Mark Jeffrey breaks through all the hype and technical mumbo-jumbo to explain bitcoin and Bitcoin (there is a difference!) on a level everyone can understand. Using everyday analogies, Jeffry brings home the ideas behind the concept of cryptocurrency and how it works. I can't wait until the advanced primer comes out, although I'm not going to wait on that to get started with bitcoin!

Clearly written and very helpful. Actually, There was very little that I hadn't already learned by reading various articles on the Internet, but I could have saved a lot if time by reading this book first.I think the book could go a little more into the concept of hashing that the general public could still understand. I still don't get why the hash has to be guessed but then can be almost instantly confirmed by other miners.

This amazing, easy-to-read eBook gives us all the language, definitions, and understanding of the Bitcoin currency, technology and community. Mark Jeffrey's examples and comparisons allow us to comprehend complex interactions and technology simply, including mining, hashing, the block chain and current trends. A must-read before involving yourself in the news of this disruptive currency, and before attending presentations by others (who tend to start in the middle assuming you know the basics). Mark is a wonderful writer with an informal style explaining technology to a non-technical audience.

Great e-book about Bitcoin explained in an entertaining and simple way without making the reader feel "simple". Extremely interesting subject matter.

This e-book is packed full of interesting facts and "how-to" information regarding bitcoin. Written in a manner easy to read, as if you were having a dialog with Mark about a topic he is obviously passionate about. This will be a handy reference going forward and I'm looking forward to the next release in the series.

This slim but pithy volume took me from 0 to 60 on Bitcoin in less than 45 minutes. I loved it!The writing style is like that of a close friend walking you through the basics in an easy-to-understand, straightforward manner.It's almost like an FAQ -- in that each section poses a good question and then answers it clearly and concisely. And the author does a great job of anticipating exactly when you're gonna want to know about topic A, B, C, D, etc, and answers them in that order. So the whole thing flows very nicely.The biggest takeaway for me was the realization about that we are RIGHT NOW at the birth of something that has the potential to be as important (or perhaps more so) than the Internet itself. (Imagine buying the domain Cars.som in 1991 ;- )I also really appreciated the section on how tech novices like myself can get in on Bitcoin mining without having to purchase servers and do complicated technical tasks.I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to be brought up to speed -- quickly -- on the world of Bitcoin and the opportunities that abound.

Mark Jeffrey is one of the most brilliant writers of our day; anyone who has ever read his fiction knows this. Good writers are good thinkers, so it stands to reason that Mr. Jeffrey would be adept at rolling his sleeves up, hunkering down, and churning out strong non-fiction writing on a technical subject. As expected, Jeffrey delivers. This is the definitive bitcoin guidebook. Period. Download this book, grab a cup of coffee and prepare to journey deep into the world of bitcoin.
