produced ("mined") by lots of people worldwide. It allows peer-to-peer transactions instantly, worldwide, for free or at very low cost. Bitcoin is now deemed to be the foremost payment procedure for online commerce, ardent spectators of cryptocurrencies consider this fact to be a drastic march on the trails of finance viewed on a universal scale. Experts however, spark a fresh debate around and on the matter of Bitcoin, simply the fact that majority of buyers in Bitcoin market are a bunch of speculators. Bitcoin is an ideal reflection of how cryptocurrencies can assume a shape in the imminent time, and capitalists must deem a larger perspective. The immense popularity and ever-mounting price is momentary, but dealing with the essentials regarding Bitcoin and its trivial competitors will lead to a perfect deliberation and that's going to determine its imminent future.’This is the type of language that Neil uses throughout his books – accessible explanations that genuinely teach rather than simply define. In this tone he defines and explains Bitcoin, Etherem, Ripple, Monero, Litecoin, Golem, Facctom – their similarities and differences and when each is best used. And after sharing his personal history on how he became a millionaire with his introduction and use of Altcoins.Granted the book becomes more complex as the pages turn (as well a guide should!) but stay with Neil and get to understand this inevitable change in currency that is on its way. ‘While the idea of switching to cryptocurrency is still pretty scary to many people, the more you learn about it, the more you'll see its potential. It is a powerful currency that is not going to go away and eventually it will erode this current economic system in a way that will change the very core of how we do business in every corner of this planet.’ This is a near definitive introduction to a concept we all must learn. And Neil Hoffman is an exemplary guide! Grady Harp, December 17

it seems to be a brilliant opportunity. At the same time
Bitcoin is on the rise now, so more and more people are thinking about investments in the cryptocurrency. With news about futures on bitcoin, it seems to be a brilliant opportunity. At the same time, we can see some problems with transactions when the number of participants increases so quickly. As always - you should decide if you will invest in Bitcoin for yourself. These books provide you with the all needed information in order to make a decision. Most likely, blockchain technology will live, develop and we will see many great changes connected with it.
